Oh, and did we mention that there's even a good new Nicolas Cage film? And a good Evil Dead sequel?

The fifth film in the Evil Dead series, following 1981’s The Evil Dead, 1987’s Evil Dead II, 1993’s Army of Darkness, and 2013’s Evil Dead, is written and directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground). This blood-soaked installment finds estranged sisters Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) and Beth (Lily Sullivan) battling each other when Ellie is possessed, and Beth must protect Ellie’s three children from their mom. If critics who saw Rise at SXSW can be believed, fans of the series are in for another nasty, bloody, scary, and funny time at the theater.
