Director Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground) brings the Evil Dead franchise back to the big screen on April 21, 2023 with new movie Evil Dead Rise, and the first footage has been unleashed by producer Bruce Campbell himself today. You can check out the short but scary teaser below, and we’re being promised that the full trailer arrives tomorrow, January 4, 2023!
Campbell teases ahead of the video footage, “Now I’ve seen the movie and all of its glory and in case you’re wondering, yes it is amazing… and yes, it is the scariest one yet.”
Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End) and Nell Fisher (Splendid Isolation) will star in the new movie alongside Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan.
Here’s the official plot synopsis for Evil Dead Rise…
“In the fifth Evil Dead film, a road-weary Beth pays an overdue visit to her older sister Ellie, who is raising three kids on her own in a cramped L.A apartment. The sisters’ reunion is cut short by the discovery of a mysterious book deep in the bowels of Ellie’s building, giving rise to flesh-possessing demons, and thrusting Beth into a primal battle for survival as she is faced with the most nightmarish version of motherhood imaginable.”
Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Robert Tapert are producing Evil Dead Rise. According to Campbell, the three have been “very involved” in the project every step of the way.
Campbell, however, will NOT be appearing in the film as Ash Williams. Evil Dead Rise will instead be a brand new movie with brand new characters and a brand new storyline.
