Evil Dead fans have been desperate for a first look at the upcoming sequel, Evil Dead Rise, and while a teaser trailer is probbaly still a ways off, director Lee Cronin has now shared a new official still.
The image introduces the family that will be forced to contend with a new breed of dreaded Deadites. Something tells us quite a few (most?) of these guys will come to messy ends before the credits roll!
Evil Dead Rise is set to hit theaters on April 21, 2023. The horror flick will ditch the usual forest setting and move the gory action to the city, as "two estranged sisters’ reunion is cut short when flesh-possessing demons thrust them into a battle for survival."
Alyssa Sutherland (The Mist, Vikings) and Lily Sullivan (Picnic at Hanging Rock, Jungle) will play the lead roles.
Sam Raimi's microbudget original is still considered one of the best horror movies of all time, with direct sequels Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness as well as recent TV show Ash vs. The Evil Dead upping the comedic elements. The well-received 2013 remake was a far more serious affair, but it's not known which direction Rise will head in.
