I love how every Evil Dead movie can be viewed as their own movie without having to see any of the other movies

To me this is the most tragic Evil Dead by far. "Don't let it take my babies." But she only saves one, and even then plot armor is the only reason Cassie lives. That's what's so incredible about Rise, making it a family instead of a friend group just makes each loss so much more impactful.

Not sure if James noticed but each family member getting possessed represents a different generation of Evil Dead. The mom representing Rise with red and white eyes, Bridget with the brown and gold eyes from 2013 and Danny with the classic white eyes from the Raimi trilogy cool little detail I noticed in the film

5:08 for those that saw this in theaters, this was the LOUDEST title card I have ever heard in my life. Possibly the loudest single noise I've ever heard in any theater in general. It was freakin amazing lol

I felt SO BAD for Ellie, she feels like the one to least deserve the horrid things that happened to her. She was already a SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE, was being evicted, then her estranged sister simply dumps ANOTHER problem on her back, and then ALL OF THIS

Blood, guts, gore, violence, murder: No reaction. Lucy's meow: Pure joy

The shot of just Ellie persuading her daughter to open the door for her is just downright terrifying. And that DREADFUL smile and the deceptively innocent "Open up :))" was the GOURMET CHERRY ON TOP! What a haunting and incredibly performance!

16:50 has to be the biggest highlight I have with this vid, Lucy sounded so precious my heart melted I swear man

Alyssa Sutherland's performance is one of my favourite performances in horror history

The title card in this one is NEXT LEVEL. I felt like I was levitating myself when I first saw it.

16:54 THE LUCY CAT HAS SPOKEN! Another fantastic video! Thank you James and the Dead Meat crew for all your hard work 🤩

hearing Bruce Campbell in the audio recording screaming about the caution of the book is chilling. Imagining what an older ash could be doing in that time and even interacting with the Catholic church is awesome. That little cameo is enough to provide a fan with more history and fun. The fact that it specifically relates back to Army of Darkness is pretty cool as well. It tells us that ash time traveled again at some point. Which is more than likely after the ending of the TV series. We could assume that he enjoyed the wasteland, before getting lonely or maybe accidentally fucking with a book again. Leading him to be teleported through time or maybe specifically to the date of that recording. Where he has another adventure and possibly restores humanity back to what it was. Knowing the ending of the TV series is pretty bleak and underwhelming. On the film itself, i feel like it is a perfect addition to franchise. It feels more in line with the 2013 film, but taking heavy inspiration from Evil Dead 2. As it incorporates more campiness like the sequels. I really enjoyed the setting and the twist elements on previously established concepts. Such as the reading of the necronomicon through the vinyl records. Or the door being another form of the chained cellar. I actually enjoyed the marauder and thought it was a very twisted element with the "family"/"motherhood" themes. This is also where the film shines. 2013 had its simplistic story and upped the violence. This one traded some violence for a more focused character story. It feels like a great companion piece to the 2013 remake. Evil Dead is still one of the best and strongest horror franchise that hasnt had one bad entry.

Absolutely loved Evil Dead Rise, I love Ash but I’m glad the franchise is able to survive with well crafter rebootquels

I love how industrial Evil Dead Rise is. The run down high building aesthetic really does drive home how helpless these characters are, and the performances in this are probably the best in the whole franchise. At least the best out of those whose names aren’t Bruce Campbell

Since no one else is mentioning it, I love James' dig on Cody Ko at 10:48

Imagine the white bile is literally the Deadite liquifying and purging the person's soul from the body by throwing ut up

I genuinely love that the movie explains that there are actually Three Books, effectively making all three Evil Deads canon. Granted I kind of wish they also showed that each book has some kind of different effect outside of possession, but I'll take what I can get.

Imo, the title card scene was AMAZING. I loved the levitation. It really showed how powerful the deadites would be in this version

The genuine surprise and delight on James’ face when Lucy meowed

1:29 “Ya know?….If you’re a sick f***” 😂

16:53 officially the best Lucy Cat cameo. Poor baby’s horrified! I think the idea of the Marauder is worse than the reality. I feel like if you read a description of it and let your mind do the rest it would be horrifying, but actually looking at it onscreen is just like eh, there it is.

James saying "Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry." wasn't on my 2024 bingo card

I got to meet Alyssa Sutherland at her first con after the movie came out, Spooky Empire in Orlando. I got a picture with her and her autograph where she wrote, "Don't let it get my babies" on it. I also am a judge for the new Media Film Festival and she agreed to do a video with me to announce who the winner was for 2023. Awesome woman!

5:08 What we were all here for. I've been waiting months for that TITLE CARD, and I was not disappointed. ...and I loved the follow-up at 21:50!

Fun Fact: The sound of Gabriel’s eye getting bitten off is the sound of Bruce Campbell biting into an apple.

