Evil Dead Rise Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

 



Evil Dead fans the franchise that just won't die is now finally back with a new film a whopping TEN years after the last one. What sets this film apart tho is the fact that it tries to do something new and different but with the film being sandwiched between The Super Mario Bros Movie and John Wick Chapter 4 only time will tell if this film makes money at the box office and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE of the film that sees a classic franchise return from the dead with the film in question being called simply just "Evil Dead Rise" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a single mother becomes possessed it's up to her sister and three children to try and defeat the evil inside of her once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really refreshing and was something that we havn't seen in this franchise at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this film is Lily Sullivan as Beth , The Devil Wears Prada star Alyssa Sutherland as Ellie and One Piece star Morgan Davies as Danny Also starring in this film is Gabrielle Echols as Bridget , Nell Fisher as Kassie , Richard Crouchley as Caleb , Mirabai Pease as Teresa , Anna-Maree Thomas as Jessica , Power Rangers Dino Fury star Noah Paul as Bruce , Jayden Daniels as Gabriel , Billy Reynolds-McCarthy as Jake and Tai Wano as Scott.

Now then interms of I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films cast being made up of mostly unknown actors. Which means that the acting won't be that good but to this films credit the cast really do make the most of what very little is given to them to work with.



Doing the CGI for this film is Cause and FX , Odd Studio and the legends and the greats that are currently over at SSVFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but you can still tell where they used CGI which did take me out of the movie.
 


This film does something that's fairly new for this franchise and that's have the main bulk of the film take place in a new location. With the main bulk of the film taking place in a High Rise building which is such a cool idea however the film doesn't really take full advantage of it as we don't get to see that many people that live their and we don't get to see alot of the carnage that a deadite could create in a building like that which is a shame because it would have made the movie just all the more cooler and more scarier and creepier to see.

As is to be expected with this franchise this film has a ton of gore so much so that I had a hard to time finding images that I could use because alot of them had a ton of gore in them. I really did like that this film had a ton of gore in it because that's one of the things that this franchise is famous for and with a ton gore it also makes the film oddly comedic as there's alot of gore that it becomes cartoonish at just how much gore is seen on screen however tho even I liked that this film had a ton of gore I would have liked if they toned it down a bit just so they could focus more on the characters and making the characters fully three dimensional characters.


Like I just said this film doesn't really make it's characters three dimensional characters which was something that I really hated. As it gave me no reason to like or even care for these characters where as if you contrast that with the other films in this franchise your given reasons to like and to care for those characters and yet for some reason this film just doesn't do that and so when these characters die your not feeling scared for them or sad for the your just left feeling nothing all of which is because of the fact that the characters appear really as nothing more then cardboard cutouts and really nothing more then that.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and fifty five seconds. Which is a bit on the short side for a film like this one to last as you very easily could have gotten this film up to two hours just by expanding on the story and with that running time you'd then have the time needed to fully flesh out your characters and make us the audience actually care for your characters something which this film just can't do with it's current running time but I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then since this is a horror film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film were in all honesty really awesome. With this film having some very gory and some very over the top kills all of which were really creepy and were also really creative as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this is a really good film but at the same time it didn't really scary me as much as the 2013 film still does but this film is still a really fun film to watch and it should please any die hard Evil Dead fan as it's that good of a film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Evil Dead fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
