Evil Dead Rise (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray)

"Evil Dead Rise" was released theatrically on April 21, 2023, grossing $147 million worldwide against a production of $15-$19 million. It was written and directed by Lee Cronin starring Lily Sullivan & Alyssa Sutherland. It is the fifth film in the long running Evil Dead series. Critical response was very positive overall. While I liked "Evil Dead Rise" when I initially saw it back in 2023, I also thought that it didn't feel like an Evil Dead film despite all of the expected ingredients that you would expect to see in a film from that series. I then realized via interviews with the producers is that this is exactly what they wanted with this film was to take the series in a fresh direction. Subsequent viewings increased my appreciation for the film and I think that everyone involved knocked it out of the park. It is gruesome, gory, tense and darkly funny in spots. The acting is very strong from the entire cast and the sound design is on point as well. Warner Brothers first brought "Evil Dead Rise" to 4K back in 2023 in a bare bones HDR10 only release. They would then reissue it shortly thereafter in a steelbook release that added a commentary track but the steelbook release was also HDR10 only and still pretty barebones. Arrow Video came to the rescue providing the film a lavish 4K limited edition release that adds Dolby Vision in addition to the previous HDR10 grading in the prior 4K release. While the HDR10 grading looks terrific, the addition of Dolby Vision kicks things up a notch with even more inky black levels and contrast which helps as this a very dark film from a cinematography sense. The film is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.39:1. I also noticed that the Arrow Video 4K release has better encoding with a higher bit rate than the Warner Brothers 4K. Another stellar job by Arrow Video. Audio is presented in the lriginal DTS-HD MA 5.1 and Dolby Atmos audio options. English subtitles are included for the hearing impaired. The audio options mirror the prior 4K release. Where the Arrow Video 4K release excels is regarding the special features which are substantial with the prior commentary track being carried over. The full list of extras included with the Arrow Video release are as follows: - Audio commentary with director Lee Cronin and actors Alyssa Sullivan and Lily Sullivan • "Come Get Some", a brand new interview with actor Lily Sullivan • "Mommy Deadite", a brand new interview with actor Alyssa Sutherland • "The Deadite's Daughter", a brand new interview with actor Gabrielle Echols • "The Levitating Dead", a brand new interview with actor Anna-Maree Thomas • "Conjuring Deadites", a brand new interview with special make-up effects designer Luke Polti • "Chopping Up Deadites", a brand new interview with editor Bryan Shaw • "Sonic Possessions", a brand new interview with sound designer Peter Albrechtsen • "Music to Swallow Your Soul", a brand new interview with composer Stephen McKeon • "The Sound of Evil Dead Rise", a 2023 interview with Cronin and Albrechtsen by Glenn Kiser, director of the Dolby Institute • "Raising a New Evil Dead" featurette • "Ghost Train", a 2013 short film directed by Lee Cronin • Behind-the-scenes video clips and still gallery • Concept artwork gallery • Storyboard gallery • Trailer and TV spots • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Waldemar Witt • Double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Waldemar Witt • Collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by Michael Gingold So if you are a fan of the film, the superb Arrow Video limited edition 4K is worth picking up purely for the extras with the addition of Dolby Vision being nice as well. Well worth the double dip and highly recommend!

A darned good horror movie. Very enjoyable. Kudos to the director.

Who doesn't love the Evil Dead franchise? The first Evil Dead is definitely one of the greatest horror films of all time, Evil Dead 2 is pretty good with a nice mix of horror and comedy, Army of Darkness is a neat fantasy adventure with some funny slapstick, and the remake is awesomely underrated and in my opinion is one of the best remakes ever. There was also that show Ash vs. Evil Dead that was pretty good, but kind of fizzled out near the end. I was a little hesitant when I heard there was going to be a new movie, mainly because they don't specify where this one takes place in the franchise. Is it in the main Evil Dead universe of the remake's? But I was won over when I saw the trailer for it, well admittedly the second trailer. So the movie itself is actually pretty good, despite weirdly beginning with an opening stinger that takes place a day after the events of the main film with characters who don't contribute in any way to the plot of said film. The beginning is kind of a slog through until the mother becomes possessed. The acting is decent and the characters are kind of one note, but the actress who plays the mom Ellie terrifyingly steals the show when she becomes a Deadite. This movie goes really insane and gory with some good practical effects (sure there's some CGI) and some creepy scares, but I could've gone without the sharp music stings every time there's a jump scare or whenever a Deadite makes a slight move. They did miss an opportunity to have this creepy Jesus statue in the movie come to life but I digress. Overall this movie is pretty good. It definitely hits a lot of the Evil Dead vibes, and I was thoroughly surprised to find out that Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell where executive producers for the movie so that gives it some bonus points. It's probably not the best, but it's still pretty groovy.

