![]() ![]() For a large portion of the runtime, she's confined to the basement. Mia seems to be the focus here as she takes Ash's place in this version, but she doesn't really have much to do until the last 15 minutes. Women need to be saved, or they are just there to torment the men, and they don't receive as much characterization as the male characters. While not as evident as the originals, and giving the women much more to do, it still falls back on the same archetypes the original did. Surprisingly, even the 2013 remake still suffers from this a bit. It moves away from the cabin in the woods (like the third film) to a high-rise apartment building, foregoes a group of friends for a family, and it finally allows women to take the lead in the franchise. Evil Dead Rise is a very different film from the rest of the franchise. ![]() Evil Dead Rise is the latest entry in the franchise, this time directed by Lee Cronin. Instead, this movie opted to have a whole new cast of characters, with Mia ( Jane Levy) as the lead. This was the only entry, up until now, to not have Ash in it. A decade ago, the original film was remade (or perhaps a "re-imagined sequel" is a better term for it) by Fede Álvarez. ![]() And what's better than a protagonist with a chainsaw arm? The original three films directed by Sam Raimi, along with a three-season television show, follow the adventures of Ash Williams ( Bruce Campbell) and his battles with the Deadites. It's mean, it's gory, and it's downright funny. Evil Dead is one of the most acclaimed horror franchises of all time. ![]()
