Evil Dead Rise (2023) Horror Movie Review | Deadites in the City??

[@andholiday]

I agree with everything Fern said about the movie, great review

Points were made

[@jordancaleb3419]

@@jgarcia4721 very strong points!!

[@Skillet48]

Not the camera cutting to Fern when Ryan says "we're not pro child death" XD you guys were so funny in this, love seeing you together discussing horror!

[@lindsay1989]

Ellie is the best deadite in the series. She was so damn scary. Especially the peep hole scene. The actress was absolutely fantastic.

[@lallana2882]

The lack of reaction from 3 kids when the mom "died" took me right out of it. It was very hard to buy them as her children. I'm a full grown adult and when my mom passes, I'll be hysterical. Let alone all 3 children amounting to a few tears between them.

[@leonie.450]

Yesss! I liked them but they were just like: oh shes dead now ig chill

[@gregsmith1746]

I would be ok with kids not being safe if they teens but lke children dieing that to far

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

Every death was so unbelievable 😭 nobody cried enough

[@katebrunne4311]

damn Sarah ripped into this movie lol. i was quite entertained and i loved it. the opening scene made my jaw drop. I thought the high rise building concept created a scenario where they were actually trapped rather than using the detox thing as a plot device to keep them in that cabin. Thought the main deadite was freaking terrifying, especially the line "open up now"! Her acting was super. We thought the gore was a lot of fun. We weren't a fan of the mega deadite creature at the end, but loved the wood chipper idea.

[@melissamack333]

I agree on every point! The apartment setting was somehow scarier to me because there's LITERALLY nowhere else to go. At least in the woods, you can take off in any direction. They were trapped hundreds of feet above the ground 😭 Not that it would make a difference in the end regardless 😅 but this setting made it more realistic imo. & YESSSS she was SO creepy. "Mommy's with the maggots now" 👹 PLEASE STOP

[@DariusArt-nf7yl]

Agree with you both. The film is scary and it was great . Totally unappreciative reviewers!

[@sweetandsavoury]

Totally agree this movie was awesome, poor review

[@ivygrace2988]

Yeh this is definitely not the review I was hoping for.. everyone has their own opinions but yeh this review was a little too cynical for me..

[@sweetandsavoury]

@@ivygrace2988 100% 1 thing that's really annoying is comparing the 2013 Evil Dead with Evil Dead Rise.....news flash it's not the 2013 Evil Dead so just be grateful we have another awesome Evil Dead and stop bitching if you love the 2013 so much stay home and watch that

[@austinwiitanen]

Please do more videos together! I love hearing from Ryan and his insight/views of these films. Not to mention I love seeing you two play off each other and how natural these videos turn out! :)

[@Wraiven22]

I loved it personally. I do think they could have done a LOT more with the setting though. Have a massacre that goes through multiple apartments on multiple floors, give us the chaotic frenzy that they only hinted at with the peephole. Instead they went for a more intimate family story, and I don't hate that choice but I was left wanting more.

[@jordancaleb3419]

I think it was left open for a sequel. Lee Cronin has revealed he has four different directions he could go for a sequel.

[@melissamack333]

Loved Fern's cameo in this 😂❤❤ more family movie reviews!!!

[@jessiedobbiereactions]

100% agree with everything. I was so disappointed because it just didn’t have that special Evil Dead essence I was looking to see. Side note, hands down one of the cutest babies ever and I request the future reviewer be in every video 😂

[@saintgregory9372]

Girl bye ✌🏽 what essence were you looking for ? Just sounds like you’re just spewing bs

[@squidracerX]

Evil Dead Essence, yes 100% well said. Also cute baby :)

[@societycrumbles]

I want to know what a whole-ass wood chipper was doing in a random apt. building in the middle of a city, lol.

[@PossessedbyHorror]

you know what that’s such a good point

[@girlhasnoname0001]

Omg! I usually don't add comments on KZbin videos, but I can't help myself being distracted by your baby!!! THE OUTFIT! BEAUTIFUL BABY! Congratulations on being parents!

[@miguel_ignacio]

Ok I was hooked and then the baby came up. Like how do you expect me to focus?? She's ADORABLE.

[@rafaelcruz9973]

I thought this was the Hollywood studio Conjuring-verse version of an Evil Dead movie. It wasn't "bad", but it was a very generic script and the line delivery from the child actors was very awkward. This whole movie felt manufactured and it didn't go nearly as hard with the gore as the trailer made it out to be. I thought the actress playing the mom carried this entire movie on her back, I was hooked to the screen whenever she was on, but with the rest, I was kind of just waiting for the next scene. Also, they didn't do nearly as much as they could've with the building setting since everyone was inside the apartment the entire time.

