Is there another horror franchise as reliable as the Evil Dead series? Forty-one years on from Sam Raimi's original slice of cabin-in-the-woods carnage, we're still waiting for a turkey.
Gorehounds will know the drill: cabin in the woods, sinister incantation, demonic possession, harrowing violence, dismemberment by chainsaw. But Evil Dead Rise shakes up the formula, with the horror unfolding in a rundown apartment building after an earthquake leads to the discovery of a Necronomicon in a forgotten underground vault. Soon mother Ellie is taken over, leaving her visiting sister Beth tasked with protecting her three kids.
