“You’d be a good mom someday, Auntie Beth. You know how to lie to kids.”
In 1981, visionary director Sam Raimi unleashed The Evil Dead and changed horror forever. This tentpole franchise not only popularized the “cabin in the woods” subgenre but remains one of the most creative and bloody sagas in the genre’s history. We first meet the Kandarian Demon in the remote woods, attacking Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his ill-fated friends. But the evil dead know no bounds and cannot be contained by geographic location. Lee Cronin’s 2023 sequel Evil Dead Rise sees the Necronomicon reemerge from the bowels of an LA high rise. Rather than a group of college coeds (and some medieval knights), this Kandarian iteration squares off against an unsuspecting mom and her likeable family. It’s the perfect film for Horror Movie Mothers Day as the terrifying deadites bring gory destruction instead of chocolates and a corsage.

Hey there! If you’re reading this, you must still be around, and I’m glad to see it. These are the films that entranced me the most with their visions of movie magic; I couldn’t get to everything , but I saw what I saw, and that’s that. (Time seems to be set on permanent acceleration these days.)
It was another great year for horror, and judging by this alphabetical, 100% accurate and objective list, one teeming with variety; from Beau is Afraid’s bone-dry hilarious foray into existential Mothering, to Stuart Gordon-inspired Skinamax bodyswapping (Suitable Flesh), and straight tributes (Thanksgiving).
Here are a few of my favorite horror things from the year two thousand and twenty-three:
Beau Is Afraid:
Look, I get it: Ari Aster’s work is very much lump it or leave it. Hereditary and Midsommar are big, ambitious films that instantly found favor...

The new Evil Dead film has possessed audiences. The Sam Raimi-produced film is scaring audiences in the best way possible. This time the action has moved from an isolated cabin in the middle of the forest to an apartment building in a heavily populated area. What kind of havoc will the evil Necronomicon unleash upon an unsuspecting public? With this being the fifth film in the Evil Dead franchise, that means that it is full of easter eggs and references to other films in the shared universe. What Evil Dead Rise easter eggs did we find?

Evil Dead Rise doesn’t do anything to reinvent the wheel or try anything too groundbreaking but reminds us how fun an Evil Dead film can be. It takes us back into the world and shows the horrors of demonic possession, keeping the blood thirty delights of the original. It may be nothing new, but Evil Dead Rise is another good entrance into the world that Sami Raimi built 42 years ago.
This time around the cabin in the woods is swapped for an apartment block in LA. The premise almost remains the same, however. You find a book bound in human flesh and open it, what’s the worst that can happen? Well, that’s exactly what the characters here find out. Three siblings living with their single mother (Alyssa Sutherland) discover a...

Where does the time go? We’re now halfway through 2023, so you know the drill. It’s time to reflect on the year so far with a look at the best horror movies released in 2023… so far.
This summer’s only getting warmed up for horror releases, and the Halloween season ensures a packed Fall to come. So far, though, 2023 offers no shortage of horror gems that run the gamut from highly anticipated sequels to genre-benders and viral sensations.
As a refresher and to ensure great movies don’t fall through the cracks, here are the ten best horror movies released in the first half of 2023…
Huesera: The Bone Woman
When so many pregnancy horror movies isolate the mother-to-be, breeding mistrust from everyone around her, Huesera internalizes it. Refreshingly, it’s less about motherhood and more about the loss of self. Director Michelle Garza Cervera, who co-wrote with Abia Castillo,...

And now that those physical media copies have been secured, let’s celebrate by checking out some behind-the-scenes images of the creature known as The Marauder that have been shared by the monster designers at Odd Studio!
If you haven’t watched Evil Dead Rise yet, beware Spoilers.
If you have already watched Evil Dead Rise, you know that – as of the end of the film draws near – several of the Deadites merge together into one multi-limbed creature. This blend of Deadites was called The Marauder, and Odd Studio has shared some images of the design:

Directed by Lee Cronin, Evil Dead Rise is out now on 4K, Blu-ray and Digital, as well as streaming on Max, this year’s box office hit now available for everyone to watch at home. If you haven’t yet gotten the chance, however, you might want to skip this particular article.
This is your Spoiler Warning…
The final act of Evil Dead Rise gives birth to The Marauder, a brand new supervillain in the world of The Evil Dead. Essentially, The Marauder is an entire family unit blended together to form a monstrous and murderous beast, a big swing for the franchise that feels a bit more Resident Evil than it does Evil Dead. We’ll call the film’s final act… Resident Evil Dead.
In Evil Dead Rise, mom Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) and kids Bridget (Gabrielle Echols) and Danny (Morgan Davies) all become Deadites, the three quite literally...

