Haven’t we had enough of franchise movies that have become the shell of their former selves? With the recent decline of MCU and DC, it’s worth wondering if franchises are dying an unpleasant death. That said, we are willing to cash in all our chips on ‘Evil Dead Rise,’ the fifth installment in the ‘Evil Dead’ franchise.
The latest installment takes the ancient horror to a city setting as a new generation discovers the Necronomicon. Lee Cronin’s take is a harrowing tale of a reunion of two sisters (Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland) interrupted when the house is possessed with demons, forcing everyone into a battle for survival.
