I felt SO BAD for Ellie, she feels like the one to least deserve the horrid things that happened to her. She was already a SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE, was being evicted, then her estranged sister simply dumps ANOTHER problem on her back, and then ALL OF THIS
That's why she was the perfect host. She was already so mentally exhausted, a small possession will act as a catalyst for the most incredibly self destructive psychotic breakdown intensified by a full on possession.
This is part of why Cheryl, Mia, and Ellie are some of the scariest Deadites, because they are, despite their flaws, _good people_ who are only taken because they're the easiest to wear down mentally.
To me this is the most tragic Evil Dead by far. "Don't let it take my babies." But she only saves one, and even then plot armor is the only reason Cassie lives. That's what's so incredible about Rise, making it a family instead of a friend group just makes each loss so much more impactful.
@@ComfortZoneComic - originals were the best. The reboot was just ok. Nothing too special. Subpar level gore that was nearly all exposed by the trailer. A gender swap that kinda worked. The power of love is what saved the protagonist. Cheesy dialogue that worked back in the 80/90s. Not so much in 2013
@@ComfortZoneComic nah, the first is a snooze fest. I think nostalgia is clouding your memory. Eh, to each their I own, I guess. But, I rewatched the first 3 before evil dead rise and only enjoyed the latter two. First is boring but i appreciate it for its ideas and impact, second introduced me to camp and horror comedy-loved it, and the third is good but could barely be considered an Evil Dead movie. Evil dead 2013 was great, and this one is good. And both feel like actual Evil Dead movies.
5:08 for those that saw this in theaters, this was the LOUDEST title card I have ever heard in my life. Possibly the loudest single noise I've ever heard in any theater in general. It was freakin amazing lol
Something tells me that you didn't get to see the first Mortal Kombat movie. I swear people were blown out of their seats and heads exploded when the song started.
Not sure if James noticed but each family member getting possessed represents a different generation of Evil Dead. The mom representing Rise with red and white eyes, Bridget with the brown and gold eyes from 2013 and Danny with the classic white eyes from the Raimi trilogy cool little detail I noticed in the film
I genuinely love that the movie explains that there are actually Three Books, effectively making all three Evil Deads canon. Granted I kind of wish they also showed that each book has some kind of different effect outside of possession, but I'll take what I can get.
James didn't talk about it sadly, but the deadites in this film can't be killed like in the other two films. They're so unkillable the grinded up giblets of the marauder are still moving at the end of the film.
Just put the remaining head into a vault. I suspect that was what is the vault at the beginning of the film. Deadites of the past.@@ArcherSyndromeGaming
Honestly I think I the three being the same book grounds it - I mean if each book gave different powers there would be all these seeming inconsistencies between the lore of each movie. One canonic lore that is set in different locales with different people is what makes the Evil Dead what it is imo.
I'm perfectly happy with the idea that it doesn't need to always be in a cabin, or always with the same characters. Just like Lemarchand's Box in a Hellraiser movie, all you need is the book to work. The setting can be any place or time.
The shot of just Ellie persuading her daughter to open the door for her is just downright terrifying. And that DREADFUL smile and the deceptively innocent "Open up :))" was the GOURMET CHERRY ON TOP! What a haunting and incredibly performance!