Lee Cronin’s brand new installment Evil Dead Rise just slashed its way onto Max over the weekend, but it’s not the only film in the Evil Dead saga that you can stream on Max right now.
In fact, All Five Films in the Evil Dead franchise are now streaming on Max, which makes Max – formerly HBO Max – the Only place you can stream the entire bloody saga!
The franchise of course includes…
The Evil Dead (1981) Evil Dead II (1987) Army of Darkness (1993) Evil Dead (2013) Evil Dead Rise (2023)
It all began with Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead, the original horror classic that introduced the world to Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) and the Deadites he would go on to spend his entire life battling. After being forced to massacre his friends in the woods, Campbell’s Ash returned for Evil Dead II in 1987, a sequel that brought horror-comedy insanity to the forefront.

Evil Dead Rise (read our review Here) already received its digital release in the US and is available from Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, and Vudu. You can find it on Amazon at This Link. The physical media release will follow on June 27th – and by the time that date arrives, it will already be available to watch on the Max streaming service. Collider reports that Evil Dead Rise is set to reach Max on June 23rd.
Evil Dead Rise was once intended to go straight to Max, but it scored so well at test screenings that it earned a theatrical release. That release was quite successful, as the film racked up over $100 million at the global box office.

Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, “Evil Dead Rise” tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sullivan and Sutherland, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.

His curiosity leads him to play the LP records found with the book, with devastating results. Alyssa Sutherland’s performance as Ellie was truly phenomenal when she becomes possessed by a demon. She carries the film that feels familiar yet fresh, as we see a different side to the Evil Dead franchise. It has easily become my favourite, even beating the original The Evil Dead (1981). The cinematography is effective and makes the film feel even more brilliant – drawing the audience in and providing a dizzying effect that is very realistic. One of my favourite moments is a homage to The Shining (1980), one of the greatest supernatural horror films of all time. You’ll have...

"Evil Dead Rise" is a wild cinematic experience. As our own Jacob Hall wrote in his review out of SXSW, "While certainly darker than Raimi's films, this is, like them, a hyper-violent tour through a nightmarish funhouse that pauses only to show off something gnarly enough that you can only scream or laugh." After the remake delivered an unhinged, cruel, unfunny film, "Evil Dead Rise" knows when to dial up the joy and the fun, while also being rather bleak and scary.
Lee Cronin's "Evil Dead Rise" stars Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland in two star-making roles, with a story that takes the franchise out of the woods and into the big city. But now the film is headed somewhere else — home.

Evil Dead Rise (read our review right Here), a movie that was once intended to go straight to the HBO Max (now simply known as Max) streaming service, reached theatres on April 21st, and it looks like it’s going to be receiving a digital release on May 9th. (That’s what Microsoft is promising.) Before we reach that date, the official Evil Dead Twitter account has sent out a tweet celebrating the fact that Evil Dead Rise has now earned over $100 million at the global box office!
That’s a great accomplishment for a movie that cost under $20 million, and it reached that number in just three weeks. The previous Evil Dead movie, released in 2013, didn’t reach $100 million during its theatrical run, falling just short at $99,010,045.

Bruce Campbell has taken to Twitter this afternoon to thank Evil Dead fans for making Evil Dead Rise a smash hit in theaters, the film officially passing $100 million worldwide!
Evil Dead Rise is now officially the highest grossing film in the entire Evil Dead franchise, with Evil Dead 2013’s box office total ending at $97.5 million (unadjusted for inflation).
With a budget of just $19 million, Evil Dead Rise is needless to say a massive success, and it surely won’t be very long before the franchise finds its way back into theaters. We had to wait a full 10 years between Evil Dead and Evil Dead Rise. Expect a shorter wait this time around.
The best aspect of this success story? As you may recall, Evil Dead Rise was at one point in time going straight-to-hbo Max. New Line/WB sure dodged a bullet with that one.

In just three weeks of theatrical release, Evil Dead Rise (read our review right Here), a movie that was once intended to go straight to the HBO Max (now simply known as Max) streaming service, has racked up almost $100 million at the worldwide box office. To celebrate his film’s success, writer/director Lee Cronin has taken to social media to share a look at some Evil Dead Rise concept art. You can take a look at the artwork at the bottom of this article.
Evil Dead franchise creator Sam Raimi handpicked Cronin to write and direct a new Evil Dead movie after seeing his feature directorial debut The Hole in the Ground. The story Cronin crafted for Evil Dead Rise has the following synopsis: 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.

Writer/Director Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise presented several buzzworthy Evil Dead moments and set pieces, including the title card that arrives just as a Deadite rises from the lake. All of it, of course, by meticulous design as evidenced by the film’s stunning concept art.
Cronin took to Twitter today to share some of the concept art for the new entry in the Evil Dead franchise.
The filmmaker said, “Nothing on screen in #EvilDeadRise happened by accident. It took meticulous planning with an incredible group of talented people. And concept art was the entry point into our world. Here’s a little taste.”