It’s great to see how every new Evil Dead movie kind of brings something new to the franchise

“leave her looking like mario mid jump”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bro james is hella funny omg

When James jokes, "let this be a lesson, Cody," when talking about the character unleashing the evil because of the record player (DJing in his joke), is this a reference to Cody Ko? Someone tell me I'm not crazy lol!

“Mommy’s with the maggots now” both turns my stomach so hard and makes me laugh my ass off, and I love it

The Mario sound effect 😂 And OH MY GOD, Lucy’s meow was so precious🥹

I still love the fact that Gabriel’s eye loss was dubbed with sfx of Bruce Campbell biting into an apple. 13:35

I really like this direction the Evil Dead series is taking. After Bruce retired his role as Ash, each movie following a new group of shmucks can really give perspective on how widespread the Deadite's power has extended like the show was doing.

I love this movie so much. This whole franchise is great, but this film takes it to another level. Alyssa Sutherland absolutely nailed her Deadite performance, and finding she chose to base it on how Jim Carrey played The Mask made it even better. She certainly captures the same energy.

I love that this movie continued the 2013 requel's theme of the deadites representing something deeper to the protagonist. For Mia, it was her struggle for sobriety from drug addiction. For Beth, it was fear of motherhood. Each of their final bosses embodied those fears: Mia's was an evil version of herself and Beth's was "the worst version of family imaginable." In the end, they both realize that they cannot run or hide, but have to directly confront and conquer their personal demons.

This was one of the most stressful movies I have EVER seen in a movie theatre. Watched it twice and each time I cringed at gore and jumped at the freaky jump scares. Sooo good

The 2013 movie showed that it is possible to un-possess people, so kills shouldn't count until their body/the deadite is killed, or at least receives a fatal blow for a human.

16:55 When Lucy meowed, I was just so happy because of Lucy’s cuteness. Can you like make a compilation of all of Lucy’s meows? I know it doesn’t fit with the theme of the channel but it would be able to make my day whenever i am feeling down.

The elevator scene, despite all the other horrific things that happen, is what stuck with me. Ellie's possession is terrifying, especially the final pose that the elevator cables force her into.

I NEED to see Ash, Mia and Beth have a team-up movie or something

It makes me so happy that there are still Evil Dead movies being made and they're good. Some of my earliest introductions to horror when I was way too young to watch them and it's magic to be able to see them in the cinema with friends now!

Ellie is officially the strongest person (possibly second to Ash) to be possessed by Deadites. Her will was so strong that she actually had to be KILLED before she could be possessed.

The Evil Dead franchise has yet to miss. The whole franchise has been top tier, and it's crazy given its humble beginnings, but as long as Sam and Bruce are involved as producers, I think we're in good hands for the future of the franchise.

I love how when the boy finds a book in a room WITH CROSSES HANGING FROM THE CEILING he just decides it’s a good idea to take the book

Yeah, honestly to me, this is the most tragic in the entire franchise since this is a family witnessing going through this crap... Evil Dead really takes no prisoners...

This is probably one of my favorite horror movies of the past year. Seeing this in theaters was so much gory fun

Lucy meowing on camera was adorable oml

So glad you guys are finally covering this! Easily my favorite horror movie of last year, and a perfect entry in the Evil Dead franchise

Lucy stealing my heart at 16:53 with that meow 😮😮😭❤

I absolutely loved that they introduced multiple books. It opens the world to so many possibilities. This was such a great installment

Honestly I had a blast watching this movie opening night! And that “titty sucking parasites” line got an auditable laugh from the audience including myself 😂 Awesome work covering this James!!

Alyssa Sutherland killed this role, you can clearly tell she was having fun

Bruce cambell saying "alledgedly 3 books" makes me intrigued

God damn James is killing it with his narrations, performances and overall presentation these days. He's such an incredible ball of energy, knowledge, humor and he's magnetic AF. These videos are so much more than summaries of the films, or even explanations of how they were made. I can't put it into words, but dang James is a powerhouse.

Fun fact: Alyssa Sutherland said that the “titty sucking parasites” line was her favorite line she said in the film. How do I know? The question was asked at a horror convention panel in Indiana!

this is genuinely such a good movie. the relationships feel real, the effects are great, and it actually scared me. i’ve seen it about 500 times because i put it on when there’s nothing to watch 😭

One detail I absolutely love is that all three Deadite designs are present here. Danny becomes one that looks closer to the original design, Bridgett becomes one that looks like the 2013 one, and of course, there's Ellie's design.

I absolutely love Ellie’s face when she gets stabbed in the shoulder. Just like “seriously?”

I love lucy's little mew at 16:54

Lucy is a natural on camera! Another great Kill Count, and I really enjoyed the full movie. Awesome stuff!

"It moves, it drinks a little bit of blood." Your Necronomicon can have a little blood, as a treat.

