Evil Dead Rise (Cronin 2023)

Evil Dead Rise is well constructed and entertaining. It features a few minor pro to some of the tired tropes of possession films, ultimately the film is sloppy both ideologically and in terms of plot. Overall it still reinforces the tired arguments that women are only worthwhile if serving as mothers.
