Evil Dead Rise Confirms Ash Williams Needs To Return – But Not In Evil Dead 6

While Evil Dead Rise was a brilliant return for the horror franchise, this doesn’t mean that the next Evil Dead movie should necessarily star Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams. In a weird way, Ash Williams and the Evil Dead series have always been on parallel paths. Director Sam Raimi’s original 1980 movie had a streak of cartoony invention to its gore, and Bruce Campbell’s performance as Ash provided The Evil Dead with plenty of comedic relief. However, while Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness were showcases for Raimi and Campbell’s humor both behind and in front of the camera, The Evil Dead was a genuinely terrifying movie.