I love how industrial Evil Dead Rise is. The run down high building aesthetic really does drive home how helpless these characters are, and the performances in this are probably the best in the whole franchise. At least the best out of those whose names aren’t Bruce Campbell
hearing Bruce Campbell in the audio recording screaming about the caution of the book is chilling. Imagining what an older ash could be doing in that time and even interacting with the Catholic church is awesome. That little cameo is enough to provide a fan with more history and fun. The fact that it specifically relates back to Army of Darkness is pretty cool as well. It tells us that ash time traveled again at some point. Which is more than likely after the ending of the TV series. We could assume that he enjoyed the wasteland, before getting lonely or maybe accidentally fucking with a book again. Leading him to be teleported through time or maybe specifically to the date of that recording. Where he has another adventure and possibly restores humanity back to what it was. Knowing the ending of the TV series is pretty bleak and underwhelming. On the film itself, i feel like it is a perfect addition to franchise. It feels more in line with the 2013 film, but taking heavy inspiration from Evil Dead 2. As it incorporates more campiness like the sequels. I really enjoyed the setting and the twist elements on previously established concepts. Such as the reading of the necronomicon through the vinyl records. Or the door being another form of the chained cellar. I actually enjoyed the marauder and thought it was a very twisted element with the "family"/"motherhood" themes. This is also where the film shines. 2013 had its simplistic story and upped the violence. This one traded some violence for a more focused character story. It feels like a great companion piece to the 2013 remake. Evil Dead is still one of the best and strongest horror franchise that hasnt had one bad entry.
16:55 When Lucy meowed, I was just so happy because of Lucy’s cuteness. Can you like make a compilation of all of Lucy’s meows? I know it doesn’t fit with the theme of the channel but it would be able to make my day whenever i am feeling down.
Maybe if we email asking for a Lucy compilation, we could get one? We have compilations for the Golden Chainsaw winners, the Dull Machete earners, the "all out _ fights", and all sorts of other compilations, why not a Lucy compilation? For the seratonin, James!
Omg I was praying I saw this comment. I didn’t know if that’s who he was referring to. God I love that my favorite creators watch my other favorites and make it like its own universe 🤣🤣
16:53 officially the best Lucy Cat cameo. Poor baby’s horrified! I think the idea of the Marauder is worse than the reality. I feel like if you read a description of it and let your mind do the rest it would be horrifying, but actually looking at it onscreen is just like eh, there it is.
Yeah I mean, seeing a pile of your beloved family's corpses all in one flesh blob taunting you and tormenting you is a concept that easily could have been made more terrifying
Lucy said what we were all thinking about pet deaths in horror movies. When the kitty showed up, I was so scared for it. So glad that this isn't one of those horror movies. Looking at you, Smile!
The elevator scene, despite all the other horrific things that happen, is what stuck with me. Ellie's possession is terrifying, especially the final pose that the elevator cables force her into.
I got to meet Alyssa Sutherland at her first con after the movie came out, Spooky Empire in Orlando. I got a picture with her and her autograph where she wrote, "Don't let it get my babies" on it. I also am a judge for the new Media Film Festival and she agreed to do a video with me to announce who the winner was for 2023. Awesome woman!
I love this movie so much. This whole franchise is great, but this film takes it to another level. Alyssa Sutherland absolutely nailed her Deadite performance, and finding she chose to base it on how Jim Carrey played The Mask made it even better. She certainly captures the same energy.
I love that this movie continued the 2013 requel's theme of the deadites representing something deeper to the protagonist. For Mia, it was her struggle for sobriety from drug addiction. For Beth, it was fear of motherhood. Each of their final bosses embodied those fears: Mia's was an evil version of herself and Beth's was "the worst version of family imaginable." In the end, they both realize that they cannot run or hide, but have to directly confront and conquer their personal demons.
Quoting my wife after that phrase in the movie: "What, mommy joined the marines?" US marine recruits are often called "Maggots" as derogatory, until they graduate their training. To be honest, I don't know how she does know that, since she doesn't have any military background, and neither of us from US to begin with! Still made me cackle.
God damn James is killing it with his narrations, performances and overall presentation these days. He's such an incredible ball of energy, knowledge, humor and he's magnetic AF. These videos are so much more than summaries of the films, or even explanations of how they were made. I can't put it into words, but dang James is a powerhouse.
It's weird rewatching the early kill counts because even though they're still entertaining, I'm like, "dude, where were you keeping all this charisma hidden??"
Ellie is officially the strongest person (possibly second to Ash) to be possessed by Deadites. Her will was so strong that she actually had to be KILLED before she could be possessed.
