Just in time for my much anticipated (in my head) return to my site due to a bereavement break, the PR people at Warners have released the trailer for Evil Dead Rise, and it’s dark folks. And to that I say hooray, that’s a happy word – right? Anyway, take a look…

Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, “Evil Dead Rise” tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sutherland and Sullivan, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.

New Line Cinema and Renaissance Pictures present a return to the iconic horror franchise, “Evil Dead Rise,” from writer/director Lee Cronin (“The Hole in the Ground”). The movie stars Lily Sullivan (“I Met a Girl,” “Barkskins”), Alyssa Sutherland (“The Mist,” “Vikings”), Morgan Davies (“Storm Boy,” “The End”), Gabrielle Echols (“Reminiscence”) and introducing Nell Fisher (“Northspur”).

Ok, whoever edited this trailer, I give you a Chef’s kiss, because I am excited. At first I have to admit I was thinking who asked for a new entry into the Evil Dead franchise, but the trailer did the thing.

Evil Dead Rise is set to open in theaters in North America on April 21, 2023 and internationally beginning 19 April 2023.
