Where would you rank Evil Dead Rise in the franchise?
I’d say probably as the 4th best Evil Dead film. Not as good as the original trilogy, but better than the 2013 remake.
4 the best film along with army of darkness evil dead 2 and the evil dead
I would say as a horror film it's really good (If I ranked by horror I'd say Remake, Rise, 1, 2, AoD) but as an Evil Dead film it might be the worst. Not saying it's bad but Evil Dead 1 is a fantastic classic horror, 2 is a great blend of horror and comedy, AoD was a great comedy showing who Ash is and would become. The remake was a fantastic remake. I loved Rise as a horror but it felt the least like an 'Evil Dead' film.
I would say 4th or 5th, tied with Evil Dead (2013). I love both of them for different reasons and both are 4.5/5 for me and OG Trilogy being 5/5 and Evil Dead II in my top 10 favorite films of all time.
At the bottom. Not as creative and memorable as the original trilogy, and it doesn't forge enough of its own identity like the remake.
Evil Dead Rise is, to quote a great man, groovy. Sure it can’t top what Raimi and Campbell have done before, but as a next step in one of horror’s most beloved franchises, it does a really good job.
It's a patchwork of much better movies. Very forgettable.
I think its alright, I feel like it's a greatest hits of what evil dead did before with some potential. Its gotta get off the homages though. Waited 10 years to get a new one and it felt like it was the cabin setup but in a apartment floor/garage. The place has to be rundown.
I don't think it even comes close to the 2013 movie or ash evil dead.. That said I loved 2/3 of the movie.. But when the cgi monster at the end happend the movie lost me
@@mullaosloI agree, but I’ll add to that by saying all of the CGI was terrible, it took me out of the film big time. They should have put more effort into practical effects
Honestly I’d love to see an early 20th century film where Ash tries to stop a bunch of priests. Bruce Campbell would be great in that.
I'd love to see that, probably animated now because Campbell said he's not doing any more live action films
I took my dad (not a big horror guy) to see this in theatres when it came out, and seeing his reactions to the carnage on screen was almost more entertaining than the movie itself. Really good movie in it's own right, but that experience makes it a ten out of ten to me.
I’m getting to the point where I can quote alongside you whenever I hear the words “Evil Dead 2, the greatest movie of all time…”
Love this Matt! I gotta give Evil Dead Rise another watch. Haven’t seen it since it came out!
It’s become my mantra. Check it out! I thought it holds up great with rewatched.
This was the first Evil Dead I have ever seen in theaters and it did not disappoint!
The way it was able to update the franchise to a new location and modern setting was handled extremely well. Worthy of the Evil Dead name!
Me too
And don't forget the eyeball. I lost it when I saw that.
First *"Evil Dead"* film I got to watch in cinema. Worthy entry in the classic horror's franchise.
When I watched in the theater a friend and I had smoked a little weed… and it hit just as the massacre started. I can still picture myself with my eyes wide open and a huge grin on my face as the projector showed the carnage.
I watch Evil Dead Rise with my brother in theaters earlier this year and it was a beautiful experience, I really love this franchise and all of it's entries (mainly Evil Dead 2) but this one will always be special. Really appreciate the Junji Ito esque vibes and how the approach to deadites felt fresh and nuance as the body horror. Terrifying and Groovy indeed!
glad to see somebody else picked up on the Junji Ito vibes!
Honestly, out of all the horror franchises, EVIL DEAD doesn't have a bad film in its collection. Each film gets better and I can't wait to see where they take it from here. The series was also well made and enjoyable
It's pretty cool how every single 1 is great in its own ways
I just finished ash vs evil dead and I loved it, I really hope that animated s4 can come to fruition.
After seeing it 7 times already I just can't get enough of this series!
Oh man I'm really glad that you finally made a video on it! Definitely worthy of the title imo. I'm just happy that it was a success this franchise deserves the love
This movie really stuck with me, more than any other Evil Dead film. Like especially with it being a family this time. It made you feel like no one was safe.
Excellent video ^^
I do still enjoy this film, although I did wish it was a little more unique. Aside from the setting and characters, the general plot is still the same as most of the other films, and while that's not inherently a problem, I do think it kinda struggles to give itself a distinct voice. Aside from that, I had a good time first time watching.
I really think it’s between Scream and Evil Dead as the two best horror franchises from top to bottom.
To me, this was scary and disturbing. As a mother, my version of hell would be me being possessed and killing my kids. Makes my stomach hurl. I absolutely loved this movie lol
Deadite Ellie was certainly the highlight of the film to me. Very quotable too.
Loved her performance in the film
It's more than worthy. One of the most enjoyable horrors in recent years and the performances were outstanding.
