Full Movie Synopsis Evil Dead Rise (2023)
Evil Dead Rise is an American supernatural horror film that is the fifth series of the franchise Evil Dead the legendary one, created by Sam Raimi. Directed and written by Lee Cronin, the film presents a new, stand-alone story, separate from previous stories in the franchise, with an urban setting different from the typical forest cabin of previous series. Starring Lily Sullivan as Beth and Alyssa Sutherland as Ellie, the film offers intense gore horror, a gripping atmosphere, and psychological tension that tests family bonds. Here is the complete synopsis of Evil Dead Rise without big spoilers, but still detailed to give an overall picture.
Story Evil Dead Rise it centers on two long-separated sisters, Beth and Ellie, whose reunion turns into a nightmare after the presence of an evil force fueled by the ancient book, the Necronomicon. The Film is set in a cramped old apartment on the top floor of a building in Los Angeles, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere that amplifies the tension.
Ellie is a single mother raising her three children: Danny, Bridget, and Kassie. They live in a dilapidated apartment, and Ellie is preparing to move to a better place for the sake of her family's future. Their lives seem full of challenges, but still full of family warmth. Meanwhile, Beth, Ellie's free-spirited sister who works as a rock band technician, arrives in Los Angeles to visit her brother after a long absence. Beth's arrival was supposed to be a happy moment to rekindle their relationship, but fate said otherwise.
The horror story begins when a small earthquake shakes an apartment building, causing a hole in the basement floor of the parking lot. Danny, Ellie's curious son, discovers a hidden room under the building containing mysterious artifacts, including an ancient book known as the Necronomicon-The Book of the dead—and a vinyl record containing recordings of ancient spells. Although Bridget, Danny's older sister, warns him not to tamper with the objects, Danny's curiosity overpowers his common sense. He takes the book and the vinyl record to the apartment and, unaware of the consequences, plays the recording while opening the Necronomicon.
This action inadvertently frees the Deadites, evil spirits who have been locked up in the book for centuries. The Necronomicon, which contained spells and terrible images, became a gateway for supernatural forces thirsting for destruction. As the book opens, the Deadites begin to spread, and their first target is Ellie. This evil spirit possessed Ellie's body, turning her from a loving mother into a sinister and vile figure, threatening the lives of her own children and Beth.
The apartment, which was originally the refuge of a small family, turned into a terrible battleground. Beth, who initially only wanted to help her brother move, must now fight to survive and protect Ellie's three children from the terror of the increasingly aggressive Deadites. The situation was aggravated by the condition of the buildings damaged by the earthquake, cutting off access to the exits and trapping them inside. Deadites not only threaten physically with brutal violence, but also psychologically, taking advantage of emotional family ties to play a trick on their victims.
The story develops with ever-increasing tension as Beth, Danny, Bridget, and Kassie try to find a way to stop the evil forces that have taken hold of Ellie. They face a painful moral dilemma: Ellie is part of their family, but her body is now a receptacle for an unforgiving evil entity. Meanwhile, the Necronomicon continues to play a key role, with secrets within it that may be the only hope of stopping this horror-if they can crack it before it's too late.
Throughout the film, Evil Dead Rise features gore scenes typical of the franchise Evil Dead, with the use of more than 6,500 liters of fake blood to create sadistic and creepy visual effects. Stephen McKeon's gripping music and Cinematography by Dave Garbett amplify the atmosphere of horror, while shooting in Auckland, New Zealand, gives a realistic feel to the gloomy urban setting. The Film also features psychological elements, exploring themes of family, sacrifice, and resilience amid supernatural chaos.
Evil Dead Rise is not a direct sequel to the previous film as The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987), Army of Darkness (1992), or Evil Dead (2013), but rather a new story that stays true to the core elements of the franchise: Necronomicon, Deadites, and intense gore horror. The Film does not feature iconic characters such as Ash Williams (played by Bruce Campbell), but Campbell makes a cameo appearance as the voice of the priest in the vinyl record. At 97 minutes, the film manages to balance classic horror with a modern approach, attracting both old fans and new audiences.
