'Evil Dead Rise' sets streaming date on Max.
Warner Bros. has announced that their horror film Evil Dead Rise will be making its way to the streaming service Max on June 23. The film, directed by Lee Cronin, will drop on the platform after originally getting a theatrical release this past April.
The fifth installment of the Evil Dead series from Sam Raimi, Evil Dead Rise follows a pair of estranged sisters, Beth and Ellie . As the logline from Warner Bros. states, the sister's "reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable." While the prior films had mostly taken place in wooded areas, Evil Dead Rise moves the setting for the series into the city.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The release on Max means that the film will finally arrive at the home that it was originally intended for. It was first announced in 2021 that Evil Dead Rise would drop on Warner Bros.' streaming platform - then known as HBO Max. Anticipation around the film was high, as Raimi, who was executive producing alongside his mainstay Bruce Campbell, had reportedly handpicked Cronin to helm the project.
Evil Dead Rise came to fruition after a number of other efforts to continue the franchise last seen during the television series Ash vs. Evil Dead in 2018. However, given the film's success, Campbell has hinted that there are potentially more films in the works, and there are also plans for an animated Ash vs. Evil Dead revival. So it seems there may be no shortage of Evil Dead content on the horizon.
