Evil Dead is a franchise that in my opinion has been consistently great, and Evil Dead Rise continues the trend. A very solid sequel. Takes a while to get going but the buildup needs to be there for the Demonic Horror elements to fully kick in. Sure the movie has some familiar beats to the franchise, but the apartment setup and the family dynamics make things a bit more interesting, as well as the deaths and references.
It's nicely shot and despite some dumb character moments here and there, the film still excels enough to keep you engaged the entire time with its breakneck pacing in the second half. Really great special effects and good performances. This film proves Evil Dead can continue to work without Bruce Campbell.
8/10.
