Evil Dead is a reunion between two estranged sisters that gets cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons. Fighting a primal battle for survival, they face the most nightmarish version of family.
Evil Dead Rise was pretty much everything I wanted from a new Evil Dead movie, 97 minutes of dreadful action with gory creative kills.
Evil Dead Rise even adds a cool new wrinkle to the abilities that I hope future sequels will expand on this was a great entry to one of my favorite franchises of all time.

An exiled, anxiety-ridden girl must battle an alien who’s found its way into her home. The blend of extraterrestrial terror and home invasion horror works and this movie felt super fresh and original.
There’s almost no dialogue in the entire film but instead of feeling gimmicky, it makes you feel as isolated as the main character Brenn who’s been ostracized by the people in town throughout the movie.
It feels like she’s all alone up against this otherworldly threat and most of the film is carried by her powerful silent performance.
