Evil Dead Rise has great reviews and the best Rotten Tomatoes scores in the Evil Dead franchise. Does that make it better than Sam Rami's movies?
The Evil Dead movies have a history of positive reviews, so how does Evil Dead Rise's Rotten Tomatoes score compare to the rest of the franchise? As the movie and franchise that launched Sam Raimi's career as a popular horror director, and eventual popular superhero director thanks to the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy, The Evil Dead holds an important place in film history.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT So far Evil Dead Rise is getting really strong reviews, continuing a trend of Fresh Rotten Tomatoes scores for the Evil Dead franchise. While Bruce Campbell starred as Ash Williams in the first Evil Dead trilogy, all three of which are directed by Raimi, he only had a cameo in the fourth movie and has teased an Evil Dead Rise cameo, although Campbell and Rami remain as producers on both Evil Dead and Evil Dead Rise.
Evil Dead Rise Has The Highest Rotten Tomatoes Score in the Evil Dead Franchise Evil Dead Rise currently sports a 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, the best score of the entire Evil Dead franchise. The original The Evil Dead has an 85 percent, Evil Dead II has an 88 percent, Army of Darkness has a 69 percent, and Evil Dead has a 63 percent.
Evil Dead Rise Doesn't Have the Best Evil Dead Reviews, Despite High Rotten Tomatoes Scores Despite having the highest Rotten Tomatoes score in the Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead Rise only has the second-highest average review score in the franchise with a 7.6 average while The Evil Dead has a 7.7.
Granted, the scores are incredibly close using either metric, and since The Evil Dead was released in 1981, long before the advent of Rotten Tomatoes, the retroactive scoring and other industry changes make it hard to treat the scores as an apples-to-apples comparison. Rotten Tomatoes should never be taken as an absolute indicator of quality, even if the review data can provide interesting insight to contrast critical opinions towards movies over time.
