Pretty much everybody has seen the fisheye perspective of a peephole, so I thought that was a great way to add a universally familiar detail less generic than just seeing anything, and a neat way of obscuring the action in a practical manner

@@katyann4198 Same here. Comparing this movie to the previous is miles away..... there, the atmosphere was right, the timing, the editing, everything created a feeling. The reactions to your comment from other people shows that most people don't even understand basic elements of movies, they don't even pay attention to details and hence they find it "boring". If it's dead simple like Evil Dead Rise, you don't have to understand a thing, and so you cannot be disappointed. It's for simpletons. "oh hey there is a trans boy" "oh heyy there is a drone I KNOW THAT thing!!!" ... that's what they can relate to, so these things are +1 points for simpleton viewers. If the guy in the movie would grab a flashlight, and point it, you would not say anything....but when he does the lighting with HIS SMARTPHONE! That you can relate to! Mia posessed was genius....she also had a "modern" problem with her drug addiction but it actually played well with the posession theme. They even intermingled them with different character traits, and in the end she came out victorious. Something that can be relatable to a lot of humans who actually lived, and fought with their demons, or just had problems in their life. Nowadays, what's a problem? Somebody has got an older iPhone? :D End of the world.

No, it's because Rami would put references into the movies (theater posters) for other horror films and they would do the same in return, specifically Nightmare on Elm Street having Evil Dead playing in one movie. The Hills Have Eyes also had a poster in Evil Dead if I remember correctly.

Evil dead movies can and certainly have stood on their own without ash but I absolutely woulda loved if in the end credits ash walked up on the docks and shot down the floating demon from the title woulda been genius imo.

[@legitaf5072]

There would only be one evil dead movie if ash wasn't in it. Dude carried the movies and show

[@FormedVoid]

I loved the deadite lead performance and lore in this film. Even this version of the Necronomicon itself was really well made visually, and had a great feeling of dread when it was found and opened. The vinyls were a great way to flesh out the history of the book, too. Makes it feel like the book has been doing this to people for a long, long time just like the original Necronomicon in Raimi’s trilogy. I’d love a spin-off film separate from the new modern trilogy (2013,2023,TBD) about the priest on the vinyls or an Earlier era of humankind battling deadites.

[@xfatalxflawx]

I think the comedic attempts are a great way to lower tension before continuing the wild ride, as well as serving as homage to the original trilogy.

She said in a interview she doesn’t like horror but horror sure does love, Alyssa Sutherland. I thought she did great and I think before she was possessed she looked pretty, although I was definitely looking to how thin her legs were lol. I wouldn’t necessarily say it was bad, because I actually enjoyed it and they were callbacks, and I really thought at the end when Beth was covered in blood with the chainsaw in hand, wearing that skirt and boots and making those facial expressions that I was singing Jane Levi on the screen again from the 2013 evil dead. I enjoyed the movie and I plan to see it again.

I really liked the movie and I thought it did continue on the story, actually. The priest mentions "3 books" - the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis we know as one of them by name from the previous movie, but Army of Darkness had 3 present. Now we've seen the Naturum Demonto (which was what they called it in Evil Dead 1, renamed later and in the "remake" it was explicitly called that to start). You also saw that book had a ton more additions to it and killing the creatures actually seemed impossible (as the priest said). My only complaint was 16+ is allowed where I live and teenagers wouldn't shut tf up during the tense parts of the movie 👴

[@madeofmeats]

My theater experience was also kind of ruined by people not shutting the fuck up during scenes that were meant to be tense, no idea if they were teenagers or not though

Dude, I think you need to rewatch the 2013 one. I just did, and I found Rise a gazillion times more fun and enjoyable (like Evil Dead should be). 2013 is a solid horror film, but it was just 100% edgy, miserable, joyless horror, and every character was bland as shit and hated each other. The acting was also atrocious except for Mia.

As a gritty reboot of the original Evil Dead film, it does its job well and the acting was pretty good (although Mia was the breakout character). I think the only character I actually had a problem with was Eric because he was the one that read the book yet acted like a humongous dick to David by calling him a coward for not wanting to kill her own sister, ignoring that this was a problem HE caused.

Rise is better because it actually tried new things and the deadites are much more faithful to the originals. The 2013 movie had boring ass deadites that may as well have been zombies instead

[@trentonjones7550]

This movie wasn't anything groundbreaking. But the thing I love about the movie is how self-aware it is. It doesn't try to get you with any cheap jump scares at all and is pretty straight to the point from the opening sequence. Around the 3rd quarter of the movie it does set it's foot off the gas and gets a little dull, and even the ending sequence was a bit of a let down I felt after everything that went on until then. All in all it was a good movie, I'd rate it a 7/10.

I personally thought this was one of the best in the series so far. A fresh take on it, and had a lot of nods to the old ones while maintaining a good balance of creepy, gory, and slightly funny and it didn’t need to be laugh out loud in any parts and hit on all the right points in my opinion.

Saw this movie a week ago and I really enjoyed it! Loved the cast, the setting, the horror aspects, the ruthlessness, the gore and violence, and smaller things like how the book played into the deadites and the things we were going to see. Imo it wasn't too dark but my theater did have the volume up pretty high lol, the opening hurt my ears a bit before I got used to it. I didn't think the jumpscares were overdone personally, but I was seeing the movie with some friends who squealed at every scare and that was just fun for me :) My critiques: - Would've liked some more characterization tbh, we get some very bare-bones establishment of our characters at the beginning and then very little of it has any bearing on the rest of the movie. The middle child was basically completely ignored, she had no character at all. The youngest girl had Staffany (which I loved) but she was basically just "youngest child." I really appreciated that the movie made no reference whatsoever to whether or not Danny was trans, that was nice to see. I personally wanted Danny to survive, I was very sad when he didn't. He at least had the music mixing that came into play and one or two moments where he got to be the caring older brother, I like those sibling dynamics. - The plot was too simplistic. And there are legitimate questions to be asked like "what IS an Evil Dead movie? Is this premise really franchise-able? How much can you push the boundaries before it would be better to just make a new movie altogether?" I love that the evil entity, the demon or whatever, has no ties to traditional ideas of religious demons and is completely unaffected by exorcisms or prayers or anything like that. Keep that, it's unique and really raises the stakes. Beyond that, have more of a plot. Have something the evil entity is trying to achieve, or some path for the protagonists to take. The plot and characters weren't the most engaging, it's the violence and gore and body horror that kept me watching, but it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive :) - I was also kinda disappointed by the final monster. I was more afraid when I saw the illustration in the book than when we saw the actual monster. It was a lot smaller than I imagined, and as the survivors were evading it around the car I was completely taken out of it, like "Oh come on, there's no way it didn't hear them moving around like that." Would've been great for it to just flip the car or something. Also we didn't get a good look at its body but it seemed to be mostly obscured by torn clothing. Personally I would've been far more horrified and disturbed if we saw its distended flesh and if the heads of the two kids were just wailing and moaning in agony rather than laughing or whatever. That would've chilled me to my core.

[@ahoy_m8y]
