My wife and I watch Evil Dead Rise for the FIRST time || Movie Reaction 

Fun fact: the director Lee Cronin has confirmed the three Necronomicons from Army of Darkness correspond to the three Evil Dead "stories" (original The Evil Dead trilogy, Evil Dead remake, and Evil Dead Rise), and the books all have their unique looks and characteristics to them. He alluded to a lot of other things like there being more books, every story taking place in the same timeline, etc. Overall, it makes me very excited about the future of the Evil Dead franchise.

Holden casually mentioning that he's dabbled in cannibalism for fear of wasting cheese. 😮

The 2013 one stands out to me as my favorite. Y’all should give it a shot. Also if you like the lead in this film you’ll love Jane Levy’s take. She went all out!

Best Cinema experience this year for me. After like 50 Minutes i couldnt stop laughing. 😂😂😂

I need those noise canceling headphones. The whole world was exploding around her and she didn’t hear a thing 😂

This movie was such a fun watch. Now my 2nd fav Evil Dead movie, just behind Evil Dead II

This is the first time I've seen a vid from you guys in a while so I just wanna say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!🚼🍼👶

Actually the book in Hocus Pocus was a Grimoire, which in black magic mythology has been around for centuries. Where as the Necronomicon only goes back to H .P.Lovecraft.

Hey Guys, glad u both enjoyed the movie. It was made by one of my fellow country men Lee Cronin who went to College with my sister In-law..unlike my brother i was never a big Evil Dead guy, he thought it wasnt funny enough and he didint love it but review were pretty good..i really liked it...I felt it could of been a little scarier but still had its moments...The cast, especially the mother and big sister were great, damn that Dani, kids right?..the big sisters scene in the kitchen was great...My only gripes would be, where the hell did the blood in the elevator come from and i didnt love the end monster..it was very similar to The Nic Cage recent horror movie Colour of Space, also dont watch cause its the grossest movie ever......Luv ur channel, hope everything great with ur little one...

this reaction was wild. you both look like people i know and you both are really pretty. sheeeeesh

This movie brought to you by Husqvarna : Feel the power. Husqvarna. Taming the wild. Tested and proven by generations of professionals

I went to watch this at the theater and music was playing (movie didn’t start yet) then later started but no audio only the theater music and watch the firs 2mins or so. And it was creepy without audio but then they fixed it and restarted and it was creepier

I liked this movie! Further exploring the Evil Dead Universe! Hope you two check out the other movies and the TV show Ash VS Evil Dead in the future!

It's connected

Jen said want I thought about throwing Beth's body out of the window,I saw this twice in a cinema.

Holden you should really have her watch the unrated 2013 one I see that one as the best this one was ok

2013 film is scarier! 2013 film fun fact, if you take the first letter from the characters first name it spells demon. I want a Staffanie!

You should also watch the Ash Vs Evil Dead series, great addition to the franchise especially bringing back Bruce Campbell.

Bro, the demon was such a troll in this one. For the most part it was pretty funny. If only they had a Bible in the home. Necronomicawhatever, the Word of God is beating that thing 4-0 Love seeing y’all’s reaction!

Every evil dead movie needs stupid people making dumbass decisions. But what a FUN movie man!

The voice on the recording that said “ It’s called the Book of the Dead for a reason!” Is Bruce Campbell. According to the director he believes this is Ash once again displaced in time in space trying to stop another Deadite invasion.

The shot of Jenn holding her ears with the kid characters was top shelf. Chef's kiss whoever's idea that was.

As a massive Evil Dead fan, this film does justice, I still think the 2013 version of the franchise the best one since the original tho

Loved this movie, the 2013 was more serious/violent whereas the original trilogy plays with comedy a good bit for sure and I thought this one perfectly blended them both.

22:55. The facial changes from Jen are hilarious!!! 🤣

So glad to see this movie being reacted to everywhere now.