[@muelitasgoblingirl]

Omg, Fern is so big and can sit so straight. I can't believe she's only 4 months old. Love her eyes ❤

[@peterwall9999]

i swear im at 8:00 min and im totally paying attention to the review .. not distracted by the worlds cutest baby lol yall are a cool family

[@chelsey1087]

Your baby is sooo cute awww. You two seem like amazing parents. Congratulations 😊

[@kvip23]

I found the opening sequence/end far more interesting than the main story

[@jackiesconcertviews]

Me too! I would have liked it better if they stayed in that lake setting and picked up from there

[@thepolacek]

Definitely

[@kowalsolosolo]

Mother turning against her children- I like that twist. The film says that there were three books,so I think it is easy to asume that Ash and the rest of the group found one of them.

[@esoteric76]

I am always pleasantly surprised to find a random review with BOTH of you! :)

[@theepiphanyofrulers7632]

This ACTUALLY scared me but I was definetely expecting some deeper different story, the writing needed work but I enjoyed this so much

[@NadineBotterman]

I'm sorry but I didn't hear anything you guys said after Fern appeared. She is the cutest!

[@nateetaylorr]

WE NEED MORE REVIEWS WITH BOTH OF YOU GUYS!!!! ❤

[@suzy8109]

Fern looking directly into the camera (at us) throughout the video was so cute ❤

[@mandyb2245]

I really like this one, though it made me kinda sad. SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I thought it was gonna be more like the 2013 one, and the mom was going to somehow come back to normal like Mia did. When she didn't, and then the sister and brother transformed into Deadites too, I felt bad for the poor little girl. She lost almost her whole family.

[@bradybarrett5354]

I really liked Alyssa Sutherland’s performance. I was hoping for a more gnarly monster once they fused together.

[@theIEF4]

I thought the final act with the Deadites fused together looked goofy. Made me think of "Human Centipede".

[@leonardogeorgete112]

Although the 2013 remake is better imo, I absolutely loved this one. Such a fun horror experience and it’s got such a rewatch value to it I love it

[@shay6498]

I agree with yall so much - I think i had way too high of expectations. I ALSO thought deadites were going to like take over the city!!! everybody in the complex turns into a deadite and the protags are trying to fight their way out! The broken stairs were a cop out!!!! It felt generic, like it could have been any sort of possession movie but it just so happened to be picked up by the Evil Dead franchise. I couldnt get over the way the book was found... and how the boy was just blasting that shit on his DJ equipment and nobody ... came in and told him to stop? ?? ? it just fell short for me and I'm glad I'm not alone I swear everybody else seems to think this is the best horror movie released recently

[@DMitch-ny3jb]

Dude I totally agree with u guys about the expectations being so high from the 2013 Evil Dead that Rise was a lil underwhelming for me! 2013 had better writing, acting, characters, gore, pretty much topped Rise in every way which is unfortunate! I wanted to love this movie and it ended up just being a decent movie for me!

[@jackiesconcertviews]

Loved the sisters! The kids not so much. Didn’t care for the neighbors :/ I think I would have loved it more if it stayed in the lake setting from the beginning of the film

[@mello2365]

Lol now I’m just picturing all ya’ll trying to hide from Deadites, and Fern just deciding to make all those adorable baby noises.

This movie was SO good. It had such a good story and good camera angles. It was a true good horror movie. And I’m a big horror fan so it was perfect. And I loved all the gore. I even got some tears too. Amazing movie 9.5/10 so close to 10/10 I highly recommend

[@bruisedviolets]

[@isaintrovert]

I really appreciated Fern’s insight. She seemed to have a lot of thoughts on this movie & pointed out some key elements. All seriousness, I love how this was a family review for a horror that was about a family lol. I had the same exact thoughts as you did. Especially with the “oh this will come in handy later on” scenes. I was over it lol. I want to point out that Stephen King is a giant fan of Evil Dead. I think he says it’s his favorite franchise & he’s the reason Evil Dead 2 got its budget & was made so I feel like all of The Shining homages were a nod to him in a way. I’m just guessing that that’s why though. Great review, love your videos! You’re a huge inspiration to me.

