The Evil Dead franchise is back to life not only with Evil Dead: The Game, now available, but also with new movie Evil Dead Rise, which is now set to debut in theaters early next year.
Evil Dead Rise will release IN THEATERS on April 21, 2023! This is a big change over at Warner Bros, as the new movie had previously been set to go direct to HBO Max this year.
This is an incredible show of confidence from Warner Bros., and recent test screenings have indeed suggested that Evil Dead Rise is a winner. Stay tuned for more as we learn it!
Here’s the official plot synopsis for director Lee Cronin‘s 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.”
Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End) and Nell Fisher (Splendid Isolation) will star in the new movie alongside Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan.
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.