I think it’s nice that they’re continuing this IP. Giving the directors/screenwriters the opportunity to either try and make it scary, or campy - or something in between. So much wiggle room breeds creativity. :)

Just discovered your guys's page with this reaction, absolutely loved it! I can't wait for you to watch the 2013 remake. I highly suggest making sure watch the uncut version. It's only about five minutes longer but the scenes that were cut in the theatrical add context to certain scenes in the movie. Also the remake is waaaaaay scarier in my opinion. Can't wait to see more of you guys soon!!

My headcanon as to why the evil possess some but not others is because the Deadites love chaos. They love toying with their prey both physically and psychologically. Honestly, you should definitely check out Ash vs Evil Dead if you haven't. Also we definitely need a John Wick 4 reaction

Watching this in theaters was such an experience because whoever did the sound design murdered all of our eardrums that night 😂

Great value Joey king is crazy loving the content can’t believe coming up on 3 years now since supporting the channel

The 2013 one was really good and it as well as the original has a far bit of backstory to it, about thirty minutes which is about what this has as well. I would love to watch more reactions for this franchise. Don't forget about Ash Vs. The Evil Dead.

22:57 Jen’s face changed from disgust to wondering who the fuck I married😆

Love this film but 2013 is even better and much more terrifying. Probably the perfect horror film imo. Gotta watch it next!

Please watch ALL of the other movies! The Remake included! They're all really good and I think Jen will like them.

18:02 I'm having a great time. Jen is such a wimp (her words, not mine) that watching her react to a horror movie is absolutely epic 😂. Seeing her cover her ears and witness the children of the movie doing the same 1 sec later killed me😂😂. Thx Mr. and Mrs Hardman for that video 👍😂.

Loved the movie, in fact I love all iterations of the franchise. The Evil Dead franchise in my opinion is one of the most solid horror franchises out there. You can see the love for the genre & the franchise by what the creatiors achieved. Lee Cronin did a great job. I also think the sound design was fantastic and might get a nomination for next year's Oscars. That would be a first for the franchise if it happens.

"Badly, it's an adverb" Ouch, remember when I told my mom I had just cut myself badly, first thing she did was correct my grammar... (swedish)

22:54 i like how he keeps going and she just looks at him like "dafuk?"

The editing on this episode is next level hilarious! 😂

Fucking Holden dude lmao “Whoops looks like it’s time for work gtg”, def didn’t just admit to turning the family into cannibals.

I tried to watch this reaction but I lasted only 17 minutes. This dude thinks he's funny. He's not convincing anyone.

You have to watch the2013 remake. A lot of your questions at the end of your video would make sense like the elevator scene and how Bridget got possessed.

I love this movie. SPOILER: Only thing I felt was a little bit silly and over the top was the chewing the eyeball off the neighbour and spitting it way into the other guy’s mouth like a fricking ping pong ball.

22:48 😂😂😂 This is your funniest video guys. You're killing me 😂😂. #HoldenSecretIngredient

it's driving me crazy how people giving praises to Sam Raimi and then suggesting only the Evil Dead movie as if it was his only horror movie , you wanna a scary Sam Raimi horror movie , watch " Drag Me To Hell" that was terrifying

Jen watching this while pregnant is perfect timing, given what it's about. :)

"talk about a sore throat" is THE BEST "talk about" of the channel! Hands down, no question!

One thing I love about the evil dead movies is that to me there isn't a bad movie. There's not another horror series I can think of that doesn't have at least 1 bad entry.

Man I haven’t been spooked by a scary movie in a long time, for whatever reason this one got to me in the theater.

This was my least favorite film of the Evil Dead series. It's like the movie didn't try being scary and I felt bored watching it. I also felt that it didn't add anything new to the series. I also feel that the ending didn't make any sense.

Scariest part of this movie is how the kids just left that perfectly good pizza in the parking garage. 😪

Now she’s GOTTA see the original. I’d love to know what her opinion of Ash Williams is

Not better than the 2013 one

I always love seeing you BOTH react to something for the first time it's such a treat and it always makes my day thanks Jen and Holden, Also grats on your newborn!

