As promised, the official trailer for director Lee Cronin’s (The Hole in the Ground) Evil Dead Rise has been unleashed today, the film coming exclusively to theaters on April 21, 2023. Producer Bruce Campbell teased just yesterday, “I’ve seen the movie in all of its glory and in case you’re wondering, yes it is amazing… and yes, it is the scariest one yet.” You can watch the official Evil Dead Rise trailer below, which calls to mind Fede Alvarez’s exceptional Evil Dead remake from 2013. It looks like the tone here is gruesome terror rather than any of the horror-comedy stylings Sam Raimi introduced in both Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, with Evil Dead Rise gunning to indeed be the scariest film in the franchise thus far.
