Evil Dead Rise is both a fitting continuation of the iconic horror-verse established by Sam Raimi in the 1980s and a new vision told by a promising figure in modern horror. The first film in the franchise, The Evil Dead, was released in 1981 and spawned two direct sequels, a re-imagining, and a three-season television show before Evil Dead Rise came to be. Each entry in the franchise has done something decidedly new with the building blocks originally created by Raimi, but a tone and entertainment factor has persisted that makes Evil Dead, Evil Dead.
Bob Clark's 1974 horror film Black Christmas is one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and it has an unforgettably chilling ending. In Black Christmas Billy is considered the villain as he picks off victims one by one, and after almost 50 years, his identity is still debated. The story takes place in a sorority house, where the residents are throwing a Christmas party before they depart. Little do they know, however, that a perverted killer has made his way into the house, and is preparing to pick them off one by one. The Billy Black Christmas character remains in the shadows for most of the movie, that is, until the chilling ending.
