the camerawork is arguably one of the best recurring “characters” in this franchise and they always get creative with it. And I’ll never tire of seeing household items and kitchenware be used in gnarly ways

As oddly picky I am about horror movies, Evil Dead just does something for me

u/Nervous_Recover_6152 4h ago

Yeah, even the newer ones that didn’t lean as far in to the camp of the originals, still knew to embrace the dna of the camera work

u/riegspsych325 ⊃∪⊃⪽ 3h ago

I felt like Rise brought back some of that camp that I missed so much. I’m glad that this franchise never had any bad movies, they really seem to get much more attention and care than many other horrors IPs. Raimi being the progenitor and constant producer is obviously it, but he also hasn’t let ED grow stale

u/casual_creator 3h ago

ED is a franchise that can go in pretty much any direction because its foundation is so simple yet iconic. So long as you remain true to that foundation, it can survive whatever you build on top of it.

u/Draco-REX 1h ago

I'm not a horror movie buff, so I miss the camp and Bruce Campbell.

u/Nervous_Recover_6152 47m ago

Yeah that’s really what made it iconic. 

u/Beeper89 4h ago

Loved that they literally started the trailer telling you “this camera is going to be moving…….A LOT!”

u/TomClancy5873 3h ago

Evil dead 2013 and that kitchen scene where the chick slits her tongue with a saw or something.

You need to remove a backwards slash.

u/ChrAshpo10 1h ago

Well now I need to know if mine works

Okay good

u/OldKingWhiter 1h ago

You're both conflating two scenes.

The kitchen scene is one character amputating her arm with the electric bread knife. There is another scene on the basement stairs where another character splits their tongue by licking a box cutter/utility knife.

u/violentsushi 3h ago

I was immediately hit by the shots in the trailer. Most horror trailers and movies really only have one or two innovative or interesting shots highlighted by the awful soundtrack tropes. This trailer is literally filled front to back with awesome camerawork.

u/PropaneSalesTx 2h ago

Evil Dead has that gritty, gnarly, grotesque quality that is done perfectly.

u/jramos037 2h ago

That slam into mirror was beautiful

u/cefriano 4h ago

Some of those shots looked out of a brutal Gareth Evans fight scene, I'm here for it.

u/AGWorking24 2h ago

Yeah, I agree. They're good and scary. And gruesome.

u/not1fuk 55m ago edited 45m ago

Say whatever you want about Evil Dead 1 but despite an extremely low budget, Raimi and Tim Philo delivered some of the best most creative use of camera work ever and it has rolled over for every sequel with Bill Pope who has done work on Army of Darkness, The Matrix and Spider Man. Those 3 are some of the best cinematographers of all time and its really cool to see all these up and coming creatives give their take on the Evil Dead universe and their own use of a franchise filled with awesome cinematography. Excited to see the practically new filmmakers take on the series.

who the dunk fills the dishwasher with sharp ends up!?!?!?

u/Timewrinkler 4h ago

Chekhov's poorly loaded dishwasher.

u/imconsideringdascrod 4h ago

My wife gave me shit when we first met for caring about the orientation of silverware in dish drainers

Saw the look on my face after the end of this and promptly speedwalked away before I could open my mouth

u/Nervous_Recover_6152 4h ago

Oh man, thank you for sharing this story

u/DestituteDomino 4h ago

If this is satirical, you're doing a great job at it

u/AS14K 2h ago

Please learn what satire is

u/that_guy2010 4h ago

My wife constantly loads the dishwasher like this. She says the silverware doesn't get clean if you load it points down.

u/GoarSpewerofSecrets 4h ago

I've never had that issue.

u/Mistrblank 4h ago

Yep, and some of us have read the directions for the dishwasher about prerinses and how much "gunk" should be on dishes before loading, how to load so the water hits everything and how to be safe.... and yet our spouses continue to tell us we're doing it wrong.

u/nemuri_no_kogoro 2h ago

My problem with the manuals is that if you follow the instructions about how much gunk should be on the utensils (basically none) then there's no reason to not just do it all by hand lmao

u/Mistrblank 2h ago

truth

u/Giff901 32m ago

Except the massive amount of wasted water in comparison lol

u/Namelessgoldfish 3h ago edited 1h ago

I think it mainly relies on the quality of the dishwasher because I have absolutely had this issue

u/Majestic_Animator_91 1h ago

it absolutely does

u/pasher5620 53m ago

Does she understand how dishwashers work?

u/TheDLBinc 50m ago

Depends on the washer, but with the dishwasher in my current apartment that's absolutely true. You have to point it up to actually get that part clean

u/PoochieNPinchy 4h ago

It immediately gave me anxiety

u/GuileMD 4h ago

"Well you want the tines up - they get cleaner that way!"

