Evil Dead Rise Trailer
The Evil Dead Rise trailer was released by Warner Brothers in Jan. 2023, three months before its release. It came after Bruce Campbell, an executive producer on the film, shared a sneak peek over Twitter. The trailer features a lot of bloody moments and gore, and promises that everyday tools will be used in efficient ways. One scene also shows Beth as she appears to be set up as the next Ash Williams or Mia Allen in the franchise. She stands up, full of blood, and revs up a chainsaw, giving off a creepy vibe.
The family and children in the film also seem to play important roles in the trailer. Many scenes show scary moments between the children and their aunt, which leads to an interesting plot.

What Is Evil Dead Rise About?

Evil Dead Rise apparently takes the Necronomicon and the Deadites to the wider world, which is a lot like Ash vs the Evil Dead. The trailer reveals that Beth goes to visit her sister Ellie, who is also a single mother to three children, and they talk about her pregnancy. Ellie’s apartment building happens to live on top of where an old bank used to be and there’s a vault that was left behind. The vault contains the Necronomicon, which is then discovered by a teenager after an earthquake hits the area. The Deadite horror is then released on the family and others living in the apartment complex.
