In 2023, director Lee Cronin logged the fifth and most recent installment in one of the best horror franchises, the Evil Dead film series, when Evil Dead Rise hit theaters. The terrifyingly bloody standalone movie started streaming on Hulu on September 1st. Expanding upon the lore of the Necronomicon, Evil Dead Rise centers around estranged sisters Beth and Ellie, whose reunion is cut short and transforms into a blood-soaked fight for survival when the flesh-possessing Deadites descend on an L.A. apartment building. Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols, and Nell Fisher star.

Why You Should Watch Evil Dead Rise

Evil Dead Rise is a solid sequel and a strong blood-soaked continuation of the Evil Dead franchise. The movie packs the established horror and mythology of Sam Raimiโ€™s film series, along with some callbacks to previous films, with a new setting and new characters to offer a fresh start to the franchise. With no shortage of blood, scares, and inventive kills, Evil Dead Rise is one of the most terrifying entries in the franchise to date and endlessly fun to watch with intense action sequences that take place in a claustrophobic setting.

Evil Dead Rise helped reaffirm Evil Deadโ€™s lasting popularity. The movie was both a critical and box office success, with its $147 million worldwide haul making it the highest-grossing Evil Dead film. It also delivered a solid critical and audience consensus and is โ€œCertified Freshโ€ on Rotten Tomatoes with an 85% criticsโ€™ score and 76% audience rating. Those numbers make it the fourth-highest-rated title in the franchise. The film is now streaming on Hulu as the Evil Dead franchise prepares to further expand its reach with a spinoff currently in development. Evil Dead Burn, directed by Sรฉbastien Vaniฤek, is set to hit theaters next year and is described as a standalone spinoff.
