Get ready for the return of gory practical effects.
The Evil Dead franchise has never been kind to its characters. From sawing off their limbs to gushing blood from every orifice to never actually dying, Sam Raimi’s legacy franchise is crude, gory, and a lot of fun (as long as you are an audience member).
Part of that fun comes from Raimi’s established guidelines in his shoe-string budget cult horror masterpiece, The Evil Dead. He delivered a practically bloody good time with practical effects and makeup that delivers a level of disgust throughout the trilogy. Fede Álvarez continued this trend in his 2013 Evil Dead by using very little CGI throughout the entire film. Lee Cronin has been rumored to continue the legacy of practical effects in his upcoming Evil Dead Rise, which star Alyssa Sutherland says has “no digital” effects.
