Evil Dead is unmistakably one of the most incredible '80s horror movies in existence, but the Evil Dead timeline is confusing, and Evil Dead Rise doesn't help the matter. The franchise definitely needs clarification in order to get the full experience from Raimi's gore-laden, off-the-wall classics, the 2023 movie, and the spin-off TV show, as they're all canon, even the 2013 remake. The Evil Dead is loved by horror fans because it's so bombastic, outrageous, and contains weird high-concept plot elements, but that also means that watching the Evil Dead movies in order creates a confusing timeline.
