Warner Bros. has announced exactly when horror fans will be able to bring Evil Dead Rise into their homes.
It’s not a great idea to bring the Naturom Demonto (Necronomicon) into your home, but in the case of the Evil Dead franchise…it’s okay. Today brings word on when fans will be able to bring the gory (but fun) new film home and watch from the safety of their couches!
* On May 9, “Evil Dead Rise” will be available for early Premium Digital Ownership at home for $24.99 and for 48-hour rental via PVOD for $19.99 SRP on participating digital platforms where you purchase movies, including Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu.
* On June 27, “Evil Dead Rise” will be available on 4K UHD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD. “Evil Dead Rise” will also continue to be available to own in high definition and standard definition from participating digital retailers.
From New Line Cinema and Renaissance Pictures, the film also stars Morgan Davies (TV’s “The End,” “Storm Boy”), Gabrielle Echols (“Reminiscence”) and introducing Nell Fisher (“Northspur”). The film was produced by longtime franchise producer Rob Tapert and executive produced by series creator and horror icon Sam Raimi and cult legend and “Ash” himself, Bruce Campbell, along with John Keville, Macdara Kelleher, Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Romel Adam and Victoria Palmeri.
In “Evil Dead Rise,” the action moves out of the woods and into the city, and tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sullivan and Sutherland, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.
Kinda weird there’s no mention of bonus features or anything (Raimi normally brings the goods with those), but considering how fun the movie is, it’s tough to complain. Hopefully there’s something on there they just aren’t prepared to announce yet.
