What website will let me watch Evil Dead Rise for free?

long the treacherous road to adulthood, we all have goals we set for ourselves to to prove that we can be self-sufficient when it comes to the development of our humans. They could be massive projects, such as reading the entirety of Emile Zola's"Rougon-Macquart" cycle in order to comprehend the last part of the nineteenth century French social history. However, they could also be modest in scale, such as for me, where I put a lot of my energy and effort trying to see the fully uncut version of Sam Raimi's 1981 splat-tacular The Evil Dead.

As a child I owned (and was awed by) The 4 Front Video release of the film which was the subject of many cuts because of an affliction from the BBFC's much-publicised moral panic regarding so-called "Video trash". My memory of the mangled film's vividness and fond, and I remember feeling that the person who cut the film had done so in a manner where the viewer could tell that something tasty had been removed. For instance, the sound would suddenly drop out of time and the continuity would stall for a short time. I would want more than anything to know what was happening between the cuts. I was a child version of the "Sicko" joke. Perhaps  watch Evil Dead Rise  am still?

I'd like to think that director-writer Lee Cronin shared this experience however even in the event that he did not however, it is evident from his latest release Evil Dead Rise that he has studied the film on that same molecular level. It's declasse to describe this film as a "franchise extension" or a "reboot" or even a late "sequel" because the film is more of a reconstruction or a study or a reworking from the source. The same story presented from a new contemporary angle. The result is absolutely stunning...

If there's one thing the Evil Dead has taught us, it's that we must do everything in our power to avoid intoning a mystical demonic incantation in the presence of the flesh-bound/blood-inked Book of the Dead, as very bad things will ensue. Here, Alyssa Sutherland's single-mom tattooist Elle is preparing to move out of her old apartment building with her three kids. A tremor uncovers an old, dusty vault in the basement, inside which, wrapped in a paper and placed inside a bug-infested burial chamber is an old friend.

Cronin balances the set-up to the perfect balance, setting out the delicate family dynamic while adding in the wild-card element of her estranged twin sister Beth (Lily Sullivan) as well as leaving the audience to speculate on which of the siblings will end up being an Ash character in the movie. This straightforward but extremely efficient set-up serves to provide the second half gore explosion with an element of sadness and, I'll be honest, it's one simple shot that occurs directly following one of the most intense blow-outs of effects that nearly caused me to cry in my eye.

Although there is a touching respect for the movie, Cronin isn't merely attempting to imitate the hilarious dynamics and acrobatic camera moves that Raimi made his trademark. The dispatching of victims is done with the same care for detail and a desire to give each victim an opportunity to make a new scene for horrifying mutilation or another. In tone, Evil Dead Rise is very similar to the original Evil Dead, in that it doesn't opt for the slapstick wigs and wig-outs from the third and second films however its absurd humour shines through in just how relentlessly OTT it is.




The only criticism I have is the overly-long and irrelevant epilogue and prologue that feel like they've been put in place as a way to lay a path for a sequel, but I guess it's a case of Cronin being a sufferer of the success of others. The rest of the time, this is the cleansing and euphoric sensation of allowing a bloody swell to slam into the reader. And it doesn't make you desire to go back to the original version to see what could have been instead, it serves as a means to test the depth and fidelity of the results Cronin and his team have created. It's like experiencing the full glory of the uncut initial version of the film for the first, and I couldn't be more pleased with that.

The latest chapter in the Evil Dead saga is definitely an affair for the entire family However, until the Necronomicon is destroyed for good and for all, there will be very little of families left. Fandango has premiered a new Evil Dead Rise clip that features Alyssa Sutherland's Ellie shortly after she succumbs to the book's curse , and turns into a murderous Deadite. The video below via Twitter.

The video shows Ellie's sibling, Beth (Lily Sullivan) finding her sibling in the kitchen, where she's cooking up a not-so-nutritious breakfast by smashing multiple eggs into a fry pan, with shells and everything else. And if that's not enough to make Beth and her three children realize that there's something wrong, the message becomes instantly clear when Ellie shares with them her ideal family gathering. But it's more violent than your typical walk through the woods and her speech is slurred, making it even more disturbing.