I wonder if you guys are going for a non age restricted channel based on the lack of gore in this reaction? Even still it was a great reaction but I just assume go all out because anyone who should be watching this is an adult anyways but that's just me. I'm glad Jen didn't give birth during the filming and yes, you should do Evil Dead 2013. Both of these new additions to the franchise were great. And I hope the new addition to your family is doing great as well. Cheers!!

haven't checked your channel since your harry potter reactions. so glad i stumbled upon it again

Fun fact the voice in the recording that yells “destroy it, it’s called the book of the dead for a reason” is Bruce Cambell’s and the director says it’s canonically supposed to be Ash Williams, the iconic protagonist from most of the other movies. I don’t know how he ended up in that time period but it wouldn’t be the first time he’s time traveled!

Great reaction! I thought Rose was a great return to form after the edgy 2013 reboot - Ash vs Evil Dead was fun, but movies just hit different. Speaking of, I’d recommend at least the first episode of Ash vs Evil Dead as it’s directed by Raimi - I’m not sure if tv shows do well enough for you guys to watch the whole thing, but that pilot is classic Raimi!

That Titanic dream Freud line was a good one! BlUb

I hope you watch the other evil dead movies snd the show ash vs evil dead its all good in their own ways man

We got mom and dad jokes with this one.. great reaction dude and milf

Oh guys you HAVE to watch the 2013 remake. It is a THOUSAND times better and Jen will lose her mind even more so lol Please watch that one.

You need to watch EVIL DEAD 2013

lmao I can't! This was so much fun! Great reaction. 👌😁

Jens face in the thumbnail is everything

I'm shocked there were neighbors on the floor beneath them whom didn't notice any noise above them at all or came out to the crashing sound of the elevator crashing.😂

I liked this one though not many do and they tend to compare it to the 2013 version saying that this was crap and that the 2013 was good but personally I liked them both. Yes 2013 shocked me on a level that I don't even like watching the reactions to it at times because of how horrifying some of the things there are but this one had amazing acting and I think the idea of having the words being played on a record instead of spoken or played off a tape recorder was an original idea. Glad you both liked it and fun fact the actress of Beth said that she was coverd in so much fake blood that she could barely move her arms and legs so she walked around with a water spray bottle so that she could dissolve some of it and allow her to actually move her arms again. Ok let me explian something once infected a person is in many ways already dead exept for Ash who was able to fight it off in the second movie but that is a different story. They are called Deadites and they infect with getting some of their blood in an infected wound or just down right coughing up blood all over the person so that it gets in the mouth. No Deadite is ever the same but all of them always have some ammounts of humor to them and love to toy with those around them. The moment the book is opened and the words are spoken the evil is summoned and must seek out a host. They decided to go to the mother I guess cause she was the closest to the place they were locaited at the time. There are a lot of call backs here for the original movies and that is always fun to see as well.

Lol was that a photo from wolf of wall street over the bed

evil dead 2 and army of darkness are the best

Fun fact, The sound effect when the guys eye gets bit out is Bruce Campbell eating an apple

Cool it with the excessive jokes lol. Other than that great reaction!

This Movie was So Good!

say OH NO again ...

There are 3 books in the Evil Dead universe. The first from the Ash films/series, the second from the 2013 requel, and the 3rd from Rise. All 3 appear in Army of Darkness.

I saw evil dead rise for my birthday back in April. I thought it was creepy and I am now afraid to get inside an elevator because of this movie. You guys are awesome and amazing. Congratulations on the new baby Jen and holden. Love your videos and channel.

2013 is scarier

The Fly (1986) is probably the best movie to watch while preggers. No particular reason it just is.

Fun fact the man that yells " DESTROY IT, IT'S CALLED THE BOOK of the DEAD FOR A REASON" was Bruce Campbell who played Ash. OMGOSH so you have been eating your husband skin in casseroles for years and never knew it "hot damn" haha 😆 I just subscribed to your channel. Let the good times roll!

