Evil Dead Rise plot

Lee Cronin wrote the script for Evil Dead Rise, with Warner Bros. providing this as the synopsis for the movie:

"Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, Evil Dead Rise tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sutherland and Sullivan, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable."

Evil Dead Rise reviews — what the critics are saying

This new chapter in the Evil Dead franchise is a good entry, according to critics. The movie is officially "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, with a score of 88% as of April 21.

Here is a sampling of what the critics are saying:

Andy Klein, AV Club: "Evil Dead Rises [sic] marks a welcome return to the seamless blend of humor and genuine scares and creepiness that Raimi created 42 years ago."

Perri Nemiroff, YouTube: "Evil Dead continues to be one of the most consistent horror franchises we have. Lee Cronin & co. could not have understood the assignment any better."

Jason Bailey, The Playlist: "A viewer's experience depends disproportionately on their personal expectation of what an Evil Dead movie should be."
