A chapter from the Book Of The Dead

I went to the cinema to see Evil Dead Rise. Directed by Sam Raimi and also produced by Bruce Campbell. I had booked as soon as I was awake. It was unfortunately subtitled. There was this huge fly that was pissing me off. Hanging around for a while. I felt that the trailer showed too much. This film has been getting praised. Good special effects. Great cast of actors. The two leading ladies are hot. I am sure those that were thirsting over Lady D from Resident Evil 8 will now simp over Sutherland. Set in Los Angeles. There is an opening scene from the cabin by the lake. Where trouble had already started. So LA takes place the day before. An old building that used to be a bank. There are a variety of people living there. The main protagonists, the family seem quite liberal. Leading an alternative lifestyle. An earthquake happens. Now it could have been intentional. Ellie runs her own business. She has three kids. The youngest is Kassie, Bridget is socially conscious, planning to go to a protest. Danny loves his music and has dj equipment. Beth is a guitar technician. She realises that she is pregnant. She goes to visit her relatives. The Book Of The Dead is found in a vault. Partly Danny's fault for this shit happening. I did wonder how this film connects to the the other films and tv series. If Ash Williams would make an appearance but it would not work. Pretty soon a demon has been released. Takes hold of Ellie. I like that no one is safe. Plenty of violence and gore. It will have jump scares which didn't bother me. You should see Alyssa Sutherland react to the tweets from the fans. Will there be anymore films? I am not sure why the man was shouting at the cast during the premiere. Maybe an antisjw conservative. I didn't stay to see if there was an end credits scene.
