‘Evil Dead Rise’ is … another ‘Evil Dead’ movie

Killer

Fincher goes minimalist to get into mind of ‘The Killer’

November 13, 2023November 13, 2023 John Hansen Movies

Movie review: Though not a misfire on the resumes of Fincher or Fassbender, the purposeful simplicity makes it less interesting than most of their work.
