I’ll swallow your soul!
While Sam Raimi’s camerawork is a staple of The Evil Dead films, the sound elements are the glue that takes everything to the next level, delivering the extra gross and scary.
Later this year, horror fans are in for a treat when HBO Max serves up a brand new tale of the Necronomicon with Evil Dead Rise, a spinoff sequel this time directed by The Hole in the Ground‘s Lee Cronin.
While a date has yet to be set, filming is completed and Cronin is hard at work editing the film where he’s continually teasing us hardcore fans on social media. The latest is a fun soundbite from outside of the editing suite where we can hear a little taste of the carnage that will consume a new family, this time trapped in an apartment building.
Check it out…

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.”
Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End) and Nell Fisher (Splendid Isolation) will star in the new movie alongside Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan.
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.
