Evil Dead Rise (2023) (1 Viewer)

[Joe Wong]

I pretty much agree with this review by James Berardinelli

“Younger viewers or those new to the genre may wonder what’s special about this film. The answer: nothing. This is yet another victory for nostalgia over originality.”

Berardinelli is my favourite internet reviewer pre-COVID (though his reviews since COVID have been necessarily more sporadic).

It does sound like Rise doesn’t stand out, but I’ll watch it at some point.

I liked but didn't love it. Though I will say that I loved the shot with the title at the beginning of the movie.

Great atmos sound. On point gore. Lame story. Laughs came at the wrong places often. Too corny not scary.

Looks like a $23 million opening for this. Higher than expected.

 

[Malcolm R]

Weekend estimate $23.5 million. Not far from the debut of the 2013 remake of the original ($25.8 million).

Is'nt there anybody out there who can write something NEW? So tired of the same old Shit.
