Evil Dead Rise Reviews
David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment
Evil Dead Rise is certainly a throw back to the good old school style of horror and the result is a film that delivers what horror fans have been calling out for – good old-fashioned gore within a creative story.

Evil Dead Rise is sleekly modern, emotionally gripping, and absolutely brutal, gory and appalling, but still fun. Cronin goes there and goes all the way.

If you'd told me and my friends as we were watching that grainy Thorn EMI Evil Dead videotape that not only would the franchise continue into the 21st century, but it'd actually be thriving, we'd have pelted you with Cool Ranch Doritos.

The action in Lee Cronin’s film moves from the ubiquitous cabin in the woods to an urban setting without losing any of the blood, guts, gore or giggles along the way

Evil Dead Rise packs everything I love about Evil Dead: Grotesque kills blended together with dark humor. I loved every minute of it.

It did a thing that a lot of franchises that get rezooted don't get to do. Which is have fun while also nodding to the past. Because a lot of them get stuck nodding.

Evil Dead Rise is as perfect of an Evil Dead movie you can get in todays climate. A definite improvement over the 2013 re-imagining.

It's a strong entry in a strong franchise. I hope Raimi does the next one.

Evil Dead Rise makes an already-solid horror franchise even stronger and introduces fresh, demented nightmares to the psyche. As the blood flows, the fun seems to have only begun.

Just go with the flow and you’ll be rewarded with one of the most sanguinary and gory films in the whole franchise.

Evil Dead Rise left me wanting more Surely an awesome time in a lot of ways! specifically the third act which goes HARD, but a lot of the film just didn’t give me that magic feeling that the rest of the franchise has

While Evil Dead Rise definitely knows the series it's in, it's no mere exercise in blasting expected targets.

Ryan Oquiza Rappler
Evil Dead Rise retains just enough of the core elements from the original, a touch of the extravagant excess from the previous one, and an over-the-top, devil-may-care attitude that would make PG-13 horror films look like kids' movies

Evil Dead Rise doesn’t necessarily add anything new or exciting to the formula, but it does deliver the bloody chaos that fans have come to expect from the franchise.

Evil Dead Rise doesn’t add much that’s new to the franchise, but it does deliver on entertainment.

Noah Berlatsky Everything is Horrible (Substack)
Ten great minutes followed by an hour and a half of moderate thrills doesn't exactly a must-see film make. Still, it's interesting to see the franchise's magic so perfectly encapsulated, and then immediately tossed away.

The biggest problem with Evil Dead Rise is that it’s critically missing the sense of fun that powered the original trilogy.
