As promised by Bruce Campbell on Tuesday, the official trailer for “Evil Dead Rise,” the next installment in the “Evil Dead” franchise, arrived on Wednesday. The red band trailer introduces us to the horrors the film has in store for us when it hits theaters on April 21, 2023.
Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, “Evil Dead Rise” tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.
The film is helmed by Lee Cronin (“The Hole in the Ground”), who both wrote and directed the film, and also stars Morgan Davies (“Storm Boy”), Gabrielle Echols (“Reminiscence”), and Nell Fisher (“Northspur”).
“Evil Dead Rise” is produced by Rob Tapert (“Ash vs Evil Dead”) and executive produced by series creator and horror icon Sam Raimi and cult legend and “Ash” himself, Bruce Campbell, along with John Keville, Macdara Kelleher, Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Romel Adam and Victoria Palmieri.
