Directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground), Evil Dead Rise stars Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan as a pair of sisters
who unleash the Deadites upon discovering the Necronomicon. This one seems
to adopt the more serious tone of
Fede Alvarez's 2013 film
rather than Sam Raimi's Three Stooges influenced originals.
The film also stars Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies and Nell Fisher.
Evil Dead Rise is in UK/ROI cinemas from April 21st.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, EVIL DEAD RISE (directed by Lee Cronin) tells the 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.
