[Official Thread] Evil Dead Rise

[Morsoth]

I'm a little confused by the final line of the synopsis:

Spoiler

If Ellie is the mother of these children, what does it mean that Beth will be confronted with the worst version of motherhood possible?

I think it means that

Spoiler

Beth will deal with Ellie, a possessed/deadite mother

.

That's my guess too; maybe she has to protect the kids from the mother who wants them to Join Us - er, her.

I also though the exact same thing, but being a movie...

Spoiler: Could be a spoiler?!

I imagine they'll find the (also classic) cracks in the basement wall that will demolish part of the wall itself, which will reveal a secret door which, will lead to a secret room with a desk and the book. Or, same, but instead of a secret room, that will be the location of an ancient eldritch and unnamable cult where they built a high-rise on it.

I loved the 2013 remake (even if it has issues), but I'm not sure about this one. I think it's best if our expectations are low, we might be surprised by Raimi & co once again!

I could see that happening. Strangely, I'm more intrigued by this one than Fede's remake, which I had so many issues of my own with.

Looking at the pizza box, I think it's safe to assume that it's another stand-alone movie, not really set in the original trilogy/series 'universe'. That's why, in my visual timeline, I have linked it with the remake as a "possible link"... until they prove otherwise with a major link to any previous movie.

That prop is probably the most hopeful thing I've seen from the production so far. Self aware humor that fits with the Evil Dead's style. I wonder if this may be an indication that ED Rise will lean more into comedy than ED (2013) did.

I hope it's a dark comedy.

Surprised no one posted this tweet as it had me laughing my head off and makes me hopeful this film has a bit of a dark comedy edge too it. In general though, loving the vibes i'm getting from this director, the sense of humor is dead on for evil dead, though it might not be reflective of the actual product i am liking the tongue in cheek quips from him!

I commented on Dana DeLorenzo's tweet asking Lee Cronin where the mess was about kids at least making healthier choices by eating whole grain bread, hahaha. Lee liked it.

Should have gone with a better slogan.

I appreciate LC's sense of humor too! We'll have to see what the first look trailer has in store for us.

The Necronomicon is now available on your favorite e-reader (e stands for evil) and other electronic devices.

I hope it's a dark comedy.

I think Bruce Campbell told about a return to horror/comedy in an early interview.

 

[Nick el Ass]

Lee Cronin must be hard at work because we haven't heard much from him since he posted on August 8th that they had 3 weeks to go.

6,500 liters of fake blood, or 1,700+ gallons seems kind of low for an Evil Dead movie/tv show.

 

[MaidOfKandar]

I was just about to ask, how much blood did Fede say he used on the remake?

Fede said they used roughly 50,000 gallons for the ending of Evil Dead 2013 alone.
