Irish director Lee Cronin has unveiled the first trailer for his new film, Evil Dead Rise, which is due in cinemas in April.
The latest instalment in the Evil Dead franchise has also been written by Dubliner Cronin, who received plaudits for his 2019 feature debut, Irish horror The Hole in the Ground.
Releasing the Evil Dead Rise trailer, distributor StudioCanal said: "Evil Dead Rise stars Lily Sullivan (I Met a Girl, Barkskins), Alyssa Sutherland (The Mist, Vikings), Morgan Davies (Storm Boy, The End), Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence) and introducing Nell Fisher (Northspur).
"Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, Evil Dead Rise tells the twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sutherland and Sullivan, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable."
Evil Dead Rise includes the franchise's creator, director Sam Raimi, and star Bruce Campbell among its executive producers.
The film will be released in Irish cinemas on Friday 21 April.