I love how you keep peppering more of your top ten favorite films throughout each of your newer videos.
The most consistent horror franchise despite shifting tones, but still great quality and Rise is definitely a worthy addition. Thanx!!!
I felt strange watching this film, it’s not that I didn’t enjoy it… rather for the first time with an Evil Dead experience, I wasn’t really surprised. Perhaps that’s due to me being jaded at this point, but even the 10 year old remake managed to be unexpected in its methodology even though nearly the exact same events happen. I don’t know how to describe it… there were also some glaring plot holes. Perhaps I just need time to let Rise grow on me
Every film, comic, video game, tv show, and licensed shampoo bottle in the Evil Dead franchise is fun in its own way and I'll always be pumped for whatever comes next
I love how to have Resident Evil Dead Aim music in the background like no one else seems to know what that is
Thanks for the amazing video Matt ❤
Thank you Matt!
Looking forward to those retrospectives on tbe Demons franchise.
Just saw them for the first time last year & loved them
I like it. A lot of fans don't. And a lot of fans are saying they like the 2013 remake more. I don't. I honestly like 'Rise' more. I can't put my finger on why, but I do.
Loved the use of Mike Stoklasa's, "I REMEMBER THAT!!!"
I knew you would say Evil Dead 2 was the greatest of time lol, I used to think Army of darkness was top but watching them again last year, I have changed my mind, part 2 is indeed the best. Rise really surprised me, I thought it was going to be rubbish or meh at best, but I really enjoyed it. Evil Dead franchise is one horror series that doesn't have a bad movie, I worry like you if they keep making more then they might drop the ball, I really hope that doesn't happen and they maintain the high quality. You said you'd talk about the TV show next, but I've always considered Drag Me To Hell a secret Evil Dead movie, spin off if you will, it pretty much has all the traits you'd find in an Evil Dead movie, it would be interesting if you did a video on that.
You've convinced me. I think I need to do a rewatch to see if my order changes.
Yeah you should, this month would be the perfect month to go through them all again, you might find yourself surprised at how your list turns out. @@karl_alan
Good video! I think you did a good job discussing both the film itself and kind of details surrounding it. I'm glad I was able to see both the 2013 and Rise in theaters, though my theater for Rise was empty and that was a bit disappointing to see. I think that this film can be a good entry point into the series for anyone who hasn't seen them yet; the very beginning might be confusing I suppose but you'll learn the rules and stuff throughout.
After Army of Darkness, Evil Dead Rise might just be my 2nd favourite film in the franchise. Its characters and story are so good.The only one that really gives it competition in my eyes for that 2nd place ranking is Evil Dead 2. Which I also love.
Agree with you here.
Believe it or not, it was my late mother who rented EVIL DEAD 2 for me and my brothers when we were kids. I have no idea why, but I am so grateful to her for not only making us fans of that film, but lifelong fans of Bruce Campbell.
I wish Ash vs. The Evil Dead wasn't cancelled
Not everything needs to be a big interconnected universe building up to an avengers style crossover
That being said, I would like to see Ash, Mia, and other protags meet up to fight evil across time in some sort of shared universe crossover 👉👈
Evil Dead is probably my favorite horror franchise. I love the original trilogy, the remake is one of the better horror remakes out there (although, obviously not touching the likes of John Carpenter's The Thing or Cronenberg's Fly) and Ash vs. Evil Dead was ton of fun, probably one of my personal favorite tv-shows (at least in the very specific genre of "tv-show sequels to movies").
Rise was... fine, but super generic. It kinda continues the trajectory started by the remake of trying to play the premise more straight and be a "real horror movie", rather than a crazy horror comedy like Bruce Campbell starring instalments were, but with the remake I accepted that more, since it helped it to have a different identity from those and was still very over-the-top movie. Meanwhile, Rise is by the end kinda nothing experience. Doesn't help it was clearly supposed to originally be a low-budget direct-to-streaming movie, so while the production values are decent by those standards, it clearly has to be sparing, when it comes to big horror money-shots, which would be fine with a different movie, but I come into Evil Dead expecting a wild ride, which this didn't really give me until the very end for five minutes.
I don't to want say I hated it, but at the same time, I kinda don't want to include it in any future Evil Dead marathons of mine and would rather see the franchise be put to rest than continue in this style.
But, since they are obviously going to make more, could we at least get creative deadite designs back? I'm so tired of "a person rolled in a puddle of mud few minutes and was then given yellow contacts" look from both this and the remake.
