Evil Dead Rise is a sequel to Evil Dead (2013), which was a soft reboot of the original 1980s trilogy, according to Variety.
The original film, The Evil Dead, was released in 1981 followed by its two sequels, Evil Dead II (1987) and Army of Darkness (1993).
“The ‘Evil Dead’ movies filled my brain with terror and awe when I first saw them at 9 years old,” Cronin said in a statement.
“I am excited and humbled to be resurrecting the most iconic of evil forces for both the fans and a whole new generation.”

While Cronin might've been inspired by the original films, he has put his own gory twist on this one and even used over 1,700 gallons of blood.
“We used 6,500 liters [1,717 gallons] of blood on the movie,” Cronin revealed, via Variety.
“That is real, sticky, cooked movie blood. We had to hire out this industrial kitchen to cook the blood and keep it fresh, be able to heat it up, because characters are covered in it.
"There was a lot of management of liquid in this movie. I wanted blood to be a character, so it was important we got the viscosity and look just right.”
How can I watch Evil Dead Rise?
Evil Dead Rise will make its theater debut in the United States on April 21, 2023.
Later on, the film will be available to stream on HBO Max with a valid subscription.
