For such a bloodied horror experience, the leading ladies of Evil Dead Rise are all smiles and levity as they discuss the "torturous" episode of filming, their own descent into "the abyss", and how exactly Jim Carrey was used as a reference point.

Ahead of the film's global premiere earlier in the year, Peter Gray had the absolute pleasure of speaking with both Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan about heading the charge of the latest instalment in the long-running horror franchise - a twisted tale of their two estranged sisters 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.