This movie sucked. So a mysterious earthquake just happens out of nowhere and then cracks the floor??? Like come on. No one outside the apartment seems worried and then a kid just thinks it's a great idea to travel down to the floor... It's terrible writing. Makes no logical sense. Terrible plot.
@@coldbeing5420 ikr? like how can anyone take this as a serious horror movie. I was laughing my ass off the whole duration, actually fully enjoyed it as comedy horror cause it wasn't making sense most of the time
@@lonerebeI Have a group of kids who go into a cabin and bust out a tape recorder they found in the basement in the middle of the woods. Seems way more believable than the plot that happened in this movie. Like no one else in the apartment on the different floors were worried? No desk clerks? Like come on. Make it make sense. The scariest movies are the ones that are more believable
The Evil Dead franchise has yet to miss. The whole franchise has been top tier, and it's crazy given its humble beginnings, but as long as Sam and Bruce are involved as producers, I think we're in good hands for the future of the franchise.
Tbh I really did not like rise theres a lot of plot holes and it just didn’t feel like evil dead and wasn’t very thrilling and fun imo and some things just didn’t go anywhere wasn’t terrible but not great I thought but I’m very bias because Bruce Campbell and ash was what elevated these movies for me
It's so refreshing to watch an Evil Dead movie with thematic depth. Ellie's family gets tragically torn apart. Meanwhile, Beth is starting her own family. The sisters are inverted reflections of each other. The final showdown is a pregnant Beth versus a deadite Ellie who is carrying her deadite children in her body - as if the kids had returned to the mother's womb. Also, the camera placement, editing, lighting, makeup effects, sound design, and score are all excellent. I truly ❤this movie.
It makes me so happy that there are still Evil Dead movies being made and they're good. Some of my earliest introductions to horror when I was way too young to watch them and it's magic to be able to see them in the cinema with friends now!
Gotta say, love the addition to the intro line because seeing the behind the scenes stuff has to be one of my favorite parts of the kill counts. Keep killin it dead meat folks!
I love this flick. The fact that it takes place is an apartment complex, which is something i have a reoccurring nightmare about, makes it thats much more creepy
Fun fact: Alyssa Sutherland said that the “titty sucking parasites” line was her favorite line she said in the film. How do I know? The question was asked at a horror convention panel in Indiana!
One detail I absolutely love is that all three Deadite designs are present here. Danny becomes one that looks closer to the original design, Bridgett becomes one that looks like the 2013 one, and of course, there's Ellie's design.
This was one of the most stressful movies I have EVER seen in a movie theatre. Watched it twice and each time I cringed at gore and jumped at the freaky jump scares. Sooo good
Honestly I had a blast watching this movie opening night! And that “titty sucking parasites” line got an auditable laugh from the audience including myself 😂 Awesome work covering this James!!
I really like this direction the Evil Dead series is taking. After Bruce retired his role as Ash, each movie following a new group of shmucks can really give perspective on how widespread the Deadite's power has extended like the show was doing.
Fun fact: Deadite Ellie, Bridget, and Danny all had different eye colors to represent the three eras of Evil Dead. Ellie has the new red eyes, Bridget has the yellow eyes from the 2013 movie, and Danny has the classic white ones
Yes! Honestly my favourite film of last year. Everything I could ask for in an Evil Dead film: plenty of creepy scenes, buckets of blood, a cast completely dedicated to the type of film they're making, a nice dose of dark humour, and an absolutely batshit crazy act 3. In my opinion, that's 5 for 5 good films in the Evil Dead franchise (plus one really good show).
An interesting point is that the Deadites have the various eye colours from the previous Evil Dead films. You can see it on the marauder. Some parts have white eyes and some have orange eyes.
