Ben & Rob cover Lee Cronin’s 2023 movie ‘Evil Dead Rise’, slamming shut the book of the dead and bringing their Evil Dead series to a close. At least for now; if we’ve learned one thing about the Deadites, they’re fond of a comeback tour. ‘Evil Dead Rise’ follows two sisters, Beth and Ellie, whose lives take a horrific turn when they discover a book of the dead, the Necronomicon, in their apartment building's basement. Starring Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland, is this final chapter the fresh new spin on the franchise we’ve been waiting for? Or has the director delivered deader than Deadite dumbness? Is finding a Necronomicon in a sealed bank vault under your house the simplest route for a script? And is this actually the smartest Evil Dead film we’ve ever seen? CONSUUUME to find out!
