History Film / EvilDeadRise

* AmbiguousSituation: The earthquake which occurs at the start of the movie [[spoiler:not only allowed Danny to locate the Book of the Dead and the vinyls, but also knocked out the power, the phone signal and the stairs, trapping the victims in the building. It's never clarified whether this was sheer coincidence, or whether the Book was establishing a hunting ground before even technically being released.]]

* DenserAndWackier: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, the movie is still DarkerAndEdgier and a lot more serious than the original trilogy, but compared to its direct [[Film/EvilDead2013 predecessor]], this film adds more touches of BlackComedy and camp.

* RapeDiscretionShot: It is heavily implied that the evil did to Ellie with the elevator what it did to [[Film/TheEvilDead Cheryl]] and [[Film/EvilDead2013 Mia]] with the trees, though thankfully this time it doesn't happen onscreen.

* TeensAreShort: Not applicable to Kassie as she's not yet a teenager. However, Bridget and Danny are both teens and noticeably shorter than their mother and to a lesser degree their aunt.

* DaylightHorror: The entire opening lakeside cabin scene with Caleb, Jessica, and Teresa takes place on a bright sunny day.

* GenreBlindness: Danny sees and enters a hidden locked vault containing a mysterious flesh-bound book, with sharp ''teeth'', surrounded by Christian paraphernalia and phonograph recordings where the first record has warnings from priests not to translate the book, and his curiosity still gets the better of him. It's rather justified in his case, as Danny is still just a kid and has no way of knowing how dangerous the book is; before exploring the vault, he mentions wanting to find something valuable and sell it to use the money to help Ellie, giving him a sympathetic reason for taking the book.

* TooDumbToLive: While he didn't go to the same lengths as Eric in the 2013 film and his actions can be somewhat forgiven due to his youth, Danny should probably have thought twice about reading the fleshbound book sealed in a secret vault and closed with a set of actual fangs, especially on the same night that his residence was just struck by an earthquake, thus ensuring that phones would be out of service and the police would be pre-occupied.

** We're introduced to Kassie with her building a doll/spear thingy to ward off nightmares. She impales a Deadite with it later in the film.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Thanks to Mr. Fonda and his shotgun, [[spoiler:although he doesn't live long enough to use it,]] Beth is able to defend herself for a good chunk of the movie.

** An extreme close-up of Deadite Ellie attacking Bridget with a drill, attempting to pierce their eye.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Deadite Ellie's description of her lovely sounding dream as seen at the top of the page [[spoiler: comes to pass at the end of the movie, minus Kassie, and with the roles reversed.]]

*** In a meta angle, [[spoiler: the fact that [[TheCameo Ash]] is heard in a recording from 1923 means that he's [[NoodleIncident somehow been displaced in time]] ''[[NoodleIncident again]]'', presumably following the events of ''Series/AshVsEvilDead''.]]

* AudienceSurrogate: When a priest makes a sermon about reading from "the Book of the Dead" to his congregation they all object, with one priest imploring him to "Destroy it! [[GenreSavvy It's called "The Book of the Dead" for a reason!]]" [[spoiler:Seeing as that "priest" is actually Ash, he would know that firsthand... just like anybody in the audience who's followed his adventures before this.]]

* AudienceSurrogate: When a priest makes a sermon about reading from "the Book of the Dead" to his congregation they all object, with one individual imploring him to "Destroy it! [[GenreSavvy It's called "The Book of the Dead" for a reason!]]" [[spoiler:Seeing as that "priest" is actually Ash, he would know that firsthand... just like anybody in the audience who's followed his adventures before this.]]

* AudienceSurrogate: When the priest makes a sermon about reading from "the Book of the Dead" to his congregation they all object, with one priest declaring [[GenreSavvy "If it's called "Book of the Dead",]] [[NobodysThatDumb we shouldn't read it!!"]] [[spoiler:Seeing as that "priest" is actually Ash, he would know that firsthand... just like anybody in the audience who's followed his adventures before this.]]

* ApartmentComplexOfHorrors: Ellie, theStrugglingSingleMother, lives in a pretty dark and dingy apartment building with her kids, which it turns out has actually been condemned and is scheduled for demolition in a month. It gets even worse when Danny discovers the Book of the Dead and unleashes it upon the apartment residents by mistake. Seemingly all of the remaining inhabitants of the apartment building are gruesomely possessed and/or killed, especially as they're already trapped inside by the earthquake that destroyed the staircase and rendered the elevator inoperable.

* MoodyTrailerCoverSong: The trailer features Doris Day's upbeat "Que Sera Sera" as a slower acapella version resembling an innocent, and given the setting, {{ironic|NurseryTune}} nursery tune.

* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler:It technically occurs in the beginning due to the usage of InMediasRes, but chronologically speaking, the movie ends with Teresa facing off against the Deadite that attacked Beth and Kassie earlier that night.]]
