Post Production On EVIL DEAD RISE Well Underway Heralding "The Year Of The Deadite!"
2022 has a slew of Evil Dead fun heading our way. With the announcement of an Evil Dead game as well as a new film in the franchise after a 10yr hiatus entitled Evil Dead Rise, fans are as eager as ever for a little bit of the “boom stick.”
Director Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise is going straight to HBO MAX for release and as of this writing we don’t have a set date for that.
Director Lee Cronin reveals over on Twitter today that the post-production process is well underway.
“New Year, same intense cut! Deeper into the timeline we go on #EvilDeadRise,” Cronin tweets. He goes on to call this year “The Year of the Deadite.” You’re damn skippy it is!

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