I love the Evil Dead franchise, from the very first one to the 2013 remake, I love it… when I heard they made a new one earlier this year I just had to check it out, and boy… it is disgusting.

From the very first scene it’s pretty damn clear what road this film is going to take, there are so many great kills in just this scene alone, including with a drone and they’re all… so graphic, I mean I had to practically watch this opening scene through my fingers, like I said there is a limit for me when it comes too gore.

The next part is pretty much family drama, two sisters and three kids living in a rundown apartment complex in LA, one of the kids finds the infamous necronomicon bound and wrapped in skin after a earthquake strikes the complex they live in, one of the sisters becomes possessed by the deadites and terrorises everyone.

Now… and this is a big now, let’s take the 2013 remake, remember the gore and how gross it was, right well this Evil Dead takes that gore and ramps it up too eleven, pulling zero punches, it doesn’t hold back.

We see eyes bitten out, one poor bastard chokes on it after it’s spat directly in to his mouth, poor innocent children flung and smashed in to a wall and a guys throat slit so bad you can actually see his Adams Apple fall out, like I said it doesn’t hold back.

You’ll notice I’ve misspelt great in the title, no that’s not a spelling error don’t worry, it’s a reference to one particular scene that had every one talking, some poor woman gets a cheese grater dragged up her leg, let’s just say I’m not ever looking at a cheese grater the same way.

I do love however the reference to one of my favourite horror films which was The Shining, the scene where the blood gushes out of the lift, that was a terrific touch (I had the biggest grin on my face)

I am going to admit however I did watch half of this film through my fingers, as I have said before it takes the gore from the 2013 remake and ramps it up to eleven.

The kills are graphic and horrifying as we’ve seen in most Evil Dead films but enough about the gore, let’s talk about the Deadites.

They are bloody scary in this flick, they don’t possess and attack you no, they mock you, they insult you they are brilliant, some of the insults I had tears in my eyes at a few of them, mainly this one and I quote “open the door like you open your legs you stinking groupie slut” it was so off the cuff, so unexpected that I couldn’t hold my laugh in, I was crying with laughter it was that good.

Evil Dead Rise is brilliant, albeit a little too gory for my taste but being an evil dead film I can’t fault it, it’s a great entry in the franchise, it’s every thing an evil dead film has… gore, demons and more.

Although the decision making some of these characters make are… questionable to say the least, either way it’s a great horror flick, and I will give it a… 7/10 it’s scary, it’s gory… it’s Evil Dead you can’t fault it can you.

But as always… catch ya later