This was one of my favourite cinema going experiences of last year. The sound design in 5.1 surround sound and seeing what happens in the film made me squirm in my seat and I loved it
I went to the movies and their was only 2 other people watching with me. It was great gave it a scarier vibe specifically when I would hear something behind me
i saw this twice in cinema and i just loved it. i found it to be one of the saddest horror movies ive watched due to the brilliant family bonding moments throughout. Ellie deserved so much better i cant help but feel awful for what happened to her. I dont often feel too attached or heartbroken for horror characters but this one got me
Every time I go back to this movie I'm floored with how good the performances are. I think Alyssa Sutherland is one of my favorite horror movie actors alongside like, Robert Englund as Freddy and Matthew Lillard as Stu/William Afton
I'm glad this went to theatres cuz it was great to see it on the big screen. One of the best theatre experiences last year even tho there was a ton of great stuff.
I just want to say thank you James and your whole crew y’all have provided me a lot of entertainment for the past 5 years and shown me all kinds of new horror movies I haven’t seen so from the bottom of my 21 almost 22 year old heart thank you
Gotta love the fact that the most replayed part of the video was everyone going back and listing to Lucy give that cute little meow again. We all had same braincell for that moment.
The 2013 movie showed that it is possible to un-possess people, so kills shouldn't count until their body/the deadite is killed, or at least receives a fatal blow for a human.
Evil Dead Rise takes us back to the classic style of horror, delivering a film that fulfills the desires of horror enthusiasts with its nostalgic approach, combining old-school gore with a captivating storyline.
13:00 "I watched (Jim Carrey and) the Mask, added a little (sort of) hilarity and joy and a celebration of just...carnage." I hope she knows how accurate her statement was with how Big Head behaved in the original comics.
9:47 how can it be ash in another time? didn't he already return to the future? or are there multiple ashs spread throughout time? are there multiple universes?

what are they btw

That's one of the main rules of good horror. Bad things happen to good people. Otherwise there are no stakes, no investment and therefore no horror.
That's why she was the perfect host. She was already so mentally exhausted, a small possession will act as a catalyst for the most incredibly self destructive psychotic breakdown intensified by a full on possession.
%100 the landlord was on his way to say her rents gone up $400 before she got bamboozled

@@coldbeing5420 Guess you've never watched a fictional movie in your life lmao
@@lonerebeI Have a group of kids who go into a cabin and bust out a tape recorder they found in the basement in the middle of the woods. Seems way more believable than the plot that happened in this movie. Like no one else in the apartment on the different floors were worried? No desk clerks? Like come on. Make it make sense. The scariest movies are the ones that are more believable
“leave her looking like mario mid jump”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bro james is hella funny omg
"It moves, it drinks a little bit of blood."
Your Necronomicon can have a little blood, as a treat.
The Evil Dead franchise has yet to miss. The whole franchise has been top tier, and it's crazy given its humble beginnings, but as long as Sam and Bruce are involved as producers, I think we're in good hands for the future of the franchise.
❤exactly 💯💯
Yup it’s the best horror franchise imo
Tbh I really did not like rise theres a lot of plot holes and it just didn’t feel like evil dead and wasn’t very thrilling and fun imo and some things just didn’t go anywhere wasn’t terrible but not great I thought but I’m very bias because Bruce Campbell and ash was what elevated these movies for me
Honestly, the only miss could possibly be Army of Darkness.
@@ZacharyResky Nah I love that movie I know a lot of people don’t tho
It's so refreshing to watch an Evil Dead movie with thematic depth.
Ellie's family gets tragically torn apart. Meanwhile, Beth is starting her own family. The sisters are inverted reflections of each other.
The final showdown is a pregnant Beth versus a deadite Ellie who is carrying her deadite children in her body - as if the kids had returned to the mother's womb.
Also, the camera placement, editing, lighting, makeup effects, sound design, and score are all excellent. I truly ❤this movie.

