EVIL DEAD RISE: Bruce Campbell Shares New Image From Upcoming Horror Revival

Evil Dead fans have been desperate for a first look at some footage from the upcoming requel, Evil Dead Rise, and while there's still no sign of a teaser trailer, Bruce Campbell has now shared a new official still.

Campbell's character, Ash Williams, won't actually appear (as far as we know, anyway), but the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness actor is on board as an executive producer along with Sam Raimi.

The image introduces a new group of characters that will be forced to contend with an army of dreaded Deadites. Something tells us quite a few (most?) of these guys will come to messy ends before the credits roll!

Evil Dead Rise is set to hit theaters on April 21, 2023. The horror flick will ditch the usual forest setting and move the gory action to the city, as "two estranged sisters’ reunion is cut short when flesh-possessing demons thrust them into a battle for survival."

Alyssa Sutherland (The Mist, Vikings) and Lily Sullivan (Picnic at Hanging Rock, Jungle) will play the lead roles.

Sam Raimi's microbudget original is still considered one of the best horror movies of all time, with direct sequels Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness as well as recent TV show Ash vs. The Evil Dead upping the comedic elements. The well-received 2013 remake was a far more serious affair, but we're still not sure what to expect from Rise from a tonal standpoint.

I really want a surprise third act cameo from Ash or maybe a quick shot of his car cruising through the streets at one point so we know he's out there somewhere!

Or maybe tie it to the end of Ash v. EVIL DEAD and show the kaiju he fought on a news report in the background

@Taonrey - agreed! I'm afraid this one is gonna be the same as well...

A really great movie that doesn't find a proper audience because Ash isn't part of it.

I don't mind moving on from Ash, but they really need to find a protagonist who can pull off the silly as much as the serious

Is this a sequel to the Evil Dead remake?

Sisters? Sounds lame. The last remake was garbage.

@Humperdoo - I thought it was a great homage to the original 🤷‍♂️

Nobody from the show is involved, and that worries me. I'll still see it

I dont understand why we never got a sequel to the remake, fans liked it, general audiences liked it, it made money...

Anyway, about this...I dont know what this even is, a sequel, a reboot, another remake? and I still think making this movie theathers only is mistake...

Of all the remakes of the great horror franchises, I think Evil Dead is one of the best. I would put it in this order:

1-Evil Dead
2-Texas Chainsaw Massacre
3-Friday the 13
4- Rob Zombie´s Halloween
4-Hellraiser





5- Nightmare on Elm Street

Remembering that I only cited the remake films of recent years, without mentioning some spectacular ones like Dawn of the Dead, The Fly, The Ring
