About this deal

In 1981 Director Sam Raimi essentially created a genre of film – the horror movie…with a comedic twist. This genre has been played out, but films like the original Evil Dead movies, An American Werewolf in London and so on – all embraced it. Fans of Raimi’s Evil Dead films no doubt know the excitement of watching the hero as he battles the forces of evil – with a chainsaw for a hand. But those films had their time and with 1993’s Army of Darkness, it might be argued that these came to an end. But no, thank you Hollywood, you’ll never let anything die and we got a new chapter in 2013 as well as a television series. And now we’ve got Evil Dead Rise, a film that shares the same name as the aforementioned titles but…that’s about it. Was it worth the wait? Is it more of the same? Or is this just yet another excuse to cash in on an already overdone genre with a familiar title? could argue that it doesn't help us care about the affected family, but I'd argue that wouldn't have helped much.) Viewers will feel an uncanny

appearance of what you'll see on a properly-calibrated 4K/HDR setup, rest assured that Warner Bros.' UHD does a fine job with what can only be Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? And so Lee Cronin’s fifth entry starts off exactly where you would expect it – in a cabin. In the woods. And its one of his few stumbles in an otherwise brilliantly propulsive, claustrophobic and brilliantly bloody take on the classic Deadites. While there’s nothing wrong per se with the cold open here – it feels VERY Sam Raimi both in terms of its execution and its unbridled glee at the bodily carnage being meted out - it’s a clunky plot beat that actually bears no real link to the main story. While obviously a clear nod to Deadites past, it feels too much like a safety blanket, almost as unsure as some of its audience in the upcoming change of scenery and it contributes to the film’s only real issue – it’s pacing in the first act. Armed with a full-bodied Dolby Atmos mix, Evil Dead Rise goes all-in on its oppressive sonic atmosphere during critical moments, heightening Book of the Dead's discovery to the absolute terror that arrives in its wake. A handful of creative sonic touches dot the landscape, from

Fine detail comes and goes by design... but it all falls within appropriate boundaries depending on the lighting and visual body, she's violent towards her family, briefly comatose, and soon awakens in a ghastly new physical form, ready to unleash all manner of revenge knowledge of its lore to enjoy or understand. Nonetheless, this blood-soaked exercise in claustrophobic horror feels like it achieves a decent balance less you think about it, the better; it's not very well-acted, effective, or even relative to most of the story, and I damn sure hope it ain't the twist around the frequently wide sound stage. Other moments, such as a climactic showdown in the apartment's parking garage (where one

Evil Dead Rise does a number of things extremely well once its oddball opener is out of the way, not the least of which is its overall mood cinematography, effective music and sound design, and a running time that doesn't wear out its welcome once it gets going.
