Rasputinian Death: Deadite Bridget qualifies as this. She is not only whacked with pans, impaled through the mouth, and set on fire, but also, after fusing with Ellie and Danny, she is finally killed by being thrust into a wood-chipper.

The Cameo
 Evil Dead Rise / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Bruce Campbell has an uncredited one as the priest on the recording telling the main priest it's a bad idea to read the book. According to Word of God, this priest is none other than a time-displaced Ash Williams. In a sound effect sense, Word of God also confirms Bruce provided the foley sound of Dead Ellie biting Gabriel's eye out by biting into a apple. The Oldsmobile Delta-88, true to form, appears in the underground parking garage.

comment
Ambiguous Situation: The earthquake which occurs at the start of the movie 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.

 Evil Dead Rise / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: We see a wood-chipper has been parked in the parking lot at the start of the movie. It gets used at the end of the movie. We're introduced to Kassie with her building a doll/staff thingy (Staffanie) to ward off nightmares, and it getting broken in a tussle with her big sister, leaving it a sharpened spear. She impales a Deadite with it later in the film. The scissors that Kassie took to make the spear as well; when Ellie asks Kassie if she took them, Kassie claims she didn't and hides them under the couch, allowing them to be grabbed and stabbed into Deadite Ellie's head later in the film. When Ellie sends the kids to go get pizza, we're shown that the apartment garage door is unreliable and doesn't open the first time you click the remote. This delays Beth and Kassie's escape long enough for the Ellie-Danny-Bridge Deadite to catch up with them.

comment
Genre Blindness: 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. He also doesn't read from the book but unfortunately incidentally plays a recording of it, and when he properly tries to stop it, it doesn't let him.

Malevolent Mutilation: As with the 2013 film, the Deadites in this chapter are big fans of this trope. The possessed Jessica pulls a drone into her face, Ellie uses her tattoo gun on herself, and Bridget munches on shards of glass to kill the creepy-crawlies in her tummy.

However, the evil released from the Naturom Demonto is still out there, free to sow chaos in the mortal world, as it does with Jessica at the end.

Hero of Another Story

Hero of Another Story: Akin to Professor Knowby, the Priest on the records seemed to have genuinely good intentions behind wanting to use the book, hoping to communicate with the dead. Word of God is that Ash Williams is the one on the first record urging the Priest not to read from the book. What he's doing in 1923 after we last saw him in a post-apocalyptic future is not explained. Or perhaps, on his way from 1300 AD, he stopped for a bit in 1923, before moving on to 1992.

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Downplayed; Kassie is introduced cutting the head off of a doll and placing it on top of a spear, as way to ward off nightmares. Which, sure enough, it does! However, little girls destroy their dolls in “creative” ways all the time, and Kassie is otherwise shown to be a perfectly normal, if kinda morbid, little girl.

Apartment Complex of Horrors: Ellie, the Struggling Single Mother, 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.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Evil Dead Rise / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: As Beth and Kassie escape down the elevator, all of the other previously disposed of neighbors get resurrected as Deadites. Although Beth defeats the "main" Deadite in the Ellie-Bridget-Danny fusion, these Deadites are never seen again. Though they are likely the reason why Jessica is possessed in the first place, given she's a building resident. Word of God says that this is a potential plot thread being considered for one of the many sequel ideas. It's ambiguous whether Mr. Fonda's cat survives the film. The possessed Ellie follows it up into the airvent as a way to get back into the apartment, and the cat is never seen again, alive or dead, after that point.

Rape Discretion Shot: It is heavily implied that the evil did to Ellie with the elevator what it did to Cheryl and Mia with the trees, though thankfully this time it doesn't happen onscreen.

Audience Surrogate: 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! It's called "The Book of the Dead" for a reason!" 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.

Took a Level in Badass
 Evil Dead Rise / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: From a franchise perspective, these Deadites are stronger and more resilient than the ones seen in previous movies, games, and TV series. Fire and dismemberment won't stop them fully because they will come back strong or figure out a way to attack without a limb. The try-and-true method of full-body dismemberment doesn't even fully work. After Beth uses a wood chipper to kill a fusion of her sister, niece, and nephew, that doesn't stop the evil.

Foreshadowing: Deadite Ellie's description of her lovely sounding dream as seen at the top of the page comes to pass at the end of the movie, minus Kassie, and with the roles reversed. Kassie playfully hits Bridget with her doll-head mop-stick spear thing causing it to break with a dangerously sharp point. It's used against Bridget again after she succumbs to the Deadite possession. Kassie is introduced popping the head off a doll to make Staffanie. Later, Deadite Ellie tries to cut her head off to add her to the family Deadite fusion.

Too Dumb to Live: 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. And he did try to stop the record player as soon as the priest started to actually read aloud from the Book, it just refused to let him.

Earthquakes Cause Fissures: The plot happens thanks to a small fissure opening a way into the vault where the third Book of the Dead and the discs related to it were sealed. As a bonus, the earthquake that made it knocked out the power and destroyed the stairs leading to the lower levels of the buildings, stranding the family and their neighbors and preventing them from calling for help.

Shout-Out
 Evil Dead Rise / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: An elevator full of blood out of The Shining shows up, except this time we get to see inside it! Deadite Ellie sneaks back into the apartment by crawling in through an air duct in the ceiling, a la the xenomorphs in Aliens. There's even a tabby that gives it the idea. In fact, Kassie may be regarded as an Expy to Newt, especially since she's captured in the climax, and the heroine has to go back and rescue her. Jake early in the film asks Bridget if she wants to come to his place to watch all the Freddy movies. This one doubles as a Mythology Gag, since the first two Evil Dead movies also had references to the films of Wes Craven. In the first A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), the Final Girl watches the original Evil Dead in one scene. The use of a wood chipper in the climax might be a reference to Fargo, which itself featured a rather sidewise reference to the Evil Dead films. Fargo co-director Joel Coen worked as an editor on the first Evil Dead.

Word of God is that Ash Williams is the one on the first record urging the Priest not to read from the book. What he's doing in 1923 after we last saw him in a post-apocalyptic future is not explained. Or perhaps, on his way from 1300 AD, he stopped for a bit in 1923, before moving on to 1992.

In the recordings, the priest mentions he attempted burying the Deadites on consecrated ground as a method of stopping them; in Evil Dead, live burial was identified as a way to free a person from possession and was successfully used to save Mia.
