Evil Dead Rise Secures R-Rating for Violence and Bloody Gore!
It tradition of The Evil Dead being absolutely bloody disgusting with an overload of gore and violence it comes at no surprise that the upcoming film secures a R-Rating…
CelebnMovies247.com reports recently movies have been dummied down to get more audience goers like the upcoming MCU introduction of Blade, but not the Evil Dead Rise.
The Evil Dead has been a constant presence at the higher end of the ratings scale, with the original 1981 movie gaining and maintaining a NC-17 rating and all subsequent movies including the 2013 reboot gaining an R-rating for the excess use of blood, gore and violence. Considering Evil Dead Rise has the involvement of both Evil Dead alums Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell as producers and director Lee Cronin was picked by Raimi to work on the fifth movie in the franchise, there are not many certainties in the world, but this rating was one of them.
Evil Dead Rise, like its predecessor, will not involve Campbell in a starring role, but will also move away from the cabin in the woods location, bringing the Evil Dead to a cramped L.A. apartment block. The new movie will see sisters Ellie and Beth, played respectively by Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan, who must face-off against the Deadites of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in a brand-new nightmare scenario that for the first time in the franchise also puts children in peril.
NOTE: Evil Dead Rise is also abandoning everything that has become synonymous with the franchise to deliver something brand new, but with the same black, Evil Dead heart at the center of it.
Lee Cronin commented while posting images of bloody shoes, bloody shoe prints and a bloody director.
8 months, 1 Covid Lockdown, 6,500 litres of blood, and more memories than my brain can even process. That is a wrap on #EvilDeadRise. Thank you New Zealand, it’s been a blast. Time to head home and cut this beast together. pic.twitter.com/iyah4vEEqL
