Evil Dead Rise (2023)
Moving Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise out of the woods and into the city, Evil Dead Rise tells the twisted tale of two estranged sisters 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.
The highest-grossing film of the series, Evil Dead Rise was nominated for Best Horror Movie at the 2024 Critics Choice Super Awards, where it was also up for Best Actress in a Horror Movie and Best Villain (both for Alyssa Sutherland, aka Vikings’ Queen Aslaug).
Evil Dead Rise has an 84% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Standard raving: “This scary movie, as well as being fantastically violent and jolting, is profoundly amusing and full of soul.”