[@behnammcdelijani3898]

I read the full script of Evil Dead 2013 before it came out. Something that got changed in the movie which really dissappointed me was the scene of the rise of the abomination, the Mega Deadit. The abomination was written as an amalgamation of all the dead characters stuck together. I assume they just couldn't create it without usung CGI back then and now they just put it in Rise which also made sense due to the family theme of the movie.

[@lallana2882]

Wearing that top around Fern is brave 😅

[@MelieneGardner]

I might be one of the few here that mostly agree with your review of this. It was fun and I'm glad I saw it, but it could have been so much better. Dwelling on things that didn't matter (like the eye horror scenes and the overlong part near the end I won't spoil) while zipping through stuff that could have been better (like the cheese grater we saw for like 2 seconds) was an odd choice. Parts felt shoehorned in too. But again, it was fun. Much like Sarah, I'd watch it again. It just should have been better.

[@Bromeliadsss]

Aweeee - hello to the whole family

I loved the family review😂 Fern is adorable 🥰 I did enjoy a lot the mother's actingmI thought she was super creepy as a deadite

Omg Fern is so precious!

[@maryncole4661]

I could not stand the youngest kid. It felt like she was nine years old over-acting five years old. My other major complaint is that they showed almost every scary scene in the trailers. There wasn't a singe surprise until the last 20 minutes. This didn't feel like an Evil Dead movie at all.

[@curlwhurl8054]

You're such a beautiful family! It's lovely seeing Ryan hold little Fern! I'm glad you both got a lovely little movie date! ❤

[@mistress_mercury]

I loved it, it had a great blend of horror and camp which makes an ideal Evil Dead movie 😊

[@GusAlmostDied]

Evil DUD. I think the thing that bothered me most about ’Evil Dead Rise’ was the outdated stereotype that women that hold jobs in the music industry are burnouts / women who don’t want children are heathens / women who work in the tattoo industry live in a broken home Next…

[@theginger8855]

Okay, I love this style of review!! Having your partner there really adds to the flow of the convo, and having baby Fern there is also kinda oddly grounding 😅 love it! ❤️

[@wesselpricken6342]

The sister not being a mom was never explained and the beginning and the end of the movie didn't have anything to do with the storyline and felt soo out of place. I thought all of the kids were rlly cringe to watch bc of the bad acting and the end was also really trying sooo hard. TBH hated this movie

[@awesomejumpropevideos]

I completely agree on the Necronomicon being in a city setting. It’s weird. Imagine they get it from their cousin Mia from the 2013 film. Or even Uncle Ash….

[@Amber_xo_133]

