I saw an ad for this other movie... Evil Dead Rise I think it was...something about an apartment complex over run with demons...at first thought it was part of Bruce Campbells "Evil Dead" line of movies but it wasnt... a guy named Lee Cronin I think it was...I wonder if this is that same film maker...seems the "Evil Dead" name got free from Bruce and is in circulation again in hollywierd

There was the original trilogy - Evil Dead, Evil Dead Ii, and Army of Darkness.

There have been three films since then - Evil Dead, Evil Dead Rise, and Evil Dead Burn.

did cronin make all three?? I know he made Evil Dead Rise...
I learned about it because he made that Mummy film I watched the other day that didnt really have a mummy in it

okay...quick research shows they are actually sequels to the first ones... Sam Raimi is running the show... cronin directed rise but is not involved with the others... so yeah...makes six movies in the franchise because these do in fact have "Deadites"

They are "sequels" to the original. The first one wasn't worth the film it was made with and so I was done.

No love for Evil Dead II or Army of Darkness?

Evil Dead II is my favorite gory horror comedy.

That is quite an... odd.. take. Especially about an indie horror film from the 70s that opened to door the an entire sub genre.

I will admit, I'm not enamored with the first movie, but I certainly appreciate what it did, and it did lead us to Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. I'm not a huge propoenent of AoD, but Evil Dead II IMO is a masterpiece.