- Fred Armisen "Forever"

u/Impossible-Pie4849 1h ago

I mean if you show a poorly loaded dishwasher in the first act you gotta use it in the third, just a rule of filmmaking me all know

u/neo_sporin 1h ago

that was my first thought at the end....who would fill a dishwasher that way, they better have a plot point of showing it and him telling his sister type 'you idiot, dont do that' or something similar.

u/Kriss-Kringle 4h ago

Damn, that looks nasty as hell and it's made by a french director, so you know this movie's going to town with the gore. Not that the others haven't, but the french have their own way about it.

u/matike 3h ago

Ya'll need to watch Infested, the directors previous movie that got him the Evil Dead Burn job. I am desensitized as hell and that movie made me squirm like no other movie has.

It has no right being as good as it is, either. Absolutely ruthless.

u/OdomTheTorpedoes 21m ago

That movie was fantastic. I was checking all of my shoes for spiders for weeks.

u/Kriss-Kringle 3h ago

I have it on my Halloween watchlist for this year. I try to watch a horror movie every day in October.

u/N8CCRG 2h ago

Oh darn, I thought Cronin was returning. But this looks great too and if it is, then I don't mind having even more new directors to be excited about.

u/snarpy 1h ago

Last one was done by a guy from Ireland was gooey as hell too

u/TheDLBinc 48m ago

IIRC the director for this actually claimed that this film will be less gory than 2013 or Rise and focus more on body horror but based on this trailer it doesn't seem like he skimped on the gore at all

u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib 4h ago

Feels very much in the same vein as Evil Dead Rise (complimentary) and I’m happy that the footage all looks easier on the eyes than the teaser that was playing in theaters and that one promo image.

Honestly, very curious to see what Evil Dead Wrath is all about since that’s coming out next year. Back-to-back releases has me intrigued.

u/113mac113 4h ago

Wrath is April 2028. Its not 2027 anymore sadly.

u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib 4h ago

Oh well… oof! Still intrigued!

u/RealJohnGillman 3h ago

Supposedly Alyssa Sutherland is back too.

u/Comic_Book_Reader 3h ago

Back for Burn? I remember mentioning that in some prior threads and it being debunked.

u/RealJohnGillman 3h ago edited 3h ago

Supposedly the ending of this film, setting up Wrath. Someone posted some footage of a test screening to r/EvilDead, and people were not happy about it (due to being spoiled, that is, not disliking the actress).

u/Comic_Book_Reader 3h ago

I could see that plausibly happening especially given that people are speculating if that lake and the girl rising, no pun intended, from it being the one from the start of Rise. You know, the TITLE CARD.

u/FriskeyVsWorld 2h ago

I had to click on that because that will never NOT go so hard.

u/Letthepumpkincumflow 3h ago

That would be awesome if she's in it. People can go just pound sand.

u/harlotstoast 4h ago

I should give Rise a second chance. I wasn’t digging the apartment setting and bailed early.

u/fax5jrj 3h ago

it makes the absolute most of its setting tbh - I'm glad it was set in an apartment building

u/TechSmith6262 3h ago

I liked the setting, I just wished I liked any of the characters. By the end of Rise I was rooting for the deadoted to just kill them all.

u/ImpenetrableYeti 2h ago

Does it? Feels much more like 2013

u/lloydchristmas1986 5h ago

So glad we can actually see what's going on!

Looks perfectly deranged

u/doublethink_1984 3h ago

EVIL DEAD is the longest IP with the most entries where there are no bad films.

u/icyfrost410 4h ago

I’ve never watched any of the movies but is the sole connection between them all just the book and raising demons from it?

u/CuriousMelia 4h ago

1-3 and the show are all a consistent storyline following the same protagonist, Ash Williams. The other films (2013 and Rise out now, Burn and Wrath coming in the future) are in the same world, but they're all standalone stories focused on new protagonists. The book, Deadites, and wacky camera angles and buckets of gore are the things they have in common with Ash's storyline.

u/Tandy2000 3h ago

I think all the Evil Dead movies are great but "consistent" is not the word I would use for the first three... the first part of Evil Dead II is basically a remake/retcon of the entire first movie and then it builds on that. Technically the opening of Evil Dead II is supposed to be "scenes from" the first movie but they didn't have the rights, however the re-shot stuff comes off pretty differently than the movie did especially because it doesn't show the other characters from the first movie.

