Evil Dead Rise 2023 Dual Audio Hindi
%20lmovie%20review.jpg)
A woman returns to visit her sister, hoping to sort out her own troubled life. However, after a powerful earthquake shakes the area, one of the sister’s children stumbles upon a mysterious underground vault. Inside, they find an old book and a collection of vinyl records. This unsettling discovery sets off a series of chilling events, as they unknowingly unlock a force they cannot control.
Let’s get this out of the way: the original Evil Dead trilogy remains one of my all-time favorite horror franchises, with Army of Darkness being my personal favorite. I’ve even been known to drop a quote from it now and again! If the series had ended with Army of Darkness, I would have been perfectly content. While I’m aware of the Ash vs Evil Dead series, I never got around to watching it, which seems to be a theme for me with television these days.
When the 2013 Evil Dead remake came along, I enjoyed it but didn’t feel it was necessary. The original is a classic, and I often question the logic behind remaking something so beloved. That said, the remake was still well-crafted and delivered a solid horror experience.
When I first heard about Evil Dead Rise and its premise, strangely, it didn’t remind me of the previous Evil Dead films at all. Instead, I thought of Demons II, the 1986 horror film directed by Lamberto Bava and produced by Dario Argento. But Evil Dead Rise isn’t a remake; it’s more of a reimagining or a reboot, injecting new blood (quite literally) into the franchise. Written and directed by Lee Cronin—whose previous work, The Hole in the Ground (2019), was a slow-burn, eerie horror film—this choice of filmmaker might seem unusual for such a gory franchise. However, Cronin excels at character-driven stories, and that’s where Evil Dead Rise really shines.
Cronin’s focus on the two sisters, Beth and Ellie, mirrors the family dynamics seen in The Hole in the Ground. There are unresolved tensions between them, and these relationships are given room to breathe before the horror takes over. After an opening that nods to the cabin horrors of the earlier Evil Dead films, Cronin takes his time to develop the characters before unleashing mayhem upon them.
And when the horror begins, it’s a no-holds-barred assault on the senses. The amount of blood, gore, and sheer terror is almost gleeful in its intensity. The Evil Dead franchise has never shied away from visceral, in-your-face carnage, and this film is no exception. Cronin introduces some fresh, brutal moments, including a scene with a cheese grater that will make even the toughest horror fans wince. Expect dismemberments, shotgun blasts, and, of course, the return of the iconic chainsaw.
The cast throws themselves into the madness with wild enthusiasm. Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland, who play the sisters Beth and Ellie, are particularly impressive, as are Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, and Nell Fisher, who portray the children. Even the minor characters in the apartment complex hold their own, though we don’t get to know them as well.
Visually, the film is stunning, with excellent production design and sound that amplify the terror. Stephen McKeon’s score complements the film’s pacing, and the practical effects, enhanced at times by CGI, are very well executed.
There’s little to complain about here. Evil Dead Rise moves at a relentless pace, packing a lot into its 97-minute runtime without feeling rushed. While it’s more serious in tone than the original trilogy, the film still offers plenty of callbacks and familiar lines, enough to make any fan of the series smile. Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Rob Tapert—the masterminds behind the originals—should be proud of this continuation.
In the end, Evil Dead Rise is a fantastic addition to the franchise. It’s bloody, brutal, and fun in all the best ways. If this film is a sign of where the series is heading, I’m eagerly awaiting what comes next.
