The Evil Dead movies have spent a long time in the cultural mindset. Starting back in 1981 with The Evil Dead and spanning through two subsequent sequels there, a television series, two new movies in a different world and beyond, the story created by Sam Raimi has staying power. And part of the reason the series has constantly worked is because it adapts to the story being told. For instance, when it first premiered, it was a horror movie.
But, through Raimi’s skill and Bruce Campbell’s brilliance in playing Ash, we watched as the movie grew into its own style of horror and campiness that has become synonymous with the name. Both of the new films continue with this tradition, even though neither Raimi or Campbell are involved past their producing roles. But, one thing was clear to me after watching 2023’s Evil Dead Rise: It’s time for those who survived the Deadites to all band together. Including Ash.
