Evil Dead Rise Pt1

Evil Dead Rise came out of nowhere, and it was most welcome.

Originally intended to debut on the MAX (now HBO-Max, again) streaming network, Evil Dead Rise was given a theatrical release instead. Somebody at that studio must have realized what they had on their hands.

EDR also has some very nice scenes of interest for us. Starting with the opening scene with Anna-Maree Thomas as Jessica. At first the barefoot Jessica lays around on a bed, appearing to be sick, but she's actually demonically possessed.

Later in the film, single mother Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) takes the elevator down to the laundry room, only to get attacked by the demonic spirits.

She was wearing flip-flops, but they got knocked off of her feet after she was literally tackled by this invisible force of evil.

What's interesting is that Ellie goes barefoot for the rest of the movie from this point onwards.

And there's much more to come!
