Clever ‘Evil Dead Rise’ mangles and mutilates like a mom possessed

A single mom (Alyssa Sutherland) is possessed by a demonic beast in “Evil Dead Rise.” (Warner Bros.)

Mommie Fearest.

Forget about Norma Bates from “Psycho” or Margaret White from “Carrie” or Eleanor Iselin from “The Manchurian Candidate” or Joan Crawford from “Mommie Dearest,” you’ve never seen a mother turn on her children with such vitriol as Alyssa Sutherland’s Ellie in the blood-soaked gorefest that is “Evil Dead Rise.” There’s a moment where she hisses at her youngest that all she wants is to pop off her head, and if that doesn’t earn a child a lifetime of therapy, nothing will.
