Evil Dead Rise, this year’s best horror film

Fans of the Evil Dead franchise have waited ten years for another film to be added to the series, with Evil Dead Rise already being called this year’s best horror film.

Evil Dead Rise takes the franchise from the woods and into the city (though there is a traditional Evil Dead moment at the beginning of the film) and sees Beth (Lily Sullivan) reunite with her estranged sister Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) and her three children. However, in this film the sisters’ reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a battle for survival.

The film provides a shocking, gory horror experience, with stars Alyssa and Lily revealing to Yahoo Lifestyle that it was actually an incredibly fun process making the film.

“It’s such an intense like – with all the in-house camera tricks, all the prosthetics, everything being such like, handmade craftsmanship, it was kind of like, you’re super exposed, it’s like no spookiness,” Lily tells us about behind-the-scenes of the film. “It’s kind of this epic, fun, collaborative explosion of different departments. You’re more laughing!”
