ICYMI: Bloody Image For 'EVIL DEAD RISE' Shows Off A New BOOMSTICK!

The Evil Dead franchise will be returning to the big screen soon thanks to director Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground) and EVIL DEAD RISE, which is set for an April 21, 2023 release.

Our friends over at EMPIRE got their hands on a new image from the film and if you were worried there wouldn’t be that much gore in this flick, the picture (seen above) is sure to ease that doubt.

Teasing Evil Dead Rise, Lee Cronin tells Empire: “It straps you onto a rocket that’s fueled by blood. You can either get off or you stay on ’til it explodes.”

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

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.”

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.

Campbell, however, will NOT be appearing in the film as Ash Williams. Evil Dead Rise will instead be a brand new movie with brand new characters and a brand new storyline.
