Director Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground) brings the Evil Dead franchise back to the big screen on April 21, 2023 with new movie Evil Dead Rise, and another new tease has arrived.
Empire shares the exclusive new image from Evil Dead Rise that you’ll find below, and it spotlights two of the franchise’s most iconic elements: a boomstick and a whole lot of blood!
Teasing Evil Dead Rise, Lee Cronin tells Empire: “It straps you onto a rocket that’s fueled by blood. You can either get off or you stay on ’til it explodes.”
Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End) and Nell Fisher (Splendid Isolation) will star in the new movie alongside Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan.
Here’s the official plot synopsis for Evil Dead Rise…
“In the fifth Evil Dead film, a road-weary Beth pays an overdue visit to her older sister Ellie, who is raising three kids on her own in a cramped L.A apartment. The sisters’ reunion is cut short by the discovery of a mysterious book deep in the bowels of Ellie’s building, giving rise to flesh-possessing demons, and thrusting Beth into a primal battle for survival as she is faced with the most nightmarish version of motherhood imaginable.”
Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Robert Tapert are producing Evil Dead Rise. According to Campbell, the three have been “very involved” in the project every step of the way.
Campbell, however, will NOT be appearing in the film as Ash Williams. Evil Dead Rise will instead be a brand new movie with brand new characters and a brand new storyline.