I love this flick. The fact that it takes place is an apartment complex, which is something i have a reoccurring nightmare about, makes it thats much more creepy

It's so refreshing to watch an Evil Dead movie with thematic depth. Ellie's family gets tragically torn apart. Meanwhile, Beth is starting her own family. The sisters are inverted reflections of each other. The final showdown is a pregnant Beth versus a deadite Ellie who is carrying her deadite children in her body - as if the kids had returned to the mother's womb. Also, the camera placement, editing, lighting, makeup effects, sound design, and score are all excellent. I truly ❤this movie.

I like the "come get some" line as it's a reference to an Ash line and was sampled into a fire ass beat and used in the evil dead games trailer

i saw this twice in cinema and i just loved it. i found it to be one of the saddest horror movies ive watched due to the brilliant family bonding moments throughout. Ellie deserved so much better i cant help but feel awful for what happened to her. I dont often feel too attached or heartbroken for horror characters but this one got me

Gotta say, love the addition to the intro line because seeing the behind the scenes stuff has to be one of my favorite parts of the kill counts. Keep killin it dead meat folks!

I'm glad this went to theatres cuz it was great to see it on the big screen. One of the best theatre experiences last year even tho there was a ton of great stuff.

Having the books be the thing that ties all of the movies together but still allows directors to do their own thing with it is actually a really smart move

Evil dead rise was the first movie I had seen in theaters by myself and it was so memorable to me. Love your work ethic and can’t wait to see what else deadmeat does in the future!❤️

Actors who can control their bodies to a level like this is terrifying and amazing at the same time. It definitely makes the deadites so terrifying

5:13 f**k yeah is right, james. THAT. IS HOW YOU START A MOVIE RIGHT.

Love how much you guys go onto detail and behind the scenes info! It’s one of my favorite things finding out cool shit about horror movies.

James sound just like the personality Hedwig from Split in 6:23

The glass scene still haunts me

After this movie i'll never look to a cheese grater the same way again

9:47 how can it be ash in another time? didn't he already return to the future? or are there multiple ashs spread throughout time? are there multiple universes?

I love it: "Who doesn't want to be covered in blood." Just the best for this young one lol

Yes! Honestly my favourite film of last year. Everything I could ask for in an Evil Dead film: plenty of creepy scenes, buckets of blood, a cast completely dedicated to the type of film they're making, a nice dose of dark humour, and an absolutely batshit crazy act 3. In my opinion, that's 5 for 5 good films in the Evil Dead franchise (plus one really good show).

An interesting point is that the Deadites have the various eye colours from the previous Evil Dead films. You can see it on the marauder. Some parts have white eyes and some have orange eyes.

Small little detail I loved during the title card sequence is that you can see the title itself being reflected in the water as it’s coming up

Hoping for an Evil Dead with all three books and all three protagonists. Ash, Mia, Beth, even Ellie along for the ride, all with their respective movie’s books, it’d be one Hell of a good time.

A lot of respect for the entire cast and for giving a great performance, really phenomenal acting, especially Alyssa Sutherland!

I never thought there would be a Cody Ko reference in a Dead Meat video. Thank you James!

12:28 fun fact that scream is from dying light

Awe I love the cute meow from lucy

Woah! James got a cameo with the infamous Lucy?! She is jam packed so I’m shocked she did that with him

10:44 You are evil for that sound effect. PLEASE I CANT BREATH 😂

Alyssa Sutherland was so good in this movie! I also loved her in the TV show called “Vikings” whenever she portrayed Aslaug.

I remember seeing this in theaters with friends we love to make up scenes that awkwardly name drop the move So the one I did for this one was that one character sees a deadite zombie or something come up from the ground and would run back to their friends. They'd be out of breath and when the friend asks what happened they'd say "Evil *pant* Dead *pant* Rise" So when the title card said "Evil Dead Rise" to the evil dead rising out of the water we all lost our shit and then we snuck into the dnd movie because no one checks tickets lmao

The moment I saw the title card in theaters I NEEDED this kill count

This was one of my favourite cinema going experiences of last year. The sound design in 5.1 surround sound and seeing what happens in the film made me squirm in my seat and I loved it

Watched this at an overnight movie marathon Evil dead is one of the few franchises where you can generally enjoy every single film in its own way

I just want to say thank you James and your whole crew y’all have provided me a lot of entertainment for the past 5 years and shown me all kinds of new horror movies I haven’t seen so from the bottom of my 21 almost 22 year old heart thank you

That "To the numbers bit" was amazing! You keep upping the bar. I love this channel

16:54 Aww that's cute respond of your pet cat.😊

Lucy's Meow made my night. Thanks Dead Meat ;3

"World's greatest title card" Huge agree. I saw that title card and knew it was gonna be good

i worked at movie theater when this movie was out, this movie is so loud 😭😭 you could hear it down the hall no matter what

This was one of my favorite horror movies last year! I love the Evil Dead franchise and this movie did not disappoint!!!

This is the most graphic evil dead James! It just has a layer of comedy thrown in to ease SOME the kills!