Director Lee Cronin stated in an interview that 6,500 liters (or 1,720 gallons) of fake blood were used for the movie. The film was originally meant to release exclusively through HBOMax via direct-to-streaming, but it performed so strongly during test screenings that the studio decided to release it theatrically instead. The pizza place is called Henrietta's. A reference to Henrietta Knowby, the demon in the basement in Evil Dead 2. Inside the cabin in the prologue of the film is a ticking clock on the wall. It's the exact same clock as the one Cheryl is drawing in The Evil Dead(1981). To get into the character of an alternate personality, actress Alyssa Sutherland took inspiration from Jim Carrey's performance as Stanley Ipkiss in The Mask (1994). Shot in chronological order The film opens with the sound of a fly. This is the same exact sound used throughout different entries dating all the way back to the original, and has become a tradition to appear at least once. On the 'Extra Vision' podcast, director Lee Cronin revealed that all the characters were named after actors that had previously appeared in the Evil Dead films. Brings the Evil Dead back to New Line Cinema, who distributed the original film's theatrical release in 1983. If you look at Ellie's arms, they are wrapped in tattoos of Vines. This is a nod to Cheryl from 'The Evil Dead', Bobby Joe from 'Evil Dead II' and Mia from 'Evil Dead', who all were attacked and bound by vines. Is the only Evil Dead film to not feature the 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale vehicle. On the show "Extra Vision" director Lee Cronin shared that the name of the building the movie takes place in. The "Monde" is an anagram of Demon. In the beginning of the movie, Teresa reads the novel Wuthering Heights while Jessica lies on the bed before her. While Teresa continues to read the lines, Jessica hijacks in-between and starts speaking aloud what Teressa read. She starts with a normal tone which changes to demonic voice with the sentence "let me in." This is analogous to the first film 'The Evil Dead (1981)' by Sam Raimi as how the first deadite was introduced. While Linda and Shelly play the game of 'spades', Cheryl intervenes in-between and starts calling out the correct cards in order without looking at them. Before calling out the last card, her voice had already changed to demonic. "Although there's no Oldsmobile Delta [in the movie], the chainsaw in the movie is exactly the same colour as the Oldsmobile Delta." -Lee Cronin, referring to Sam Raimi's yellow car "Easter egg" that has appeared in all of the Evil Dead films to date (as well as many other of Raimi's films) Mark Mitchinson (Mr. Fonda) also appeared in Ash vs Evil Dead as Crosby, the leader of a militia that Ash's crew crosses paths with. This is the last film to feature the 2021 variant of the opening Warner Bros./New Line Cinema logo consisting of both the blue WB shield and silver New Line Cinema logo. It is also the last time both logos appear together before the split and New Line Cinema's revival. Kassie's friend Staffani is an obtuse throwback to the dagger with a skull as its handle in The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II. It is used as optimistically by our protagonists and is equally ineffective. The second Evil Dead film that doesn't have Bruce Campbell as a main character. Mark Mitchinson (which is acting like Mr. Fonda) are also the voice of the priest (Marcus Littleton) in the Book of The Dead recordings in the movie. Lily Sullivan based Beth's accent on Milla Jovovich The novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë is featured in the film's opening minutes. This is the second horror film within the year to reference a Brontë sister novel, as Jane Eyre was briefly shown in Barbarian (2022). When the films title card appears you can see it also reflected by the lake below. The sound of Ellie biting out a man's eyeball in the hallway is actually an audio recording of Bruce Campbell furiously biting into an apple. Bruce Campbell cameo: In the first of the three records Danny plays, Bruce can be heard saying "Destroy it! It's called the Book of the Dead for a reason!" At the Beyond Fest premiere, director Lee Cronin suggested Campbell could be playing Ash again in the recording as the series has had multiple instances of Ash going back in time and encountering the Naturom Demonto / Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. In a homage to previous Evil Dead films, Ellie is possessed in an elevator that restrains her by violently wrapping electrical wires around her arms, legs, and neck in a manner similar to how trees and branches restrained Cheryl, Bobby Joe, and Mia from The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987), and Evil Dead (2013) respectively when they were possessed Beth saying "Come get some" to the demon creature while holding a chainsaw is an homage to Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) saying the same line while holding a shotgun in the S-Mart ending of Army of Darkness, the final film of the original Evil Dead Trilogy. Director Lee Cronin confirmed online that the cat seen and heard in the vents of the apartment complex does in fact survive the events of the film The deadites make a few references to previous films in their dialogue. They say everyone will be "Dead by Dawn" and Ellie tells Beth "I'll swallow your soul" One of the lines being played on the record states that "3 volumes of the book" exist. 1st volume: The original Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell, 2nd volume: 2013 remake, 3rd volume: Evil Dead Rise. Thus, this makes the whole series canon. The main three deadites of the film all have different eye colors. Ellie has glowing silver eyes, Bridget has golden yellow and Danny has pupil less white. Whilst Ellie's eye color is unique to her deadite, Bridget's is a reference to the 2013 Remake and their deadites (which all had yellow eyes) whilst Danny is a reference to the original deadites, who all had white eyes. The scene in the elevator where the blood starts to fill behind the lit buttons mirrors the scene in the original when the projector begins to fill with blood. During the hallway attack Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) bites off the eye of one of the residents and spit it to the mouth of another. This action is very similar to a scene in Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn (1987). The tree surgeon truck is named "Fonda's", possibly as a nod to Bridget Fonda who appeared as Ash's girlfriend in the opening flashback scene in Army of Darkness. Aside from the obvious tide of blood coming from the elevator, there are other references to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980). At the beginning of the movie there is a fast flight through the woods just like the one used in the original Evil Dead movies and serie to symbolize the movement of the demonic entities. In one moment it flies over a lake, very similar to the beginning of The Shining. Later, when Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) is left outside the apartment, Beth (Lily Sullivan) is holding the entrance door very similar to how Jack Nicholson does it when Shelley Duvall locks him up in the pantry. The same shot from bottom to top is used. Unlike the previous films, which are all set in a cabin in the woods, this installment takes place in the city, with a protagonist other than Ashley Williams. Beth, as well as David from the 2013 remake of Evil Dead, are the only protagonists to not lose a hand in the fight against Evil. The color of the chainsaw used in the final act of the film is yellow unlike the standard red colored one used in every Evil Dead film When Beth and Kassie fall from the elevator through the river of blood, Beth tries to wake up Kassie as Steve tried to wake up his daughter Carol Anne in the movie Poltergeist (1982)

[@kirAthshiAue]

The director for the 2013 movie confirmed that it's not a remake, so Ash and Mia could be in a future Evil Dead movie. I think they said they want to make more Evil Dead movies.

