- "EVIL DEAD RISE doesn’t shy away from what makes the franchise so great: rivers of blood, unrelenting evil wearing familiar faces, and ingenious weaponry in the standing off against the demonic unknown."
- TheWrap - "A perfect onboarding movie for newer audiences who’ve never seen an EVIL DEAD movie, but for longtime fans, it breathes new air into a classic horror-comedy franchise, mixing Raimi’s old-school approach with the new school of gruesome horror."
- Polygon - "Wicked, effed-up, heartfelt and witty: EVIL DEAD RISE is a nearly perfect continuation of a cult-favorite franchise."
- Austin American-Statesman - "Cronin successfully delivers a new chapter in the Necronomicon and slays the screen with artistic rigor until the credits roll."
- indieWire - "Lee Cronin, cast, and crew have delivered a romp of a horror film that honors the legacy and tradition of Sam Raimi’s films, as well as charts its own course forward."
- The Hollywood Outsider - "Cronin and his technical team know exactly what they’re doing and deliver all the bloody cheese grater scrapes, demonic strangulation by wire, and jump scares that are to be expected."
