Evil Dead Rise (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) [4K UHD]

It's still a 5 star horror movie for me personally, and I love it, but it doesn't feel like an Evil Dead movie. It's not that it doesn't take place at the cabin because neither did Army of Darkness and that's definitely an Evil Dead movie. It's not the lack of gore, demonic possession, or body horror either, because they're all present and executed wonderfully. But I think I figured it out. It's the weakness of the taunts from the Deadites. Sure, they're still personal and meant to be hurtful, but they're not absolutely vile like the taunts in the rest of the movies in the franchise. It's probably because they decided to use child actors. The kids did a great job, but I can see from a writing perspective how you probably wouldn't want to tell a child that their mother is being ra**d in hell, even if it is all make-believe. But even with the heavily toned down dialogue, there's a lot to love about this movie. Plus, the ending opens the door for the continuation of the franchise and that makes me happy. It's nice to see modern remakes of a beloved franchise that don't make a mockery of the originals, something that's very rare these days.

One of the best horror sequels to one of the best horror remakes ever.

Who doesn't love the Evil Dead franchise? The first Evil Dead is definitely one of the greatest horror films of all time, Evil Dead 2 is pretty good with a nice mix of horror and comedy, Army of Darkness is a neat fantasy adventure with some funny slapstick, and the remake is awesomely underrated and in my opinion is one of the best remakes ever. There was also that show Ash vs. Evil Dead that was pretty good, but kind of fizzled out near the end. I was a little hesitant when I heard there was going to be a new movie, mainly because they don't specify where this one takes place in the franchise. Is it in the main Evil Dead universe of the remake's? But I was won over when I saw the trailer for it, well admittedly the second trailer. So the movie itself is actually pretty good, despite weirdly beginning with an opening stinger that takes place a day after the events of the main film with characters who don't contribute in any way to the plot of said film. The beginning is kind of a slog through until the mother becomes possessed. The acting is decent and the characters are kind of one note, but the actress who plays the mom Ellie terrifyingly steals the show when she becomes a Deadite. This movie goes really insane and gory with some good practical effects (sure there's some CGI) and some creepy scares, but I could've gone without the sharp music stings every time there's a jump scare or whenever a Deadite makes a slight move. They did miss an opportunity to have this creepy Jesus statue in the movie come to life but I digress. Overall this movie is pretty good. It definitely hits a lot of the Evil Dead vibes, and I was thoroughly surprised to find out that Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell where executive producers for the movie so that gives it some bonus points. It's probably not the best, but it's still pretty groovy.

One of the best adaptations of the original trilogy, EVIL DEAD RISE, now comes with special features released by arrow making its predecessor release version bland and unwanted.

Case was cracked, but DVD was not damaged. Good movie.

"Evil Dead Rise" was released theatrically on April 21, 2023, grossing $147 million worldwide against a production of $15-$19 million. It was written and directed by Lee Cronin starring Lily Sullivan & Alyssa Sutherland. It is the fifth film in the long running Evil Dead series. Critical response was very positive overall. While I liked "Evil Dead Rise" when I initially saw it back in 2023, I also thought that it didn't feel like an Evil Dead film despite all of the expected ingredients that you would expect to see in a film from that series. I then realized via interviews with the producers is that this is exactly what they wanted with this film was to take the series in a fresh direction. Subsequent viewings increased my appreciation for the film and I think that everyone involved knocked it out of the park. It is gruesome, gory, tense and darkly funny in spots. The acting is very strong from the entire cast and the sound design is on point as well. Warner Brothers first brought "Evil Dead Rise" to 4K back in 2023 in a bare bones HDR10 only release. They would then reissue it shortly thereafter in a steelbook release that added a commentary track but the steelbook release was also HDR10 only and still pretty barebones. Arrow Video came to the rescue providing the film a lavish 4K limited edition release that adds Dolby Vision in addition to the previous HDR10 grading in the prior 4K release. While the HDR10 grading looks terrific, the addition of Dolby Vision kicks things up a notch with even more inky black levels and contrast which helps as this a very dark from from a cinematography sense. The film is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.39:1. I also noticed that the Arrow Video 4K release has better encoding with a higher bit rate than the Warner Brothers 4K. Audio is presented in the lriginal DTS-HD MA 5.1 and Dolby Atmos audio options. English subtitles are included for the hearing impaired. The audio options mirror the prior 4K release. Where the Arrow Video 4K release excels is regarding the special features which are substantial with the prior commentary track being carried over. The full list of extras included with the Arrow Video release are as follows: - Audio commentary with director Lee Cronin and actors Alyssa Sullivan and Lily Sullivan • "Come Get Some", a brand new interview with actor Lily Sullivan • "Mommy Deadite", a brand new interview with actor Alyssa Sutherland • "The Deadite's Daughter", a brand new interview with actor Gabrielle Echols • "The Levitating Dead", a brand new interview with actor Anna-Maree Thomas • "Conjuring Deadites", a brand new interview with special make-up effects designer Luke Polti • "Chopping Up Deadites", a brand new interview with editor Bryan Shaw • "Sonic Possessions", a brand new interview with sound designer Peter Albrechtsen • "Music to Swallow Your Soul", a brand new interview with composer Stephen McKeon • "The Sound of Evil Dead Rise", a 2023 interview with Cronin and Albrechtsen by Glenn Kiser, director of the Dolby Institute • "Raising a New Evil Dead" featurette • "Ghost Train", a 2013 short film directed by Lee Cronin • Behind-the-scenes video clips and still gallery • Concept artwork gallery • Storyboard gallery • Trailer and TV spots • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Waldemar Witt • Double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Waldemar Witt • Collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by Michael Gingold So if you are a fan of the film, the superb Arrow Video limited edition 4K is worth picking up purely for the extras with the addition of Dolby Vision being nice as well. Well worth the double dip and highly recommend!

This was an incredible production... Especially as a remake. Very compelling and scary it is a must to buy for my collection.

Es una gran película con gore y con momentos destacables, además del cameo de voz de Bruce Campbell.

Not for the squeamish. A bit tongue n cheek & rather well done

Increíble!!

This is, by far, the most scariest and most entertaining new Horror Movie. It is more frightening than Terrifier and I want to stand and applaud and salute the all-female cast. I felt so sorry and sad for the first victim, namely the elder of the two sisters. The entire movie is full of good scenes. I love the beginning when the first possessed begins to quote Wuthering Heights and comes out to take over the others' souls. I also loved when the eldest sister comes back from the lift and tries to get back to normal, and enters the kitchen and smashes eggs into the pan and flies out of the bathtub onto the ceiling and crawls around on and the walls. I love when the family merge into one. It is the Evil Book of the Undead that is playing, through the chants on the record. For me, the best performance goes to the eldest sister. I really cry for her because she is the mother of those children and she even says as she enters, in whispers, "It...it's not me." but is overpowered and how the younger sister tries to bring her back and cries for her. A true loving family wrecked by those evil dead spirits. The best Horror Film I have ever seen in my life. I have my own book coming out this Halloween and now feel so proud to have written stories like this particular one.
