The latest installment in the iconic horror franchise, Evil Dead Rise (2023), successfully shifts the series' focus from a remote cabin in the woods to a claustrophobic, condemned Los Angeles apartment building.
The film follows two estranged sisters, (Lily Sullivan) and Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland). Their reunion is interrupted when an earthquake reveals a hidden vault containing the Naturom Demonto (Book of the Dead). After Ellie’s son, Danny, discovers the book and plays 1923-era vinyl recordings of demonic incantations, Ellie becomes possessed by a "Deadite". This forces Beth and Ellie’s three children into a brutal struggle for survival as the ancient evil spreads throughout the apartment complex.
