Highly Suspect Reviews: Evil Dead Rise

EVIL DEAD RISE MOVIE REVIEW

The deadites are back! This new installment of what is, perhaps, the only horror franchise (with more than 2 films) that every chapter of it works, Evil Dead Rise also changes a few things up. While there is (briefly) a cabin in the woods, the setting for the bulk of the film is a dilapidated apartment tower scheduled for demolition soon. One of the few remaining families still living in it, Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) and her three children, are visited by Ellie’s estranged sister Beth (Lily Sullivan). When the children return from getting pizza (so the sisters can have some time to argue), a quake rocks the building and opens up a hole in the underground parking lot. Turns out, this building long ago was a bank and the hole leads to a sealed off vault, and it was sealed for good reason. Before you know it, you got yourself a book of the dead, possessed folks, and tons of carnage. Chris, Marco, and Tessa are here to tell you how this stacks up in the Evil Dead franchise, whether it’s just pillow talk baby or if it’s totally groovy.

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost Souls: Crossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

 

 

Tessa Morrison (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Unstabletop Gamers)

Well-rounded nerd and artist, Tessa Morrison grew up in the misty mountains of West Virginia and was constantly ridiculed for being a “weirdo.” Then moved to Austin in 2009 where people said the same thing, but in an endearing tone. Tessa works an office day job, creates puppets and fiber art, cosplays, models for gaming and animation studios, and volunteers for various organizations. One of which is the Other Worlds Film Festival, Austin’s first SciFi film fest, working in the capacity of Outreach Director and programmer. Another is local DIY-comedy-wrestling league, Party World Rasslin’, where Tessa scrambles around stage-handing and doing art department nonsense. Wrote and contributed to website and magazine Strange Kids Club for five years reviewing films, video games, and Halloween candy. Co-hosted a Public Access show called Ladies of Fandom. Previously guested on podcasts Blood Over Texas, Threequel Club, Trash in the Can, Retro Movie Roundtable, and Nerds with Mics.

By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