The Evil Dead series might be the greatest argument against literacy the movies have ever produced. Each film drops its protagonists into a series of bloody horrors that could have easily been avoided had they just never opened a book. The latest entry, Evil Dead Rise, adds vinyl to the list of cursed physical media, but switches out the franchise’s remote cabin in the woods for a high-rise apartment building. The changes mesh well with the franchise’s simple formula, reinvigorating a series that has lasted much longer than Michiganders Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell probably expected 40 years ago.
Raimi and Campbell serve as executive producers for Evil Dead Rise, similar to their roles with Fede Alvarez’s 2013 Evil Dead remake. But where Alvarez’s film seemed intent on proving that it could be the most deadly serious horror movie ever, in its best moments, Evil Dead Rise captures...

Illumination and Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie is checking off another notable milestone.
The Nintendo video game adaptation will cross $1 billion at the worldwide box office sometime on Sunday, its 26th day in release. It becomes only the 10th animated film to achieve the feat, and the first animated movie to do since pre-pandemic times.
In North America, Super Mario’s projected weekend gross is $40 million from 4,204 theaters for a domestic tally of $490 million through Sunday. Its projected weekend overseas haul is $68.3 million for a foreign cume of $532.5 million.
The movie has shattered any number of records, including ranking as the highest-grossing animated film in Universal history at the domestic box office after besting Minions: The Rise of Gru ($369.7 million) and the third-highest of any Universal movie behind Jurassic World and E.T. The Extraterrestrial, not adjusted for inflation.

This post contains spoilers for "Evil Dead Rise," as well as discussions of sexual assault.
The influence that the "Evil Dead" franchise has had on horror cannot be understated. What originally started off as a low-budget, DIY film among friends turned into a cult franchise, arguably helping to position the genre as one of flexibility and ingenuity. That doesn't necessarily mean that every aspect of the franchise is worth celebrating. Even if the 1981 original was a watershed moment for independent horror filmmaking, its pivotal scene showing how Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss) is possessed after a brutal rape by tree branches has been the topic of controversy for decades. As much as the film was heralded for its practical effects and seemingly-effortless genre-bending, it was also rightfully criticized for its depiction of misogynistic sexual violence, just another horror movie that seemingly used real pain for "cheap" scares.

The following contains major spoilers for Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise (2023).
Of the many horror franchises, few are as creatively violent as The Evil Dead. Sam Raimi’s 1981 original garnered an Nc-17 rating for “substantial horror violence and gore” and Stephen King described the low-budget indie as “the most ferociously original horror film of the year.” The film follows Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), his sister, and three friends as they travel to a cabin in the remote woods and accidentally summon demons with an incantation from the Book of the Dead.
In 2013, Fede Alvarez directed the fourth franchise installation, Evil Dead, a remake/sequel following Mia (Jane Levy), her brother, and three friends in a similarly doomed cabin. Ten years later, the Deadites have returned to the big screen with Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise which tells a stand-alone story about a similar Book of the Dead. Found...

[Editor’s note: This story contains major spoilers for “Evil Dead Rise.”]
No one in the Evil Dead universe keeps plans like Jessica.
You know, Jessica: the sun hat-clad bookend to Lee Cronin’s splatter-ific “Evil Dead Rise,” played by Anna-Maree Thomas. The character appears possessed in the film’s prologue, kicking off the vicious city-slicking sequel as its first Deadite with a gruesome scalping and decapitation scene set at a remote lake cabin.
“That was key thing from the get-go because I had this idea that I wanted to bring you to a familiar place, but also kind of tease you and show you that I’d subvert your expectations,” Cronin told IndieWire of the film’s opening vignette in a spoiler-heavy conversation via Zoom. “Then we set it in the city, so once I’d made that up I was like, ‘Well, I need a reason to do [the cabin scenes]. I need to be motivated somehow.’ And that’s what gave me the idea.

Evil Dead Rise, the fifth installment of the horror series, opened in second place in the domestic box office this past weekend, pulling in an impressive $23.5 million, and $40 million worldwide, which would suggest there’s more boom left in the franchise boomstick.
And though writer/director Lee Cronin says he “was never trying to bait for sequels,” he nonetheless sets up a few story ideas should he return to the world of deadites and Necronomicon created in 1981 by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, who starred as Ashley J. Williams.
In a recent episode of Den of Geek‘s paranormal pop culture show Talking Strange, Cronin — as well as stars Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan — spoke to host Aaron Sagers about the film’s ending and what happens immediately following that scene.

