How long is Evil Dead Rise? Horror sequel’s runtime explained
Warner Bros.A new Evil Dead movie hits screens this week, and we now know its runtime. So read on for news of the length of Evil Dead Rise, plus how that compares to previous films in the franchise.
The Evil Dead franchise is a weird one, with sequels more like remakes, and remakes playing like sequels. But one thing the films all have in common is that they are funny, and, Army of Darkness aside, scary.
They are also brief. Evil Dead movies rarely outstay their welcome. With little in the way of plot or character development, they get in-and-out at around the 90-minute mark. Which is part of what makes them so effective.
A new Evil Dead releases this Friday. Written and directed by Hole in the Ground helmer Lee Cronin, the movie is called Evil Dead Rise. You can read our review of the new Evil Dead here, while details of the feature’s length can be found below.