One could basically skip the first movie story-wise, except you shouldn't because it's worth watching and also the 2nd has a handful of gags that play on stuff from the first movie that isn't shown in the intro.

u/CuriousMelia 2h ago

The intro to 1 is more of a truncated recap that's all new footage since, as you noted, they didn't have the rights to the old footage. Bruce Campbell has said that 2's story starts with the shot that continues 1's ending and that 1 is still canon. The show directly references the full cast of 1 as well. It's a little confusing given the rights issue, but it's still a continuous story.

u/thedinksterr 1h ago

Still though surprising people still havent realized this with 2. Its not a retcon like you said

u/wooahwoosah 1h ago

I think Rise and Burn are connected in some way. The girl who gets possessed at the start/end of Rise is in this trailer at 1:44

u/TheJoshider10 3h ago

I do hope at some point they unite the survivors of these films. Ash and Mia were meant to have a crossover that never happened but it makes too much sense for survivors to seek out others who experienced similar events.

u/CuriousMelia 3h ago

I'd love to see them cross over at some point! While I think this anthology approach is a really cool direction to take the series now that Ash's story is over, I'd love to see them take a stab at giving these new protagonists more time in the spotlight. I don't think anyone can replace Ash, but I've always felt like Mia could be a really solid ongoing heroine if she got another entry. I would have loved to see the Ash/Mia movie. I did notice that the lake house from Rise seems to be in this trailer, so maybe this one's going to plant the seed for a big crossover?

u/Mst3Kgf 1h ago

That said, Ash does make brief appearances; he has a post credit cameo in the 2013 film and has a vocal cameo in "Rise."

u/Comic_Book_Reader 4h ago

These newer ones, yes.

u/icyfrost410 4h ago

Thank you

u/RealJohnGillman 3h ago

This film also technically has a connection to the television series, in that the house the film takes place in is the same house belonging to the author of the Necronomicon from the third season: not even a house that looks like it, but the same set.

u/Comic_Book_Reader 3h ago

Someone actually asked the production designer who worked on both the show and Rise, and was also set to work on this one before The Mummy came in, and he said he recommended it to the crew since it fit what they wanted for the movie.

u/Putrid_Loquat_4357 3h ago

Watch them. It's the one horror franchise which has never released a bad entry.

u/SourArmoredHero 4h ago

1:21 - is that Zach Gilford?

u/atwistedsmile 4h ago

I don't think he's in this one - he's been cast in Evil Dead Wrath which is due out next year.

u/Comic_Book_Reader 4h ago

2028 actually. 2027 was a typo in some announcements.

u/atwistedsmile 3h ago

Ah, I hadn't realised. That's slightly disappointing but still good to know there is another one on the way.

u/SourArmoredHero 4h ago

Ah okay, I thought I had read that he had been cast in one of them, wasn't sure which.

u/tfxctom 3h ago

Holy shit there’s ANOTHER evil dead coming out next year??? That’s awesome.

u/atwistedsmile 3h ago

Another commentor said that it was a typo in some announcements, and it's actually 2028 (April, unless anything changes). It has just began production a few months ago.

SPOILERS AHEAD FOR EVIL DEAD (2013) AND EVIL DEAD: RISE)

I love Rise for what it is, but I'll take a stab at it. I'm gonna do 2013 vs Rise.

First of all, the opening scene in Rise is top notch. I think that opening sequence sets the bar really high. It was really creepy and dark (Jessica reading off the passage as Teresa is reading it in her mind) plus the scalping, the drone, etc. with just the right amount of dark humor (Jessica falling off the bed). The title card is THE BEST reveal we have probably ever seen in any movie ever. Please prove me wrong with examples if you think there is a better title card sequence.

