Recognizing the importance of not being afraid to embarrass yourself on a project that demands such extremes, both actors praise Cronin for making them feel secure enough to do whatever felt authentic to their characters whenever the camera was rolling. It's like how I imagine those rooms are where you destroy and hit things." "Like there's a shot of me at the door and I'm kind of just railing and going for it - it's incredible. "So, I found that it wasn't that hard for me to feel a bit of rage, and getting it out and expressing it was really therapeutic," she goes on. I certainly have a history… I've been conditioned by society to sacrifice myself and make other people comfortable at the risk of making myself uncomfortable – but that's better than making a man uncomfortable," Sutherland admits. "Turns out, I have a lot of unexpressed rage, and I think a lot of women can relate honestly. a cheese grater all due to a increasingly unhinged, zombified Ellie. In the story, Beth and the youngsters are trying to avoid being injured by things like a tattoo gun, a wine glass, a wood chipper, and. Over the course of four months, she didn't just wield a chainsaw but a shotgun, a big ol' pair of scissors, and more too.

To avoid time-consuming clean-up at the end of the carnage-filled days, Evil Dead Rise was largely filmed chronologically, which meant that the stunts, violence, and scares got bigger (and stickier) as its practical production went on – culminating in an elevator full of the gooey, red stuff and "the craziest monster" Sullivan has ever seen.
Just like, 'what do we have on tap today? How do we get through today?' It's like baby steps." "Obviously, we're doing our prep as actors, but to prep for an Evil Dead film? I actually sort of think less is more and you have to take it moment by moment. You can't really map it out too much," says Sutherland, who argues she had a much easier time of it during production. "With something like this, you sort of just have to take it day by day. I'd be like, 'I will get the chainsaw soon, I will get the chainsaw soon.'" It was the only thing holding me at the end. Thank god for the chainsaw moment that kept getting me through. It's an Evil Dead film, it takes place over a very short period of time same costume every day, and you're just in constant survival mode. It was like my body was going into overdrive. Some days, honestly, my body would go into overdrive and there would just be certain moments where I'd go into micro-panic attacks and just be a bit frozen. "I'd be like, 'let me be the one toying instead of in constant fight or flight'. But yeah, my nervous system was shot," Sullivan recalls. "Acting almost comes last in a way because to pull off the gags and the suspense element to it, it's such a dance with the camera, it's such a dance with the set decoration.

Not that her enthusiasm for the genre could adequately prepare for the sequel's arduous albeit "fun" shoot in New Zealand – or the 1,717 gallons of fake blood they went through on set. But do I want to watch them at home at night-time? Probably not. "It can be an incredible, communal thing and I've been trying to chase the high ever since, and going to cinemas. You go and you watch it in a cinema, not in your living room at night, and you have the experience with everyone," Sutherland notes.

That said, Sutherland has found a new appreciation for the genre having worked on Evil Dead Rise and watched the movie with a bunch of excitable gore hounds at South by Southwest earlier in 2023. There's something deliciously ironic about the fact that Sutherland, who is a self-proclaimed wuss when it comes to scary movies after being scarred for life by Tim Curry's It when she was 11, is the one terrorizing Sullivan, a horror lover since she was a child, onscreen.
