So if the 2013 film is a confirmed sequel, where does Evil Dead Rise stand in the franchise? (Ash car is still there rusting away.)” If you’re a fan of the original film you may have noticed Ash’s car in the 2013 film, some simply assumed it was an Easter egg, but it turns out that’s not the case at all. The coincidences between the first film and mine are not coincidences, but more like dark fate created by the evil book. He replied to a fan and said: “It continues the first one. But writer/director Fede Álvarez took to Twitter back in 2018 and set the record straight.
Obviously, we know the original trilogy connects, and that Ash Vs Evil Dead serves as a sequel to it, but what about the other two films?įor a while, it was just assumed that 2013’s Evil Dead was simply a remake of the original film.
But though there are multiple films from multiple time periods, the timeline isn’t as complicated as you may think. With a handful of films under its belt (and a TV series) the timeline feels a bit complicated. While the series is clearly doing well for itself, there is one thing that could elevate it to new heights: morphing the timelines together. It’s such a unique series, and even for its later additions ( Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise), Raimi was a key player in their development and lent his original vision to a whole new generation of moviegoers. And for Army of Darkness, we went all the way back to England in 1300 AD with Ash Williams ( Bruce Campbell). Their plots have never felt influenced by Hollywood or cheques, and writer/director Sam Raimi stuck to his vision for them.įor Evil Dead II, Raimi opted for a more humorous approach, taking the comedic aspects of the original film and amping them up into pure slapstick comedy that would come to define the series. However, The Evil Dead films feel separated from most franchises as they tend to do their own thing. That’s not to say it’s a bad thing, some of the best horror movies ever are part of a franchise, one of them being 1981’s The Evil Dead. One of the most notorious genres for franchising and sequels is horror. In a time when franchises are hot and so many films are receiving sequels, it can be a bit daunting going into yet another rendition of a seen-before plot.