Got so distracted by The Judgement Day's music in the background in the best way possible lol
I saw this in the theater earlier this year and I thoroughly enjoyed it, obviously nothing will top the Raimi/Campbell movies, this is still a solid entry for me.
this vid got me thinking, is Evil Dead the most consistently good horror franchise? I dont think i have heard a bad thing about any of the movies.
When the Necronomicon turns into a Dark Souls mimic.
I can sit here honestly with my fellow nerds and say that this film evil dead rises was the first movie in a long while that some what scared me and definitely made my skin crawl this movie was creepy af but a really good horror film
In my humble opinion my ideal evil dead is evil dead 2013, evil dead rise, ash vs evil dead and the evil dead 2022 video game
W use of the The Other Side for the intro song
I loved it, easily one of my favorites
Your movie taste it impeccable dude
Evil Dead Rise is my favorite Evil Dead movie
I think this is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen ❤❤
So, what do y’all think is gonna be this year’s History of Unmade Movies video? My vote is a three-way tie between Child’s Play, Predator and maybe Scream. Or George Romero’s Dead Series, although that would probably be 2 hours long.
I met Lee at an event in Dublin a few months ago. Got a free evil dead rise tee because I got caught in a rain shower 😂 asked him a few questions and got to see the hero book from the movie. He's a really nice guy
Damn, not even this video is safe from the judgement day
Music kicked in and I was waiting for the Judgment Day to show up. Where's Rhea?
Great video you did here. Well done, I enjoyed it a lot.
This was my first evil dead movie and I'm planning on binge watching the rest for the last week of October because y'know, Halloween. And it's legitimately great! I've seen clips, and I read that evil dead- marvel zombies book so I was vaguely aware of what the franchise is about but this movie I was practically dragged to go see very much exceeded my expectations, especially considering I really don't care too much for horror movies.
Evil Dead is the only horror franchise I know that has not one bad entry!
I hope I haven't jinxed it now! 😅
I absolutely love Evil dead rise ❤
Movie for me
1) Evil Dead 2
2) Army Of Darkness
3) Evil Dead Rise
4) Evil Dead 2013
5) Evil Dead 1981
Genial video
what is the track that plays at 2:30, i've got it stuck in my head but im not what the title is
During my Spooktober watches this year, I rewatched all the Evil Dead movies before finally diving into Rise. Now having watched all of them in more or less a row (2 reigns supreme) I can say this is probably my least favorite. That being said, it's still a really good and fun movie with some great performances and blood. I think it says a lot about the Evil Dead franchise that because there are very few films, they're able to always be a delight and not overstay their welcome. I am interested in seeing where the franchise goes from here. To me, Raimi's plan sounds similar to Predator where each film gives a new setting and character while keeping the basic essentials. To me I think it's the best of both worlds; it gives filmmakers a chance to add something new to the table while keeping the spirit of Evil Dead alive.
My ranking would be 2 > Evil Dead 2013 > Army of Darkness > The Evil Dead > Rise (but again they're all good movies).
Very excited for the final video in the Halloween series. And I finally watched The Blob and yes it rules.
I am also a huge evil dead fan I loved rise
ya this movie and the last one where sooo good always love 2 more but the new one was awesome.
It is one of my favorites in the franchise, right after the OG which is my all time fav horror movie. The 2013 remake is my least favorite but i enjoyed it regardless.
Evil dead Rise is a really cool movie. A worthy continuation of the franchise. I rank it at number three, behind 1 and 2. AOD and the reboot are fine movies but this one just feels better. I love the whole series and TV show however.😊😊😊
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS has me dyeing
Excellent movie!! Saw it in theaters and then on HBO MAX. Love it!
I definitely enjoyed it more than the remake that I felt was missing the dark comedy. There’s no replacing Bruce, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel.
I say just do what they did here, the next story with a new crop of characters
I enjoyed the TV series for what it was, but I couldn't help but feel like at a certain point the gore was becoming a distraction to it instead of a feature of it. Like the film franchise is known for being bloody sure, but the splatter felt like a tool being used to make them instead of the entire point but there were parts in the show where it really felt like entire segments were made just for the splatter.
Could really go for an animated movie to close out ash vs the evil dead. That way Bruce could come back and just voice act
"Horror's Greatest Franchise" Thank you :)
(There are maybe two or three good Halloween movies and every Scream after the first one is the same).
I enjoyed this movie
(Evil Dead) Rise for the Judgement Day!
Another Evil Dead vid is here, people.
