Evil Dead Rise won’t hit theaters until April 2023, but Bruce Campbell gave fans a Halloween treat with a first official look at the new film.
While a fan of the Evil Dead should have basked in the blood-soaked glory of Evil Dead Rise This Halloween, the film’s strategic release to cinematic release means the latest installment in the franchise won’t hit theaters until April. However, Bruce Campbell couldn’t let the season go by without giving Evil Dead fans get a first look at the film with a creepy, gory image from the film.
although Bruce Campbell does not appear in Evil Dead Rise he was just as much a part of the film’s production as the last one Evil Dead movies and TV shows. As a producer on the brand new Evil Dead story, in addition to original director Sam Raimi, Campbell has regularly shared some teasing about how he added some essentials Evil Dead bits and pieces to the production. From the new image it looks like, as with those previous projects, there will be a lot of scare and a lot of blood.
Four decades later The Evil Death became the stuff of horror legend, Evil Dead Rise will bring a new feel to the franchise, with all new characters and, most importantly, a brand new setting. Gone is the infamous cabin in the woods with the action this time centered around the Deadites of the Necronomicon. Ex-Mortis will invade a tower block in the suburbs and literally take the horror to a whole new level.
Will Evil Dead Rise be a worthy addition to the franchise?

The Evil Death was rebooted in 2013, and while the movie was good enough, it lagged somewhat behind the original movies and the Ash vs Evil Dead TV series. The main failure of the film was that it lacked the comedic elements of the film Evil Dead franchise, which were just as important to the success of the original film as the horror. It looks like Bruce Campbell definitely gave some flair to the final production this time around. He previously said:
“It’s a house of fire, that’s it. It will terrify you. It’s urban, not a cabin in the woods. An urban high-rise apartment is the cabin. It’s a single mom and her family and it will be bad juju there. It’s gonna be awful, but in the best way. The trick was to try and keep some of the Evil Dead legacy in filmmaking, so I was there for the post-production sound we did in Europe. So we sneaked in some of the original Evil Dead sound effects from the original movie, because we now have them all digitally. So my job is to sneak things in and infect his movie with some of the Evil Dead stuff. My vote is also in it.”
Evil Dead Rise was originally slated to premiere on HBO Max sometime now, but the test screenings were so well received that the studio made the decision to switch it to a cinematic release. This means fans will get to see the Deadites on the big screen again, but will have to wait until April 21, 2023.
