“I don’t think any of us were looking to try to please fans,” Sutherland shared. “Having been a people pleaser most of my life, it doesn’t really work. But we have deep respect for the films that came before. Lily and I watched it again last night at a screening and we were laughing the whole way. My laughter at points was uncomfortable. But what Lee does so well is that he makes it OK for you to laugh.” Sullivan added, “Laughter is medicine and blood is God in this film.”
Will Evil Dead Rise Get a Sequel?
“I think everything’s on the table at a point like this. My focus right now is finishing what’s been an amazing promotional tour and whirlwind of getting to talk and share the process of making the movie and my opinions on it,” Cronin shared with ComicBook.com about the franchise’s future. “And I think from there it’s like, let’s see how audiences really react to it. I definitely have got stories that I feel like I could tell inside this universe. But equally, I think as I’ve proven with this, I’m also a filmmaker with my own voice. I’m not there to necessarily serve a continuing narrative all the time and probably have made a movie for me in terms of my taste that’s right at the edge, intensity-wise, because I think if I pushed it any further, it becomes something that isn’t me or that I’d want to make.”
During a chat with Variety, Cronin also revealed some potential sequel ideas.
Evil Dead Rise is now playing in theaters.
