Description

That native image lets us have some really sharp details, with even the finest of textures clearly visible, even through the gloom of the apartment. The intricacy of the make-up – especially in the eyes – is perfectly captured, as is the viscera of the corpses, both the live ones and the dead ones, the darkness of the setting not handicapping the sense of detail in any way. In 1981 Director Sam Raimi essentially created a genre of film – the horror movie…with a comedic twist. This genre has been played out, but films like the original Evil Dead movies, An American Werewolf in London and so on – all embraced it. Fans of Raimi’s Evil Dead films no doubt know the excitement of watching the hero as he battles the forces of evil – with a chainsaw for a hand. But those films had their time and with 1993’s Army of Darkness, it might be argued that these came to an end. But no, thank you Hollywood, you’ll never let anything die and we got a new chapter in 2013 as well as a television series. And now we’ve got Evil Dead Rise, a film that shares the same name as the aforementioned titles but…that’s about it. Was it worth the wait? Is it more of the same? Or is this just yet another excuse to cash in on an already overdone genre with a familiar title? Evil Dead Rise was shot in the anamorphic format with the Arri Alexa Mini LF using Panavision G-, T-Series, Ultra Panatar and Ultra Speed MKII lenses in ARRIRAW (4.5K). A 4K digital intermediate was utilized and the film comes to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in a 2.40:1 HEVC 2160p HDR10 encodement.

Evil Dead Rise’ 4K UHD Blu-Ray Review - Geek Vibes Nation ‘Evil Dead Rise’ 4K UHD Blu-Ray Review - Geek Vibes Nation

EVIL DEAD RISE marks the return to the iconic horror franchise, written and directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground). The film stars Lily Sullivan (I Met a Girl, Barkskins), Alyssa Sutherland (New Gold Mountain, Vikings), Morgan Davies (The End, Storm Boy), Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence) and introducing Nell Fisher (Northspur). I don’t need to delve much deeper into the plot as you can already guess what happens next. Ellie gets incidentally transformed into a deadite, and now it’s up to her sister Beth to keep what’s left of the family alive as they try to escape the dilapidated building. Needless to say this is one of the most gruesome, and crazy films in the entire series. I’m a HUGE fan of Sam Raimi’s take on horror comedy, but the 2013 film went in a completely different direction. Instead focusing on the macabre and more brutal body elements of demon possession and the steps to defeat them. I always felt that the 2013 remake was a BRUTAL film gore wise, but Lee Cronin hits the ground running and amps up the gore from level 11, to full on 15 on a scale from 1-10. I’m not exaggerating here, but this one of THE goriest and blood soaked horror films I’ve ever seen. I never let gore get under my skin (even with torture films like Saw), but to its credit, Rise actually got under my skin. We jokingly refer to counting the kills with “gallons of blood” spilt in movies like these, but you’re LITERALLY taking measurements in “swimming pools of blood” here (and no, I’m not exaggerating). Starring: Mirabai Pease, Richard Crouchley, Anna-Maree Thomas, Lilly Sullivan, Noah Paul, Alyssa Sutherland, Gabrielle Echols Shot digitally on the ubiquitous Arri Alexa Mini LF and a 4.5K native image to produce it’s 4K Digital intermediate from, this release from Studiocanal has a fantastically solid foundation. It produces a native 3840 x 2160p resolution image in a theatrically accurate 2.39:1 aspect ratio that also utilises 10-bit video depth, WCG and HDR10 only, all of which has been encoded using the HEVC/H.265 video codec.Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? The cast does a great job with the delivery and physical demands that these roles bring. Especially the role of Ellie who is put through the ringer from start to finish. And for those that are looking out for Bruce Campbell - that wish will be granted in a pitch-perfect way that might cause this film to be in a multi-verse of sorts. Evil Dead Riseis a fun, horror film with rivers of blood, carnage, and scares. It's a worthy addition to the franchise that sets up more films. Hopefully, the next go-around will examine the dark comedy that these films have delivered so well before. And so Lee Cronin’s fifth entry starts off exactly where you would expect it – in a cabin. In the woods. And its one of his few stumbles in an otherwise brilliantly propulsive, claustrophobic and brilliantly bloody take on the classic Deadites. While there’s nothing wrong per se with the cold open here – it feels VERY Sam Raimi both in terms of its execution and its unbridled glee at the bodily carnage being meted out - it’s a clunky plot beat that actually bears no real link to the main story. While obviously a clear nod to Deadites past, it feels too much like a safety blanket, almost as unsure as some of its audience in the upcoming change of scenery and it contributes to the film’s only real issue – it’s pacing in the first act. But while you can take the gore-soaking, eye-gouging, limb-ripping and now, horrifically, cheese-grating ( Note: technically, that should be skin-grating…) out of the woods, seems like you can’t quite take the woods out of the…you get my drift.

Evil Dead Rise (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital) [4K UHD]

I was actually mostly skeptical with Evil Dead Rise from the trailer. We’re long gone from a weird cabin in the woods and deadites coming out of the ground. Instead we shifted to a grungy apartment in Los Angeles where a mother is turned into a deadite and tries to go full demon on her family. It just didn’t FEEL like an Evil Dead movie at all from what I could see. But at the same time the red band trailer was intriguing and I was proven wrong once more. Studios & Distributors: Department of Post | Ghost House Pictures | New Line Cinema | Warner Bros. | Wild Atlantic Pictures | Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Lee Cronin owes Fede Alvarez a drink. The question of just how do you reboot a beloved horror franchise, and do it well, has already been thunderously answered by Alvarez’s astounding 2013 Evil Dead, meaning Cronin, the talented writer/director behind the stylish Hole in the Ground (2019), had a tried and tested blueprint to follow. And follow it he did. The image for this film is pristine. It takes place mostly in the dark besides the opening scene which is set in daylight. The darkness is not a hindrance for this film given the superb shadow detail extension. The HDR10 coding does not add a lot of extra brightness, given the artistic intent of the film, but in comparing the Blu-ray to the 4K Ultra HD, one can see a better dynamic range, more ‘pop’ in lights, flashlights, and lamps, and a bit more color, especially in the reds.

Info

Instead of focusing on the one man-god Bruce Campbell or somebody similar, Evil Dead Risefollows a single mother named Ellie who has three kids and is all living in a soon-to-be demolished high-rise apartment. The tattoo artist's money isn't rolling in, which is where the kids try and make any money they can to help out. Ellie's sister Beth comes to visit when an earthquake rattles Los Angeles and creates a hole underneath their high-rise. One of the children explores the hole and finds a crusty old book, some ancient artifacts, and some records, which of course, invite the horror to come. In “Evil Dead Rise,” the action moves out of the woods and into the city, and tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable. From New Line Cinema and Renaissance Pictures, the film also stars Morgan Davies (TV’s “The End,” “Storm Boy”), Gabrielle Echols (“Reminiscence”) and introducing Nell Fisher (“Northspur”). The film was produced by longtime franchise producer Rob Tapert and executive produced by series creator and horror icon Sam Raimi and cult legend and “Ash” himself, Bruce Campbell, along with John Keville, Macdara Kelleher, Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Romel Adam and Victoria Palmeri.
