Director Reveals Franchise Plans

The director of the newest film in the franchise, Death of the Devil, said he has not yet received permission from the studio, but he already has four different paths he would like to explore, all derived from the film Death of the Devil: Rise, which he drove recently.

Cronin doesn't want the sequel to be just a bait-and-switch, and has plans to develop each idea satisfactorily. He believes the franchise has a lot of potential and would love to be involved in future installments.

The director's ideas include exploring the story behind the Book of the Dead, continuing the story with the character Beth, who picks up the chainsaw at the end, addressing the consequences of what happened in the apartment building and finally, returning to the forest, where the curse continues.

In Evil Dead Rise, the latest film in the franchise, two sisters find themselves fighting for survival in a big city after a demon attack.

About the film:

“The Rise” is a slasher horror film from the classic “Death of the Devil” franchise, the first title of which was released in 1981. The plot follows Beth (Lily Sullivan), who travels to Los Angeles to visit her older sister, Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland), with whom he has a distant relationship. However, an ancient book triggers a series of macabre events, turning the meeting into a frightening nightmare. The sisters now have to fight for survival against demons that possess human bodies, including family members.

The film “Death of the Devil: Rise” is the fifth film in the Evil Dead franchise. Fans wonder if this film is a sequel, remake or reboot. In truth, there is no clear answer, but the new film is not a remake, as was the one in 2013. The Rise can be understood as a sequel to the original films (Evil Dead 1, 2 and Army of Darkness) or as a reboot . The film's story is based on the existence of three Books of the Dead, or Necronomicon, and the plot revolves around where the book is now and how it awakens demons to haunt the characters.

It is not necessary to have watched the other films to understand The Ascension, but director Lee Cronin included many references to previous films, which makes the experience more enjoyable for those who know the saga. The film is now available in Brazilian cinemas.
