October horror movie #23:

Evil Dead Rise. I give it 4/5. I didn't think I'd like it, but was gladly proven wrong. I do wish we had gotten a proper sequel to the 2013 film, but this took away my disappointment with how good it was. (some spoilers below)

Likes: opening scene with huge title card, the location surprising me with its creepiness, how surprisingly gory it was, the impressive amount of fake blood used, the actors (especially the younger ones) playing their characters so well but also playing very convincing deadites (with prosthetics, physically demanding scenes, etc.), how much fun the cast seemed like they were having in behind the scenes videos (they were also treated very well and encouraged to really go for it), the blood elevator scene and fight in the garage towards the end, the new approach that still paid tribute to older Evil Dead movies

Dislikes: the various plots being a bit confusing at the beginning, not as many Easter Eggs or references, pacing being a bit weird until things really popped off, such young characters being gruesomely murdered and disfigured (I do think the young actors were incredible though and I do see why this was necessary in this particular movie. No one is safe and deadites are merciless)

Not gonna lie, I think part of the reason why I was so disappointed in “Evil Dead Rise” is that I’ve seen some relatively good horror movies recently that actually had protagonists that behaved realistically. Just to name an example, in the movie “Nope”, when Daniel Kaluuya’s character was confronted by the three fake aliens at night, his first instincts were:

1) to run away

2) to pull his phone out at a safe distance in order to record what was happening, just in case someone called bullshit on his story

3) to punch the first fake alien that got too close to him.

Meanwhile, “Evil Dead Rise” starts out with this character who can’t tell that there’s some demonic shit going on with her cousin. And this was after:

1) the cousin’s voice started getting all deep and distorted for no reason

2) the cousin was somehow reading a book that they weren’t even looking at

3) the cousin going from lying on the bed, ill, to sitting up straight like nothing happened

It’s a horror trope that characters are stupid, but sometimes, I feel writers take that trope WAY too far. And honestly, I feel that horror movies should have more characters that are actually thinking critically because it makes the movie even more tense. It makes the monsters look competent and doesn’t annoy the audience who just want the characters to use common sense.

This week Everything was set, all who were going were ready and so we went to see Evil Dead Rise and boy were those Dead Evil lol

Now in all seriousness I personally am not a big fan of the Evil Dead franchise I have seen the original trilogy and have it on DVD. We went to see the 2013 remake, I read some of the comics and watched the first season of the TV show (I plan to watch the rest at some point) but anyway with all that its not really one of my favorite things. Its more of a "friends" thing like I know ppl who think its the greatest thing and I take part in it becasue they like it. I kinda see it like Zombie stuff I'm not a huge fan of Zombies and it takes alot for me to get interested in that but I'll watch Zombie stuff to make certain friends happy. So with that I wasn't really super interested in going to see this but I went anyway. and it was an alright movie I can say it was very wet and gooey and plenty of sticky bloody messes everywhere lol there was plenty of gore and and grossness but it was so over the top at times that it felt kinda silly in away

As for the story you kinda start at the end of the movie first like the opening sequence is kind of like an epilogue in the grand scheme of the entire story but after that it does a "the day before" type of thing so the entire movie takes place all in one night. It follows a Mother and her 3 kids as they are packing up and getting ready to move becasue the apartment building where they live s being torn down at the end of the month. During the night a storm is raining heavy as the Mother's Sister shows up for a visit. During this the Mother sends the kids out to get a Pizza and on their way back an earthquake happens which opens a hole in the parking garage to a hidden chamber where one of the kids goes in and finds a book "Bound in Human Flesh and penned in Blood" and of course does the stupid thing and takes it home along with some old vinyl records and then while home they are messing with it and open it and release the "Evil" turning their Mom into a Deadite and then she goes on to infect others turning them into one too and it is up to the the Aunt and the kids to stop it if they can..

Now I have to say The visuals and practical make-up and all that were all excellently done the production design on this was pretty amazing. The ripping of the girls scalp off around the first was kinda cool. and the weird monster things where all the Deadites merged into on creature was interesting also and that whole thing with the wood chipper was something.. lol and all the crazy stuff they had Alyssa Sutherland who plays the Mother Ellie do was pretty good but yeah It was all pretty crazy tho

Now I can say it wasn't really scary I didn't feel that it was I didn't jump at anything or feel scared at all it was all I just feel that it was all pretty wild and over the top. I did feel it was a little weird at times and like I said it was all very gooey and blood soaked I do feel that the acting was good and very intense and like I said Alyssa Sutherland who plays the Mother Ellie as soon as she get possessed she totally steals the show!! and everyone else did a great job too I think while filming this they probably had alot of laughs

but other then that it was an alright movie they did do some references to the original movies this one is suppose to have no ties to the originals but they do use some familiar lines and a chainsaw is involved lol but yeah like I said it was alright. If you like the Evil Dead series/franchise you might like this one.
