Movie Review
B movies horror genre is based on: with little means and a couple of friends, we make a movie that attracts enough attention to get fame and, thus, get budget to make better movies. That’s what Sam Raimi did with the first Evil Dead so then became a cult filmmaker.
Years have passed and Lee Cronin picks up the baton and does it with much more budget and with forty years of evolution of the genre behind him but with the same demands of the fans: black humor, rhythm, morbidity and, above all, liters, or tons of tomato (depending on the density).
Infernal Possession: Rise has it all and, what’s more, it’s well made. Good effects and all the wisdom of forty years of cinema making these films: they know what works, they apply it, and, in addition, they do it with nods to the genre, with a great sense of humor and, above all, with liters of blood.
It is a very good (already) horror classic. It’s great within its category, but it neither invents nor wants to break the rules. It is not Hereditary, and you won’t find new formulas, it just (more than) meets the demands of the most adept fans of the genre, who won’t be disappointed with the action, the excellent production, and the fact that, overcoming its low-budget essence, it achieves a very entertaining film that, yes, is designed exclusively for lovers of this kind of movies.
For the rest… there are others.
This is a movie for fans, among which we find ourselves.
And we loved it!
Everything you expect, Evil Dead: Rise has it.
