Evil Dead Rise, the recent horror hit that continues the legacy of the iconic Evil Dead franchise and was created by cult-favourite Sam Raimi, is set to premiere on HBO Max on June 23. The film is directed by Lee Cronin and produced by Sam Raimi, featuring Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland in leading roles.
Even though the exact time for the release has not been announced yet, interested viewers can expect the film to be available at the standard release time, i.e., 12 am PT or 3 am ET. The synopsis of the movie on Rotten Tomatoes 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."
While all previous films by Warner Bros. were released into HBO Max within 45 days of its official release, the distribution giant has announced that all future releases shall be scheduled on a case-to-case basis.
Evil Dead Rise saw a theatrical release on April 23, 2023, following a world premiere at South by Southwest.