One of the best horror movies of 2023 and their remergence of the Evil Dead franchise with very little CGI, really good story and good cast, gave me a good scare even for the 2023 horror film, this movie gave me a 1980s feel of that era which is good because I'm a big '80s fan of horror films. The item was exactly what it was when it was delivered out of the package new I will keep it.

The movie is great and the case itself came in perfect condition, but for some reason the sheet that is meant to have a redemption code and QR code didn't have either printed on it and is just totally blank. This would be a 5/5 review if it came with the code, but that'll cost it two stars. I got this on a great deal, but if I bought it at full price and it didn't come with the code I'd probably be pretty annoyed.

Item was pretty good I can't say too much about it but it arrived in original rapping and it was at a great price

Gotta keep up with this franchise too. I've watched the ones from the past too. Love scary movies. I understand it's not for everyone but all in all was a good movie.

Evil Dead Rise injects fresh nightmarish energy into the classic Evil Dead formula, shifting the setting from a remote cabin to an urban apartment complex—but keeping the relentless terror and gory spectacle intact. Directed by Lee Cronin, the film presents an intense, claustrophobic horror experience packed with blood-soaked brutality and unrelenting suspense. Pros: ✅ New Setting, Same Terror: The shift from the woods to an urban apartment brings a fresh twist while maintaining the Evil Dead series' intensity. ✅ Unforgiving Gore: Delivers grisly, practical effects that are shocking and visceral, living up to the franchise’s reputation. ✅ Strong Performances: Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland anchor the film with emotionally gripping and terrifying portrayals. ✅ Fast-Paced Storytelling: The film doesn’t waste time—once the horror begins, it doesn't let up. Cons: ⚠ Less Dark Comedy: While the franchise is known for mixing horror with twisted humor, Evil Dead Rise leans more into pure terror, which may feel tonally different for longtime fans. ⚠ Predictable Tropes: Some story beats follow familiar horror conventions, though executed effectively. For fans of relentless, blood-drenched horror, Evil Dead Rise delivers a terrifying experience, proving that the Necronomicon’s curse is far from over.

La película es de buena calidad, buena imagen y con subtítulos en español

Es una gran película con gore y con momentos destacables, además del cameo de voz de Bruce Campbell.

On en a pour son argent, l'esprit gore est bel et bien respecté avec même une légère pointe de brefs rares moments drôles (très brefs en fait ). C'est bien du Evil dead avec pas mal de références à la franchise (la tête qui parle, la tronçonneuse, les giclées de sang, le livre des morts...). Mais c'est bien plus moderne et les multiples effets spéciaux sont ici parfaitement huilés. Le film parvient même à être un peu flippant surtout dans la dernière ligne droite. Bref, une réel bon moment délirant et sanglant dans l'esprit de la franchise. Côté technique, le disque 4K UHD fait carton plein. Image 4K magnifique et très détaillée malgré les éclairages artificiels et les scènes sous éclairées. Les visages rouges de sang dans le final sont splendides. Le piqué UHD est bien là de même que la gestion parfaite des couleurs. Le HDR sait également exploiter les brillances à nouveau notamment dans les liquides (sang...). côté son c'est également lourd et précis à la fois. Mes grosses enceintes en ont eu du plaisir. Hautement recommandé pour les fans du genre ou de la franchise. Matériel de test : Vidéo projecteur BenQ W4000i avec écran Lumène 2,70 m, lecteur Panasonic UHD4K DP-820, ampli Marantz SR 6017 et Enceintes Klipsch Premier gros modèle en configuration 9.2.

Buena edicion para este nuevo capitulo dentro de la saga. imagen y sonido a la altura de lo que se espera de un bluray

Buena adquisición para la colección de terror.
