Evil Dead gets new life on Netflix.
Netflix’s horror movie catalog is growing in September 2024 with the addition of Evil Dead Rise, one of the strongest horror franchise reboots in recent years. Before Lee Cronin’s 2023 standalone sequel to Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead movies, the franchise had already been rebooted once in 2013. The underrated 2013 remake/reboot, Evil Dead, was helmed by Fede Álvarez, who recently rebooted another classic horror franchise with 2024’s hit standalone sequel Alien: Romulus.
Related Is Evil Dead Rise A Reboot Or Sequel? Evil Dead Rise has reinvigorated the franchise without Ash Williams, but is Mommy with the maggots in an Evil Dead sequel or reboot? Similar to horror movies like Abigail, Ready or Not, and Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead Rise humorously turns up the gore to full volume for an extremely fun viewing. While there is plenty of dark humor in Evil Dead Rise, primarily in the more absurd lines from Deadite Ellie, it doesn’t indulge itself in the franchise’s signature goofy humor as much as the Bruce Campbell-led The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and Ash vs Evil Dead entries.
Not only did Evil Dead Rise prove that the franchise can succeed without Bruce Campbell’s presence being a selling point, but it also gave more hope for the Evil Dead series to continue with more spinoffs in the future. Expanding on its success, Evil Dead Rise became the highest-grossing movie of the franchise in 2023.
How Evil Dead Rise's Success Compares To Other Recent Horror Franchise Reboots Evil Dead Rise's Success Is Comparable To The Recent Scream & Alien Reboots Evil Dead Rise is an inspiring case of a horror franchise reboot having both critical and commercial success without the return of any major established characters. While Bruce Campbell has a voice cameo, which may or may not include him playing Ash, it’s a tough-to-notice detail and wasn’t a big draw for the movie.
