Evil Dead Rise [DVD]

What a great film, completely caught me by surprise. I was genuinely terrified during this film and loved it!

One of the most fun horror movies I have watched, has no slow parts and has good jump moments

Good item 👍

As expected

I'll start by saying this film is fine. If 1/10 is awful, 10/10, is perfect, 5/10 is average, this is a solid 5 or 6/10. It has the spirit and inspiration of the Raimi films, but relies a little too heavily on CGI for my liking, but hey, apparently that's cheaper than practical effects these days. Even though it looks worse as CGI artists are under increasingly stupid deadlines and decreasing wages as Hollywood seems intent on imploding under it's own grandiosity, there's enough body horror in here that looks realistic to make it a squirmy watch. I can't really fault any of the actors in this film, everyone does what they need to and several are a joy to watch. It's shot very competently, the colour palette is fittingly unnerving, and the score, while not hugely memorable, supported the action really well. My main complaint was that this film could just have been... better... All of the individual ingredients are "fine," good even, but somehow the result is just that, fine. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this film, I watched it 3 times in my rental period, but somehow it just didn't wow me. It just seems to lack that self aware Raimi magic. It didn't need more gore, that was fine. It didn't need more charismatic actors, they were good, most, really good. It didn't need better music, at times it was great. It didn't need better cinematography, it was bloody nice at times. But it still felt hollow somehow... Please, horror fans, watch this with a beer and some friends, it's fun. But when compared to the original Evil Dead films it's a pale comparison, but a bloody try. It's a good watch, but the Evil Dead name carries certain expectations, and this is a good attempt - would I have enjoyed it more without the name attached? Maybe. My criticisms would be the same, I think I just expect a bit more with the Evil Dead name attached. But hey, Hollywood in general is on the decline these days, big budget films are losing money, let's hope that smaller films like this start to gain some more traction. Rent it, watch it, enjoy it. it's completely "fine."

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Looks and sounds great in 4k and Atmos. I have the nasty 2013 'Evil Dead' version and will upgrade to this format too (if available). Love a decent nasty.

This is, by far, the most scariest and most entertaining new Horror Movie. It is more frightening than Terrifier and I want to stand and applaud and salute the all-female cast. I felt so sorry and sad for the first victim, namely the elder of the two sisters. The entire movie is full of good scenes. I love the beginning when the first possessed begins to quote Wuthering Heights and comes out to take over the others' souls. I also loved when the eldest sister comes back from the lift and tries to get back to normal, and enters the kitchen and smashes eggs into the pan and flies out of the bathtub onto the ceiling and crawls around on and the walls. I love when the family merge into one. It is the Evil Book of the Undead that is playing, through the chants on the record. For me, the best performance goes to the eldest sister. I really cry for her because she is the mother of those children and she even says as she enters, in whispers, "It...it's not me." but is overpowered and how the younger sister tries to bring her back and cries for her. A true loving family wrecked by those evil dead spirits. The best Horror Film I have ever seen in my life. I have my own book coming out this Halloween and now feel so proud to have written stories like this particular one.

👍

belle édition tant au niveau image que son ; le film est aussi une bonne surprise ; je recommande

Es una gran película con gore y con momentos destacables, además del cameo de voz de Bruce Campbell.

Muy buena, sangrienta y gore como todas las de Evil Dead

One of the best horror movies of 2023 and their remergence of the Evil Dead franchise with very little CGI, really good story and good cast, gave me a good scare even for the 2023 horror film, this movie gave me a 1980s feel of that era which is good because I'm a big '80s fan of horror films. The item was exactly what it was when it was delivered out of the package new I will keep it.

...wäre unfair, denn der Film ist nicht schlecht, sofern man das Genre mag. Hab ihn mir gestern angesehen und war eher enttäuscht, hatte mir mehr gewünscht/vorgestellt - mehr im Sinne von "Evil Dead". Heute nochmal Revue passieren lassen und ich geb doch 4 Sterne anstatt 3. Warum ist das so? Ich versuch es mal Spoilerfrei: Ich bin ne Art Die Hard Fan der ersten Teile und habe diese damals noch auf VHS geschaut - und ich bin halt hoffnungsloser Nostalgiker. Wenn man sich mit der Entstehungsgeschichte des ersten Teils befasst, wächst einem der Film noch wärmer ans Herz - dieser hier lässt mich kalt und erinnert *fast* an die non-Stop Effekthascherei der neueren Hollywood-Streifen. Ja, es gibt dezente Verweise auf die Ursprünge von Evil Dead - sei es die Kettensäge am Ende oder auch eingestreute Zitate und auch, ja, das Necronomicon Ex Mortis und eine abgespielte Tonaufnahme. Trotzdem fehlt die 'Liebe' (?) in der Produktion - keine Ahnung wie ichs ausdrücken soll - die mir an den ersten so gefallen hat. Einiges fühlt sich komisch an, bspw. die Entdeckung des Buches - und ich werde auch demnächst vermehrt auf <Anit-Spoiler-Bot hat Name entfernt> in Tiefgaragen achten. Ein vorheriger Rezensent hat die ersten Teile, wahrscheinlich augenzwinkernd, "Müll" genannt - völlig korrekt, irgendwie war es schon Trashkino, aber das hat es sympathisch gemacht. War keine Hochglanzproduktion, und ich fand und finde das immer noch gut. Erinnert sich noch jemand an die alten Troma Filme? :D DAS war Trash par execlence und auch die waren schlicht Kult. Er ist blutig, hat Ekelmomente, am Ende eine kurze Sequenz, die mich eher an Zombiestreifen erinnert (ja, das Genre mag ich auch, kein Abzug) - aber für mich ists kein Evil Dead, sorry. Vermute ist "zu viel" des Guten. Der Netflix-Ableger vom TCM hat das Problem, meiner Meinung nach, auch (die Szene im Bus bspw. - absolut übertrieben und unfreiwillig lustig, bezogen auf die SmartPhone-Generation) - aber fängt die Reihe trotzdem besser ein. Aber: wenn ich den Filmtitel ignoriere und unvoreingenommen an den Film herangehe, bin ich durchaus positiv gestimmt. Der Cast ist gut, die Effekte ebenfalls und grundsätzlich ist der Film einfach düster - passt für mich. Anfangs- und Endsequenz ergeben Sinn und ich mag diese zunächst subtilen Bezüge, die sich später auflösen. Gibt bestimmt einen zweiten Teil und auch den werde ich sicher wieder kaufen :) Wenns wirklich so kommt, blende ich die ersten Filme gedanklich einfach aus, dann wirds auch sicher ein super Abend beim schauen.
