Audience Says

Evil Dead Rise's intense horror and inventive gore help make up for a so-so story that downplays the franchise's signature humor.

Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Hanna Flint Time Out It's not for the faint-hearted but for long-time fans and horror nuts, just sit back and let the blood wash over you. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Joey Shapiro Chicago Reader The first sequel in a full decade, this should feel like getting an Evil Dead reunion, but instead it’s more akin to a so-so tribute band. Apr 26, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Evil Dead Rise provides blood by the bucketful without ever crossing the line into outright cruelty. Rated: 4/5 Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jorge Ignacio Castillo The Canadian Crew It’s thoroughly tense with genuine hair-raising moments. The movie only falters when it doubles down on the gore at the expense of character development: it wastes an opportunity to pursue more lasting unease as opposed to just temporary thrills. Rated: 3/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (5) David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Evil Dead Rise is certainly a throw back to the good old school style of horror and the result is a film that delivers what horror fans have been calling out for – good old-fashioned gore within a creative story. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …whatever this used to be, it’s deader than dead now… Rated: 1/5 Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Not as nail biting as the first. Sloppy editing but I've come to expect it from a shock horror film (jump film). During those few truly jumpy scenes is where the film shined.
