Today we have an exclusive interview with the writer and director of Evil Dead Rise, Lee Cronin, along with sound designer and supervising sound editor Peter Albrechtsen. We discuss how they made this super fun addition to the Evil Dead franchise as well as their collaborative process in crafting one of the creepiest soundtracks you’re likely to experience this year. “Despite the fact that it was contained I wanted the movie to feel epic. And I knew that sound would play a very very important role in that because Evil Dead movies are contained. That’s kind of part of their DNA.” — Lee Cronin, Writer/Director, Evil Dead Rise We have some “epic” clips to share with you, as well as a breakdown of that excruciating cheese grater sequence, so this episode is not for the squeamish. This interview was recorded live at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival.
