Evil Dead Rise is sure to give horror fans some level of satisfaction as it hits many horror movie requirements. Whether you’re a jump scare lover or a gore hound, it’s bound to please your addiction to creepy scares.

If your a fan of the Evil Dead franchise you know very well it plays the demonic possession card to all it’s story backdrops, usually by way of the infamous “Book of the Dead” or as it’s known to the more astute horror fan, “Necronomicon Ex-mortis”. Even though it keeps with the demon possessed tradition, the film does have a more zombie feel to it. With a bit of a zombie survival tone to it, the film takes it even one step further with a Demon boss level type monster, like something straight out of a Left 4 Dead video game.

But the film doesn’t stray too far from it’s roots as Evil Dead Rise is filled with plenty of references and nods to the rest of the franchise done in great fashion. From chainsaws to double barrel shotguns your bound to get a reference or two to the older films and what made them cult classics. There’s even a scene that pays homage to another horror classic “The Shining” that involves an elevator and lots of blood. All in all this movie hits all the right marks and is bound to push that fan service button for any horror enthusiast.
