Soon after the trailer got surfaced, netizens expressed their excitement to watch the film. A user wrote, "I rewatched Evil Dead (2013) yesterday, and I noticed after the plot was revealed, the horror was back to back literally one scene after another was horror, gore and evil! For some reason I only noticed this yesterday, and it was so thrilling. I can imagine the experience the audience would've had in theatres, CRAZY! Excited for another chapter of the Evil Dead Universe." Another user wrote, "This looks really good!   This is the kind of stuff we want from the new Exorcist trilogy too.  I really want them to get it right and make it absolutely terrifying but I don’t know if David Gordon green is capable of producing terror the likes of Evil Dead.  Can’t wait to see this one!" 

Evil Dead Rise is the fourth installment of the horror franchise. The first film Evil Dead (1981) was a super successful low-budget adventure, that went on to gain cult status. The franchise was followed by Evil Dead II (1987), Army of Darkness (1992), and Evil Dead (2013). Evil Dead Rise will hit cinemas on April 21, 2023
