110. Evil Dead Rise

Listen to this episode from Rotten Horror Picture Show on Spotify. Ah, jeez. I knew something was up when the elevators started bleeding, but this? This is a whole other level of cleanup nightmare. Welcome, folks, to a brand-new episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show*, where Clay and Amanda are wrapping up their Summer Cabin Series in the most *gory* way possible. This time, they’re talking about the latest gut-wrenching, deadite-filled entry into the Evil Dead franchise: *Evil Dead Rise*, directed by Lee Cronin. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a good horror movie, but who’s thinking about the poor guy that’s gotta scrub all the blood, guts, and *whatever that black goo is* off the walls?In this 2023 rebootquel, instead of a cabin in the woods, we’re talking about an apartment building in the city. And let me tell you, from a janitor’s perspective, deadites in a high-rise building? That’s my worst nightmare. You think cleaning up after a tenant who leaves their laundry in the hallway is bad? Try mopping up after demons from the Necronomicon wreak havoc on a whole building full of families. Who’s gonna get the blood out of the carpet? *Me*, that’s who.Clay and Amanda dive deep into this fresh take on the *Evil Dead* universe—no chainsaws in the woods this time, but don’t worry, it’s still got plenty of gore, terror, and deadite madness to keep you on the edge of your seat. They’ll talk about how *Evil Dead Rise* manages to take everything we love about the franchise—the relentless horror, over-the-top practical effects, and twisted humor—and drop it into an entirely new setting. It’s gritty, it’s gruesome, and it’s going to leave one hell of a mess.So tune in, folks, and while you’re enjoying the carnage, spare a thought for the guy who’s gotta clean it all up. *That’s gonna take more than just a mop and bucket*.