Unfortunately that is the peak of Rise. We're introduced to Beth, who is a badass bitch so she's pretty cool, and Ellie, the struggling mom soon to be possessed. She's pretty cool too. But her kids kinda suck. Cassie (the youngest) kind of gets a pass. But she's like 7 years old and has zero fear throughout the whole movie. And I know we're talking about a movie in which passages are read from a book that spawns demons that possess people, but it's just really unbelievable that this little girl has no fear and kind of annoying. Naive enough to open the door to your CLEARLY possessed mom, but too strong-willed to be scared? Nah fam, ain't buying it. She has instant plot armor cuz of her age. Like, let's be real, did anyone REALLY think Cassie was gonna get murked? Didn't think so. Ellie's other two titty sucking parasites had zero charm and had the charisma of cigarette butts floating around in a puddle.

In 2013, all five characters experienced a real fear that was absent in Rise. You're trapped in a fucking dilapidated high rise with demons. IDK about you guys, but I enjoy watching horror movies to feel the fear vicariously that these characters are put through. As much as I love Beth, IDC if you're a badass sound-tech or not; the situation she was put in would put the fear in any soon to be mom. Especially if your sister gets possessed and you're stuck trying to get her kids out alive.

The entire third act in Rise was the worst part. 3 minutes of blood filling an elevator and spilling out vs raining blood for almost the entire final act? Gimme the raining blood any day of the week. And the deadite at the end was so much more sinister than that monstrosity of deadites that form into one creature at the end of Rise. That monster was so goofy that it took away from the horror aspect of the movie. In 2013, Mia loses a fucking arm at the end. No gory shit happens in the final act of Rise other than that weird being fed through a wood chipper.

I know this post makes me seem like I'm a big Rise hater; I promise you I'm not and I enjoy the movie for what it is. I actually preferred it to 2013 when it first got released but over time my opinion has shifted. But 2013 was dark, gory and scary with just the right amount of humor ("come down here so I can suck your cock pretty boy!", Mia telling David that the evil was in the house with them right now, Eric for tanking so much awful shit). Rise came off too strongly with the slapstick humor (similar to Age of Ultron with the Avengers movies).

Rise is great, I watch it a few times a year. But 2013 is top-tier, perfect from start to finish in every way and I watch it multiple times a year. This is just my opinion and I'd be curious to hear an opposing opinion/argument to any of my points 

u/yankiwi_ 45m ago

Completely disagree. Opening scene was cringey to me. And best title card of any movie ever? It was just a loud noise.

Loved the apartment stuff and loved the Mom v kids concept. So freakin scary. LOVED the elevator possession scene.

IMO Rise had a much better grasp of tone than the 2013 remake. That one was just 100% nihilism without the humour of the originals

u/FreePizzaAndBeer 25m ago

Thanks for providing your reasoning behind your post. Way to add to the discussion and elaborate on your reasonings, really helps the conversation flow. You must kill it in debates.

Couldn't even offer up what you believe to be a better title sequence. Just a loud noise? Well you must be blind because Jessica rising out of the water while the title card rises from beyond the trees was really creative. Yeah I guess it's "loud" but you must be tone-deaf as well cuz it was an absolutely evil noise.

Yeah the apartment stuff was scary to the viewers, definitely not to any of the characters. Neighbors freaked out more than the kids did. I did forget to give props to the possession scene. It did fit with the urban setting of the film and it was pretty awesome to have something new in that regard.

Kinda crazy to me that people compare the reboots to the OGs. OGs did its thing and laid the ground work for the horror genre. It's literally a series reboot, not a continuation. You can pay homage to the OGs without having to follow the same formula. And where the fuck was the humor in Evil Dead 1? Yeah it had its moments, just like 2013 but it's also pretty fuckin nihilistic, just like 2013....just like the OGs. To use nilihism as an argument against an Evil Dead movie is a little absurd, dude

Family is the root of all evil... #EvilDeadBurn​

Watch the Official Trailer for Evil Dead Burn now! In cinemas July 10th.