“Ya know?….If you’re a sick f***” 😂
😂
says the guy who kill counts for a living!😂
It makes me so happy that there are still Evil Dead movies being made and they're good. Some of my earliest introductions to horror when I was way too young to watch them and it's magic to be able to see them in the cinema with friends now!
Gotta say, love the addition to the intro line because seeing the behind the scenes stuff has to be one of my favorite parts of the kill counts. Keep killin it dead meat folks!
5:08
What we were all here for. I've been waiting months for that TITLE CARD, and I was not disappointed.
...and I loved the follow-up at 21:50!
I love this flick. The fact that it takes place is an apartment complex, which is something i have a reoccurring nightmare about, makes it thats much more creepy
10:40 "Looking like mario mid jump, caught me off guard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
James: isn’t that right Lucy?
Lucy’s meow: SO IT WASNT JUST ME?!
I absolutely love Ellie’s face when she gets stabbed in the shoulder. Just like “seriously?”
Fun fact: Alyssa Sutherland said that the “titty sucking parasites” line was her favorite line she said in the film. How do I know? The question was asked at a horror convention panel in Indiana!
I loved that line too tbh, my favorite though is "mommy's with the maggots now". Fucking CHILLS every time!
OMG same
I love lucy's little mew at 16:54
Lucy I am so happy to see you
One detail I absolutely love is that all three Deadite designs are present here. Danny becomes one that looks closer to the original design, Bridgett becomes one that looks like the 2013 one, and of course, there's Ellie's design.
This was one of the most stressful movies I have EVER seen in a movie theatre. Watched it twice and each time I cringed at gore and jumped at the freaky jump scares. Sooo good
Actors who can control their bodies to a level like this is terrifying and amazing at the same time. It definitely makes the deadites so terrifying
Honestly I had a blast watching this movie opening night! And that “titty sucking parasites” line got an auditable laugh from the audience including myself 😂
Awesome work covering this James!!
Best movie theater experience I've had in yearssss
I really like this direction the Evil Dead series is taking. After Bruce retired his role as Ash, each movie following a new group of shmucks can really give perspective on how widespread the Deadite's power has extended like the show was doing.
Fun fact: Deadite Ellie, Bridget, and Danny all had different eye colors to represent the three eras of Evil Dead. Ellie has the new red eyes, Bridget has the yellow eyes from the 2013 movie, and Danny has the classic white ones
Lucy stealing my heart at 16:53 with that meow 😮😮😭❤
That was so precious. I literally said, "AW!" out loud. We love a cameo from Lucy.
A lot of respect for the entire cast and for giving a great performance, really phenomenal acting, especially Alyssa Sutherland!
Yes! Honestly my favourite film of last year. Everything I could ask for in an Evil Dead film: plenty of creepy scenes, buckets of blood, a cast completely dedicated to the type of film they're making, a nice dose of dark humour, and an absolutely batshit crazy act 3.
In my opinion, that's 5 for 5 good films in the Evil Dead franchise (plus one really good show).
The title card with the deadite floating was such a badass intro
This my favorite horror of last year, best horror franchise
@@Chuck_EL For sure. That demonic choir too 🔥
I love how when the boy finds a book in a room WITH CROSSES HANGING FROM THE CEILING he just decides it’s a good idea to take the book
Curious Caucasian is a very deadly disease
Let’s say that the book has influence to have people take it
"mama's crawling with the maggots now" the possessed mother says
An interesting point is that the Deadites have the various eye colours from the previous Evil Dead films. You can see it on the marauder. Some parts have white eyes and some have orange eyes.
