Everyone seeking their first look at "Evil Dead Rise" got more than an eyeful with the red band trailer. Packed full of what promises to be scary, striking, and yes, very bloody, the film appeals to longtime fans and newer generations of horror aficionados. From a blood-covered chainsaw to a full scalping, there's nothing left to the imagination.
Any genre film that delves into food-related scenes can conjure up nausea-inducing moments. The "Rise" trailer starts out with a frying pan full of eggy goop set against an increasingly disturbing maternal image; symbolism aside, though, some moments are just plain and simple brutality.
A cheese grater seems ripe for horror film use, yet the cooking implement hasn't been at the forefront of many movie moments. "Rise" is set to change all that with a sequence that should have audiences grasping their armrests just a bit more tightly. The trailer shows Beth fighting for her life against a deadite. As she pushes away a grater on the floor, it flies into the hands of a demon who hovers over her; the resulting moments see the deadite apply the grater to her arm.
How far it goes after that is anyone's guess, but considering "The Evil Dead" featured a tree doing unspeakable things to a character, there is room for anything in this universe.
