Evil Dead Rise Trailer Is Making Horror Fans Not Look at Cheese Graters the Same Way

January 4, 2023, 11:12pm

Earlier today came the first official trailer for Evil Dead Rise, the highly anticipated new chapter in horror franchise that will take things out of the woods and into the city. In addition to showing off the first footage from the fifth film in the series, the trailer offered fans a hint of the plot, and the naughty deeds that the Deadites will be getting into in the movie. Among the many gnarly and violent things that appear to be occurring is at least one very nasty bit with a cheese grater. Use your imagination as to what such a thing could do to the human body, because everyone on Twitter is losing their mind over it.

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. The new film stars Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher, Alyssa Sutherland, and Lily Sullivan, and is directed by Lee Cronin.

Why I don’t do horror

*points at the Evil Dead Rise trailer*

That folks is why I don't do horror. I'm freaked out by just that; the worst is yet to come yet obviously, so the fact the trailer had a scalping and a cheese grater used on a leg?! pic.twitter.com/IgABy80wfT

I NEED THIS MOVIE YESTERDAY!

Me watching Babylon: Well that’s a bit crass. Distasteful, really. Unnecessary even.

Me getting to the cheese grater bit of the Evil Dead Rise trailer: Oh shit! Oh fuck! [wincing, shivering] Yes! YESSSSSS! I NEED THIS MOVIE YESTERDAY!

And then the cheese grater appeared

I was extremely convinced that I would be able to handle the Evil Dead Rise trailer and then the cheese grater appeared and reader if you could have only heard the sounds that came out of my throat.

That's how you know it's good but also JFC!!!

made specifically for me

So far, EVIL DEAD RISE feels like it was made specifically for me in the way it comes from the TENET school of thought that you can make your kitchen fight 50% gnarlier if you throw a cheese grater in the mix pic.twitter.com/LcUUsu94ix