This was one of my favourite cinema going experiences of last year. The sound design in 5.1 surround sound and seeing what happens in the film made me squirm in my seat and I loved it
I went to the movies and their was only 2 other people watching with me. It was great gave it a scarier vibe specifically when I would hear something behind me
Amazing theater experience
I never thought there would be a Cody Ko reference in a Dead Meat video. Thank you James!
i saw this twice in cinema and i just loved it. i found it to be one of the saddest horror movies ive watched due to the brilliant family bonding moments throughout. Ellie deserved so much better i cant help but feel awful for what happened to her. I dont often feel too attached or heartbroken for horror characters but this one got me
Lucy's Meow made my night. Thanks Dead Meat ;3
Woah! James got a cameo with the infamous Lucy?! She is jam packed so I’m shocked she did that with him
10:44 You are evil for that sound effect. PLEASE I CANT BREATH 😂
Funny too that she has a Mario hat in the number graphics
@@axelnilsson5124 OH MY GOD 😭 I didn't even see that
17:50 We need more „queens who can’t scream“ representation. 👏👏👏
Hearing James say "can't be arsed" is hilarious!
Really, it's "can't be asked" . . . coming from "not even my mother could ask me to do it"
Watched this at an overnight movie marathon
Evil dead is one of the few franchises where you can generally enjoy every single film in its own way
After this movie i'll never look to a cheese grater the same way again
This was one of my favorite horror movies last year! I love the Evil Dead franchise and this movie did not disappoint!!!
That "To the numbers bit" was amazing! You keep upping the bar. I love this channel
Lucy is a natural on camera! Another great Kill Count, and I really enjoyed the full movie. Awesome stuff!
Every time I go back to this movie I'm floored with how good the performances are. I think Alyssa Sutherland is one of my favorite horror movie actors alongside like, Robert Englund as Freddy and Matthew Lillard as Stu/William Afton
I'm glad this went to theatres cuz it was great to see it on the big screen. One of the best theatre experiences last year even tho there was a ton of great stuff.
Agreed my theater was packed when I saw the movie and I could tell everyone there was an evil dead fan
Facts!
5:08 I 100% agree, that is the world's greatest title card. It resembles a book cover and I love it
I kept replaying Lucy’s little meow. 🥹💕
I love it: "Who doesn't want to be covered in blood." Just the best for this young one lol
I just want to say thank you James and your whole crew y’all have provided me a lot of entertainment for the past 5 years and shown me all kinds of new horror movies I haven’t seen so from the bottom of my 21 almost 22 year old heart thank you
5:13 f**k yeah is right, james.
THAT. IS HOW YOU START A MOVIE RIGHT.
When she started reading the book word for word?? Fucking chills. Such a good start to a movie!
Forget one of the best deadite performances, Alyssa Sutherland has one of my favorite horror performances ever!
Facts
Rise was the perfect sequel! The impeccable mix of humor & horror along with Sutherland’s phenomenal performance was a pleasant surprise after 2013
Alyssa Sutherland killed this role, you can clearly tell she was having fun
5:07 havent even seen the movie but that really is one of the coolest title intros
The moment I saw the title card in theaters I NEEDED this kill count
Lucy is so cute! 😊 16:48
1:52 this was pretty funny
Purple cliff reference
Gotta love the fact that the most replayed part of the video was everyone going back and listing to Lucy give that cute little meow again. We all had same braincell for that moment.
The 2013 movie showed that it is possible to un-possess people, so kills shouldn't count until their body/the deadite is killed, or at least receives a fatal blow for a human.
Lucy deserves an emmy for that line read, chefs kiss!!! 👏🏾👏🏾🏆
I swear this one is my absolute favorite. Great gore, great final girl, excellent body horror, and awesome gags to the older movies.
Evil Dead Rise takes us back to the classic style of horror, delivering a film that fulfills the desires of horror enthusiasts with its nostalgic approach, combining old-school gore with a captivating storyline.
13:00 "I watched (Jim Carrey and) the Mask, added a little (sort of) hilarity and joy and a celebration of just...carnage."
I hope she knows how accurate her statement was with how Big Head behaved in the original comics.
9:47 how can it be ash in another time? didn't he already return to the future? or are there multiple ashs spread throughout time? are there multiple universes?
Maybe a reincarnation situation?
16:54
Aww that's cute respond of your pet cat.😊
