Evil Dead has been one of the most popular horror franchises of all time since the original movie, The Evil Dead's release in 1981. It was written and directed by renowned filmmaker Sam Raimi. The upcoming movie has also been gleaned from characters written by Raimi. However, he will not be serving as the director for the new installment.

Fans are rather doubtful about the upcoming movie not being made by Raimi and the recently released image has sparked a memefest on Twitter.

By the looks of the fan reactions, it is quite understandable that individuals are skeptical about the overly bloody image. Jokes aside, it will be interesting to see if the new movie will be able to match the success of the previous installments of the franchise.

Lee Cronin has served as the writer and director of the upcoming horror movie, while Robert G. Tapert has acted as the producer. Dave Garbett served as the cinematographer of the new movie in the franchise, while critically acclaimed music composer Stephen McKeon has given its music.

The official synopsis for the movie, released by Warner Bros. Pictures, reads:

"In the fifth Evil Dead film, a road-weary Beth pays an overdue visit to her older sister Ellie, who is raising three kids on her own in a cramped L.A. apartment. The sisters' reunion is cut short by the discovery of a mysterious book deep in the bowels of Ellie's building, giving rise to flesh-possessing demons, and thrusting Beth into a primal battle for survival as she is faced with the most nightmarish version of motherhood imaginable."

The cast list for the movie includes Alyssa Sutherland, Gabrielle Echols, Lily Sullivan, Morgan Davies, Mia Challis, Nell Fisher, Tai Wano, Billy Reynolds-McCarthy, and Jayden Daniels.

Evil Dead Rise will release in theaters on April 21, 2023.
