The maggots are rising this weekend in cinemas and we introduce you to Gabrielle Echols, who plays Bridget in Evil Dead Rise, and the rest of the cast involved.

Directed by Lee Cronin and produced by original Evil Dead director, Sam Raimi, Evil Dead Rise serves as the fifth overall installment in the horror franchise, following sisters who discover a mysterious, ancient book hidden in an apartment building that soon unleashes terror.

Where to watch Evil Dead Rise
Evil Dead Rise was released on Friday, April 21, 2023, in cinemas worldwide and the only place to watch it this weekend will be in your local theater as it’s a cinema exclusive.
The horror is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, which means Evil Dead Rise will eventually arrive on the streaming service, HBO Max.
Following the pattern of most movies, the horror will honor a 45 to 90-day window as a cinema exclusive before arriving on a streaming platform, therefore, we can expect Evil Dead Rise to appear on HBO Max during the summer.
