After being hand-picked by the legendary Sam Raimi, director Lee Cronin takes the Evil Dead franchise into a bold new direction in Evil Dead Rise, out of the woods and into the big city.
Beth’s surprise reunion with her sister Ellie is interrupted by an earthquake that shakes the foundation of her apartment building. Amidst the rubble, Ellie’s kids discover a secret vault hidden in the basement, inside which they find an ancient book bound in flesh and inked in human blood – the Necronomicon. As the building’s residents are possessed one by one and the evil rises floor to floor, the family get-together becomes a fight for survival.
Never have the Deadites been so terrifying in this bold and blood-soaked revival of the classic series, now in a definitive extras-packed, director-approved edition.
