Evil Dead Rise (Lee Cronin, April 21, 2023) Movie • Page 6

Where was this?

 

I didn’t really like this. Thought pretty much all of the acting was bad. Every character was under-reacting to every insane thing going on

Last bit, from hallway/elevator scene to the end, was good, but I spend the first 2/3rds of this movie not having a good time at all.

 

Ok well wait, Staffanie was good

 

I’m gonna see this again this weekend, now that I know what I expect, and I hope I like it more. My expectations have been way too high for it because ED2013 is legitimately one of my favorite movies. Ha so the expectations were definitely unfairly high for this new one.

 

I was waiting for a cool creepy scene of them trying to get down those stairs somehow. I feel like I would've tried some trapeze nonsense before that elevator but I probably would've fallen to my death.

Enjoyed the movie. The 2013 one was just special so I didn't go in with expectations this would be on par and looked at it as it's own entity which I enjoyed. Altho as with every evil dead movie I'm like "whhhhy are you doing that????!!! Stop!!" Which is always stressful but fun. Wouldn't be evil dead without it lol

 

On the recording, when the preacher talks about reading the book, you hear someone yell “They call it The Book of The Dead for a reason.” That’s Bruce.

 

Josh...

 

I’m not happy about it either. My friend I saw it with that has 2 kids and goes to the movies like 3 times a year said “I wish we’d gone to see Mario”

 

Had a blast with this. Exactly what I want from an Evil Dead movie.

 

The title card shot was also iconic I'd love that as a poster

 

Yeah I loved that shot

 

Hell yeah this kicked ass!

 

Just got out from this. The opening 5 minutes was good. The rest I didn’t like at all. I enjoy the first 2 evil deads and the remake (never seen army of darkness), but this film just wasn’t fun or spooky. I didn’t care for the characters, the kills, or the setting being in an apartment building. Overall I’d give it like a 4/10.

 

never seen any of the evil dead movies and this was fucking awesome. loved every minute.

 

I’d recommend watching 2013, then the original trilogy in order! You have a lot of fun ahead of you

 

Yeah, this was so sick

 

Man, I'm so excited for you lol seconding @sawhney[rusted]2 's recommendation

 

this absolutely slapped. completely relentless from start to finish. the cabin fakeout to apartment building setting is the perfect way to subtly reinvent ED without losing all the magic. Ellie might be the scariest deadite ever

 

I can't be the only motherfucker who was biting back the urge to yell "the blood usually gets off at the second floor" during that elevator finale right

 

There are some funny layers to The Long Goodbye version of Dance Yrself Clean being the last song played on the turntable.

 

Starting Ash Vs Evil Dead. This show is absolutely perfect.

 

Had a very good time at the movies. Didn’t find this one as spooky as 2013, but the comedy felt a lot more natural. The thing where Beth stabs Ellie with the screwdriver, cut to Beth just being absolutely ejected through the door was a great laugh. I’m glad this movie was comfortable enough to do stuff like that. It was also fun how more of the Deadites had personalities as opposed to just the “main” one. It’s always felt jarring in 2013 how taunting/animated Mia is when everyone else just kinda slumps around and twitches lol

Use of the turntable to read off the words was really creative, and also how the hallway essentially functioned as the basement mechanic. The kids were all awesome too — wish we’d gotten more Deadite Danny, he was the creepiest one. The title card was incredible

“Dead by dawn” thing didn’t really work for me. Only other dumb little dork nitpick that bothered me is how Beth was able to get around the power outage by soldering some wires in the turntable? Not how that works lol

Very excited to watch this again in the fall

 

Also maybe this is just for my Mr. Robot heads but does Lily Sullivan weirdly remind anyone else of Rami Malek? Not familiar with any of her other work. But some of her line deliveries and facial expressions here felt like a dead ringer

 

I did not make that connection at all but thinking about it now I kinda see it? they both underplay lines in a way that really contributes to the tension of a scene instead of defusing it. really enjoyed her performance her either way

re the deadite thing, I think this movie understood how to make the deadites effective more than anything since... the original maybe. making them just possessed bodies really misses out on the ability to taunt/psychologically fuck with the other characters. it's that personal touch that really makes them unique villains that I really found missing from 2013, largely because the characters not called Mia in that movie were insanely boring