Every character in the new movie is named after a past Evil Dead star!

Evil Dead Rise doesn’t do anything to reinvent the wheel or try anything too groundbreaking but reminds us how fun an Evil Dead film can be. It takes us back into the world and shows the horrors of demonic possession, keeping the blood thirty delights of the original. It may be nothing new, but Evil Dead Rise is another good entrance into the world that Sami Raimi built 42 years ago.
This time around the cabin in the woods is swapped for an apartment block in LA. The premise almost remains the same, however. You find a book bound in human flesh and open it, what’s the worst that can happen? Well, that’s exactly what the characters here find out.

This time around the cabin in the woods is swapped for an apartment block in LA. The premise almost remains the same, however. You find a book bound in human flesh and open it, what’s the worst that can happen? Well, that’s exactly what the characters here find out. Three siblings living with their single mother (Alyssa Sutherland) discover a...

Contains spoilers for "Evil Dead Rise"
The "Evil Dead" franchise is amorphous. Sam Raimi's original "The Evil Dead" was a touchstone genre masterpiece, though its follow-up, "Evil Dead II," is still hotly debated. Is it a remake or a sequel? There are the bonkers yet sensational "Army of Darkness," a television series (gone too soon), and Fede Álvarez's slick 2013 remake. Now, there's Lee Cronin's "Evil Dead Rise," which shifts the action from the woods to a Loa Angeles apartment building. No two "Evil Dead" movies are alike. Each is a gruesome springboard for new filmmakers to try their hand at Deadite mayhem.
They are some of the greatest scary movies ever made and arguably the most consistent franchise in horror history. Unlike several other recent remakes (including David Gordon Green's "Halloween" trilogy or the two new "Scream" entries), "Evil Dead" isn't bound to a strict chronology.

The “Evil Dead” franchise returns 10 years after the re-imagined “Evil Dead” of 2013, which holds the record for the most amount of fake blood used in a horror film. While it doesn’t seem like the new film went down the same path, although it is still very bloody, “Evil Dead Rise” is a family drama under all the blood and gore about staying in touch, not lying to, and cherishing your family. Yes, it’s an interesting premise for demonic possession that can’t be exorcised or destroyed. The Necronomicon has found new life and a new appearance in the latest “Evil Dead.” Let’s understand the lead characters of the new horror film and the final girls’ journey forward.
Spoilers Ahead
Ellie, The Mother
Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) is the mother of three kids and recently separated from her husband. The three of them live in an apartment in LA.

There looks to be no end in sight to the massive run Universal’s animated “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” has been having.
This past weekend, it won its third weekend at the box office in a row, while also crossing $400 million. It made another $58.2 million (down 37%) over the weekend, potentially helped by the fact that the song “Peaches,” performed by Jack Black as the evil King Koopa Bowser, landed on the Billboard Hot 100 – a first for Black! – with 15 million streams on Spotify. That pushed the movie’s domestic total to $434.3 million, which is better than all but two movies released in 2022. (It will pass last year’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” in the next day or so.)
“Super Mario Bros.” made another $70.7 million overseas this weekend, which brings its international total to $437.5 million with an $871.8 million global total.

When 2013's "Evil Dead" debuted, critics and horror fans weren't on the same page of "The Necronomicon." Some revolted against its addiction recovery storyline, offended that Fede Alvarez's film remade the zany Bruce Campbell-starring horror comedy franchise into something grisly and somber. Others thought the film's dark themes and its fresh blood unlocked a thrilling new dimension for the Deadites (and viewers) to explore. Of course, these opposing views revived the debate that has always haunted the franchise: What counts as an Evil Dead movie?
However, most failed to realize Alvarez wasn't rewriting anything within the world of Sam Raimi's demons. Given the era his film came out, when the aughts flooded the horror scene with remake after remake, it's understandable why many assumed "Evil Dead" fell into this bloated category. However, In 2018, Alvarez confirmed his film is a sequel,...

This article contains Evil Dead Rise spoilers.
In 1982, Sam Raimi’s innocently titled The Evil Dead attempted to cross the Atlantic and find greener pastures in UK cinemas. What the movie instead discovered was the humorlessness of the British Board of Film Classification. There the film’s lurid imagery of possessed flesh being obliterated by axes, chainsaws, and even a tree branch in one especially grotesque sequence, was perceived as the very definition of obscene.
To receive an “X” rating in the UK, Raimi and company eventually agreed to shave off 49 seconds of grossness. That fight would be small potatoes though when compared to what happened after the National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Organization, a pro-censorship group, got their hands on the VHS. Practically off the back of Evil Dead alone, the Video Recordings Act was passed in ‘84. The Evil Dead’s UK videotapes were removed from circulation until a further...