[@VampireJack10]

It can all fit when you take the TV show into consideration with the whole time travel angle. Remember after Ash relives the ED2 timeline there is a scene where a woman discovers the book; she could possibly be the girl from the beginning of Evil Dead. I know it doesn't fit 100% but with the tangled canon of the other movies it can work.

[@WoahLookAtThatFreak]

It'd be a nice closing chapter for Evil Dead. Have all the characters and storylines, including those of the Ash vs Evil Dead series, all converge for one final showstopping finale. That could be fun.

People were even saying it was more disturbing that Terrifier 2 so I was expecting A LOT 😂 It was just ok to me. I’ve never been a huge Evil Dead fan anyway but I did really enjoy the 2013 movie. I have to agree that it was very random and all over the place and rushed and messy. Shoutout to Fern though, need her as a guest in your videos more often she’s a natural!!!!

[@andyshouldbewriting]

It's not as good as 2013 but it's fun and gory. The foreshadowing ruined it for me. Too much of it!Also when I saw it at cinema I fully didn't understand the first person camera in the parking lot at the end. Like how was it still there? I assumed the cat from the vent was attacking which would've been the most hilariously camp way to end this. Like I know it'd be dumb but I wanted that cat to attack so bad 😂

[@Okaypions]

You’re actually correct. I think most people are just okay with mediocrity these days so they just go for the main evil dead points. But the characters are dimensional, story is weak it basically just hits those plot points one after another and then it’s over. The 2013 movie is 10 times better than this newer one

[@carmelbeatty9342]

I literally saw what was the whole movie in the trailer...

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I was on the fence about the gore in this one. They hyped up that cheese grater, even tweeting images of the grater and putting it on a poster..but it was one swipe down the leg and it wasn't even that damaging. However, the ending kinda made up for it even though I wish they showed more of the creature instead of hiding in the dark. I'm guessing it didn;t look very convincing so they just kept it in shadows. The overall final act was good, though. I agree about the writing, it wasnt that great. The dmons didn't have that classic Evil Dead feel to them. They weren't evil enough, not witty enough...IDK, they were just off. I liked the building itself, I thought it looked pretty cool but I think it was underutilized. 3/4 of the movie happened in the single apartment. Like you, I didn't hate it and will likely watch it again. I just wanted a bit more. I'm hoping the fact that it brought in a ton of money will allow them to hire a better director and cast for the next one.

[@Hunt3rsDr3am]

This movie really didn't do it for me. It's so crazy to see so many people love it so much! The cinematography was gorgeous, and the sound engineering was great as well, but the writing and characters were SO bad. I didn't care for them AT ALL. The gore was another huge disappointment for me. Yeah, there was a lot of blood, but it wasn't gruesome, it was just a lot of blood and that's it. It didn't make me squirm or want to look away, just bleh. Blood. Boring. With the children, it felt like a Goosebump movie trying to imitate Evil Dead. It's actually a breath of fresh air to hear opinions that are close to mine, I was starting to feel like a fish out of water with this one haha.

[@lasertaster]

Just got to watch this film, and immediately came to check out your review. Could not agree more with these thoughts. The writing of this film was so bad that the action felt more of a “look at this shock factor, don’t pay attention to anything else.” Love the format with Ryan and Fern also there throwing their ideas out, Fern definitely had some great points :D

[@aurenfaie0808]

I really wasn't a fan of the movie. The same as you two, I definitely went in with high expectations and was pretty disappointed. I'd probably give it a 2.5 out of 5, as well. There were scenes and moments that I liked, a lot of things I didn't like, but overall I just wasn't a big fan. Not to mention I feel like they showed way too many of the really good scenes in the trailer, so there was really nothing left for me to look forward to? I will say that one of my favorite moments was when the younger daughter introduced her doll head on a stick friend and referred to her as "Staffanie" I laughed my ass off at that 😂😂

[@ishitstars]

I really liked the movie, but I do also agree with a lot of what you guys said. It felt to rushed. Felt like there were a ton of random people thrown in there with zero character development just to kill off. Also didn’t really get the flex of killing a bunch of kids in this one lol. Felt like there was also some untapped potential. They definitely should have made it longer. I do like though how it just got right into things in the beginning and was mostly non stop from start to finish.