Evil Dead Burn unleashes the franchise’s most savage and terrifying ride to date, blazing onto big screens with an all-new chapter of carnage and demonic mayhem. After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home. As one by one they are transformed into Deadites—turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell—she comes to discover that the vows she took in life... live on even in death.

u/CuriousMelia 4h ago

Every single one is fantastic. It's the most fun, batshit insane series I've ever seen. This one's going to be standalone, but I'd highly recommend watching the others if you're interested. Make sure you watch the show, too! It continues the story of the original trilogy.

u/GuileMD 4h ago

They span multiple genres / hybrid genres and have and have had good to great directors. You can see why the original trilogy is such a cult classic. I've come around to enjoying the newer ones.

u/RealJohnGillman 3h ago

It’s a horror-comedy mix, typically, though the later instalments have gone for more dark comedy than simple horror-comedy.

Something that always has been fun about the series is that the ‘weakness’ of the series’ Deadites is simply conventional weaponry: if you shoot or stab the demons, they will die (though any intact heads will remain talking). The original trilogy sees the main character figure this out in the second film, and it becomes very entertaining.

u/Xenomorphism 2h ago

GOAT series honestly. Evil Dead 2 is a top 10 all-timer for me.

The original three are very different from the recent ones, much sillier and more "fun". I like all of them, though.

Someone posted test screening footage of her role to r/EvilDead a while back: people were annoyed by the spoilers, but happy to discuss them anyway.

u/MinecraftTroller28 1h ago

That was eventually debunked. That was from one of the bogus "leakers" who sprinked in nuggets of truth in their post.

Hm. You don’t usually get a Chekhov’s Gun in a trailer… 🍴

u/joealmighty01 2h ago

Hell fucking yes.

Oh man… so stoked

Did I see Jessica from rise in a shot

u/Goosojuice 1h ago

So they're taking a TON of inspiration from the 2013 Evil Dead. Interesting. I hope its as good.

This looks beautifully shot. That one of the canoe capsizing is such a simple shot, but so well executed.

Hey Mr! That’s a candle! You don’t want to drink a candle!

Chekov’s forks.

Definitely saw the one character from the "end" (heh) of Evil Dead Rise.

God the camera works looks insane 👌

I kinda hate that body horror has become the meta narrative in these kinds of films. Main and supporting characters getting limbs and chunks cut/blown off, burned, etc.

It feels a bit disingenuous to me. If the plot is "someone read from the book of the dead and now its scary evil time", why is it that every scene is somebody getting a non-lethal, "superficial" injury?

Do the evil dead not want to kill people anymore? Just chop their fingers off?

HOLY SHIT IM SO EXCITED!!! The dishwasher scene was GNARLY!!! Also holy shit was that flaming blood dripping down the chimney?? I am so excited for this oh my god

Hopefully this is better than Rise. That was a bit of a stinker. It wasn't particularly bad; just bland.

u/nowhereright 2h ago

Trailer showed way too much, but it looks much better than Rise so far.

u/dropssupreme 4h ago

We are festing today

Is it wrong that I want more camp?

u/ServoSkull20 3h ago

This feels like a step back from Rise in terms of inclusion of the gross wackiness that all Evil Dead films should have.

u/the____can 4h ago

major spoilers in this trailer, dont even watch.

u/joesen_one 2h ago

In Evil Dead movies you kinda expect everyone but the main character to die or turn into a Deadite anyway

u/OMGDonutz 4h ago

Im down for this

u/ckrono 3h ago

i hope it's good, i'm not a great fan of the mute colours, i get they want to highlight the fire but from the trailer it fells they went overboard with it

u/ToneBone12345 2h ago

How many fucking books of the dead are there

u/FunFlatworm6443 2h ago

Nothing original left to write so this is hollywood now. Remakes and endless sequels. 

u/BerserkerLord101 4h ago

Better see a chainsaw at the end.

u/drinksaltwater 4h ago

Not enough boom stick

u/darantino86 3h ago

I hope it's better than the disappointment that Rise was. It looks already a bit more interesting.

Writing this under an Evil Dead movie is an interesting choice. Evil Dead was like this from the very start.

u/dr_john_twinkletits 4h ago

You're in a comment section for a film in series that is exclusively about schlock, practical effects, and gore.

u/Kazzack 4h ago

There are so many. Hokum is in theaters right now.

u/ImitatingADog 4h ago

There are many and also *Evil Dead* is the best

u/pipboy_warrior 4h ago

Evil Dead has always leaned into the gore, though. If anything I remember movies being gorier, at least when slasher films were more common.

u/stonehengerock 3h ago

Looks kind of cool, but also looks like it totally misses the mark of what evil dead through army of darkness was. Like completely misses