Did you recite the 3 “magic” words when you retrieved the book???
the movie has grown on me, but when i saw it opening night, the first gore scene didn't impress me and felt like a step back from the rest of the series. And it definitely takes alot from Aliens & Evil Dead 2, but still telling the same story loop we al know, the Terminator series problem. Afraid to take risk out side the familiarity. But it shot well, and well acted and I like the single location being outside the cabin. But it tried to market it self as gory film and it one of the least in the series.
overall feeling:
Evil Dead 2
Evil Dead Remake
Army Of Darkness
Drag Me To Hell
Evil Dead Rise
Evil Dead (original--doesnt mean it bad, just 2 destroys it)
Love your content, and I haven’t watched this video yet but I wanted to give my thoughts. Army of Darkness is my favourite of the franchise, a film I grew up with. 1&2 I came to appreciate a lot as I got older. Evil Dead 2013 was amazing too, so brutal and intense with a fantasticly dark atmosphere. Evil Dead Rise, for me is a very mixed bag. I have to say, the CGI really lets the film down because it’s so obvious it’s there. The most glaring effects are the demons eyes, it rivals Superman’s moustache removal in its awfulness. I reckon they could’ve spent more time doing practical effects, not CGI. I loved the atmosphere in Rise, very cool to have it set in an apartment building. Sound design is very good, they nailed the body horror audio. The elevator scene was superbly done, and I wish they hadn’t shown so much of the marauder, it looked a bit silly, not a fan. Last but not least most of the scares were really good, typical evil dead style.
Bruce Campbell said if Sam Raimi returned to direct he would come back as Ash
i dont think they knew what they had in alyssa sutherland, she was amazing stole every scene and i just wanted more of her, the clusterfuck monster at the end didnt work for me i would have preferred just ellie stalking them,. she was far more menacing, i liked evil dead rise, there were some great scenes, the camera through the spyhole in the door was amazing, i needed more stuff like that, however i cant ignore the fact that evil dead 2013 was better in pretty much every way, scarier, more tension, more suspense, rise showcases how good the 2013 movie was and i think is only getting some real love now because almost nobody liked it at the time
I think a Prequel would be the way to go.
Do the stoey about the writing of the original Necronomican.
Halloween 's my favorite time of the year and given my incredible affinity for both Halloween and comics, I thought why not combine both. Hence this vid wherein I talk about some Halloween-esque, nightmare inducing supervillains: czcams.com/video/_fqDgvk60Ww/video.html
Not a bad film but I didn't particularly connect or care about any of the characters and it was disappointing the building was so sparsely populated. The final monster was underwhelming too.
Yooo please make a video on skinamarink
Can't put my finger on why, but I was cold to the characters and turned it off after about 30 minutes. It's rare that I don't finish a film once started. Almost reminded me of Demoni 2, but not quite as good, and Demoni 2 wasn't as good as Demoni 1.
I found Evil Dead 2013 great and did connect to that story.
I rank it third in the franchise.
Eyy
Evil Dead Rise of the Australian/New Zealand accents
No Campbell = no Evil Dead
I ranked Rise at the bottom. I actually ranked Evil Dead 2 at the top even though my rating for 2013 is the highest. Evil Dead 2 is just my favorite.
THERE'S A THIRD RAIMI!?
Evil Dead and Evil Dead Rises are great additions to the series. Good blends of grindhouse horror and dark comedy
I think I enjoyed Rise much more than the 2013 remake?
I think it’s a fantastic horror film, but to me it was missing most of the hallmarks that make evil dead feel like evil dead, the humor wasn’t as present, the setting was wildy different, and I didn’t feel like it connected to the original story in a way that felt solid. On its own I think it’s AMAZING. I just, kind of don’t think of it as an evil dead film if that makes sense?
tea
Great movie, 3 daughters with aunt fighting off their possess mom in apartment building
This movie was a pleasant surprise, and I hope we follow the same characters on the sequel, Beth has the potential to be a great final girl icon
I would love A demons remake cause that movie was really good.
A remake would ruin it.
@philyeary8809 I mean I hear you man but still I wouldn't mind it
I love Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, but I'm not a big gore guy and I'm saddened that hyper realistic gore has become associated with this Franchise, because it's moved a long way from a pencil in the ankle.
This was such a great film, much better than the overrated 2013 film
Me and my dad watched it twice once in theaters and once at home. We really have it a chance. But it just didn't feel like an evil dead movie to us. Just a meh movie in general
Some people really hated certain concepts and points in this film. I love almost every aspect of it. especially with it being a good companion film to the 2013 film. Once you recognize that it’s Beth’s story and identify that with the other ideas, everything makes sense. It’s crazy that some people cannot use a critical thinking brain to do so.
I think Evil Dead rise is okay evil dead movie.
Honestly the story idea about the priests vs Deadites could be really fun and a nice change. Especially if Ash is time displaced like the director hinted at.
