Synopsis

Three siblings find an ancient vinyl that gives birth to bloodthirsty demons that run amok in a Los Angeles apartment building and thrusts them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.

Storyline

In this story, siblings Teresa and Jessica, along with Jessica's boyfriend Caleb, are vacationing at a lakeside cabin when a seemingly sick Jessica scalps Teresa and decapitates Caleb before levitating above the lake. Meanwhile, guitar technician Beth visits her sister Ellie, a tattoo artist and single mother to teenagers Danny and Bridget, and child Kassie, in their condemned Los Angeles apartment complex. The building is shaken by an earthquake, and Danny discovers a concealed chamber. The priest's research in secret leads to the summoning of demonic entities known as Deadites.

Ellie is possessed by an unseen force, and her family is left to protect her children. Ellie's neighbors help her escape, but they find the staircase collapsed, the elevator is damaged, and they are unable to access the fire escape. Ellie tricks Kassie into unlocking the door before attacking her. Bridget becomes possessed from her wound, and Beth and Kassie impale her through the head with a broken broom handle.

Ellie, Bridget, and Danny merge into a multi-limbed creature known as the Marauder, which attacks the siblings. The combined weight causes the elevator to plummet to the ground floor, allowing Beth and Kassie to flee into the parking lot. Ellie's severed head taunts Beth, who kicks Ellie's head into a wood chipper. Beth and Kassie escape the building together.

"Evil Dead Rise" resurrects the horror franchise with a ferocious intensity and a fresh perspective, delivering a visceral experience that both honors its roots and ventures into new territory. Directed by Lee Cronin, this latest installment in the "Evil Dead" series reinvigorates the genre with its relentless energy and grotesque creativity.

The film departs from the iconic cabin-in-the-woods setting and relocates the terror to a dilapidated high-rise apartment building, a choice that adds a claustrophobic edge to the horror. The story centers around Beth (Lily Sullivan), a struggling musician who visits her estranged sister Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) and her children. What begins as a familial reunion quickly devolves into a nightmarish ordeal when the discovery of an ancient book unleashes a horde of demonic entities.

Cronin’s direction is masterful in crafting a film that is both visually arresting and unnervingly atmospheric. The high-rise setting creates a sense of isolation and entrapment that heightens the tension throughout the film. The cinematography is sharp and inventive, making excellent use of confined spaces to amplify the horror.

The special effects and makeup are truly standout elements. The film’s commitment to practical effects and elaborate makeup work creates some of the most grotesque and memorable imagery in recent horror cinema. The demonic transformations and gore are executed with a level of craftsmanship that enhances the overall dread and discomfort.

The performances, particularly by Sutherland, are another highlight. Her portrayal of Ellie, who becomes a terrifying vessel for the evil forces, is both haunting and compelling. Sullivan brings a strong presence to her role as Beth, grounding the film with emotional depth amidst the chaos.

"Evil Dead Rise" also excels in its pacing and tension. The film expertly balances moments of quiet suspense with explosive bursts of horror, maintaining a relentless pace that keeps viewers on edge. The narrative may follow familiar tropes, but it does so with enough originality and ferocity to stand out in the crowded field of horror.

In summary, "Evil Dead Rise" is a triumphant return to form for the franchise, delivering a fresh yet faithful iteration of the beloved series. It’s a relentless, gory, and thoroughly entertaining horror film that will satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers alike. If you're looking for a film that will make your skin crawl and your heart race, this one is a must-see.