Saw this in theaters and tried to rewatch it recently but couldn’t finish it for some reason. The writing is so bad!!!! I know that’s kinda of the point and whatnot but watching this type of movie in theaters hits so different compared to watching it at home.

12:39. That was Bruce Campbell’s voice. Looks like Ash got himself stuck in the past again! 🤣

SPOILER ALERT The story feels incomplete. Why the earthquake? Why going in and find the book? It makes no sense. Feels like the story hit a dead end and the whole thing was thrown in. Lacking direction. In the 2013 version, there was a backing up to the book, rise missed that imo. It would make more sense if there was an explanation along the line of the book causing it or something like that, as in, having powers like that. Couldve made it even more creepy imo. Maybe my brain is slow and doesnt connect something that was actually there leading up to it.

That's REALLY unfortunate that you chose to not see any of the previous installments, since so much more reward and tension is built from having seen the previous entries. At the very least, it would have been a good idea to watch the 2013 remake, since this movie thematically feels like a sequel to that film. I've also found that people that try to go backwards in a franchise struggle to like the previous films. Hopefully, Jenn can visit those, and still appreciate the more practical effects and achievements of those movies. Having said all of that, Jenn's reaction was still really good. Please, more horror on the channel. BTW, my biggest critique is the same as Holden's. I didn't think any of the characters were likeable, and worth cheering for. They were just fodder.

1- Going down a hole that appeared right after an earthquack 2- Finding and grabbing vinil discs and an old book inside the hole 3- Finding out the hole is full with crosses and religious stuff.... is this still not enough for someone to know to not take shit from that place??? i would just help my mom to move faster 😂😂😂

I liked the movie,but for me Evil Dead 2 is still my favorite. But,I gotta say,for me the mother made the film. She was such a funny,yet creepy deadite. I'd rank her up there with Ted Raimi's Henrietta as my all time 2 favorite deadites.

Curious as to why ppl are hating for Holden not caring about the family. It’s not a drama so character connection is not essential and they’re meant to die. To me, the only one I could have appreciated for their limited time was the mom and I didn’t care about the rest. Like, at the end, if you are adamant to save the girl, send her under the gate first. When the gate closed I was like “I will miss you”.😂 Gambling 3 lives for 1.

General critique... less character development.

Just to put this film in perspective, Ash Williams would have heard this Deadite cackling menacingly at him, been startled and thrown about a little bit, then cracked a stupid joke and laid a holy beatdown on it. Its weird how normal folks scream in unhinged terror at Deadites, but Ash has zero respect for them.

Looks like Holden is trying to prevent saying the word demon. Which is understandable. Just use the word Deadite. That’s what they are

Would you guys watch ang lees Hulk 2003, i highly reccomend, also would you consider doing series. the actress who plays the possessed woman is in Vikings a show i also highly reccomend.

Hope you two do get to watch the original trilogy and the 2013 requel when you get the chance. Also fun fact when the kid is listening to the vinyl you hear one of the priests say “Destroy it, its called the book of the dead for a reason!’ That was actually Bruce Campbell saying that.

This was really fun watching your reactions throughout! You two really need to do more horror movies on this channel! Nice touch with the cheese grading commentary! LOL

Terrible Evil Dead version. Hard to believe Raimi had anything to do with it. I think he and Bruce just signed their names to this film. Really disappointed with this film since I loved all the other ones.

If there is an earthquake, I will NOT let my pizza or drinks fall. Very unrealistic movie ...

When the wife insists on watching a horror movie only to find out the lead female character is also pregnant.

Watched this movie at the cinemas , great until the end ! The end with them conjoined together ruined it 6/10

@Holden Hardman Aside from this movie, the original trilogy and the remake don't forget there is also an Evil Dead TV series to check out.

Why was the family bad? They all seemed loving of each other. Lots of people have kids and rocky relationships. The important thing is that the family members love each other. Why would you say the family is bad if they seem to love and respect each other?

While this was good I prefer the 2013 movie way more.

Loved y'all watching this but find funny you thought they were a terrible family shocking 🤯
