The fifth installment in a beloved horror franchise tops the DVD releases for the week of June 27.
"Evil Dead Rise": The Necronomicon unleashes fresh terrors on a mother and her family in this entry, which sees the action move from a cabin in the woods to an urban apartment building.
"Try as it might to expand the 'Evil Dead' universe beyond its most famous chainsaw-wielding character, the film isn’t permitted to escape his shadow," writes Los Angeles Times film reporter Jen Yamato in her review. "A fresh pivot that starts out strong before caving to fan service, this femme-centered installment at least doesn’t skimp on visceral horrors and black humor, finding inventive ways to make its audience cringe, cower and cackle as it puts its heroines through hell."
