A scene from Evil Dead Rise 2023
Danny

I thought I should tie her up. Just in case.

Beth

I wanna listen to that vinyl.

Danny

It's too dangerous. Those words...

Beth

Yeah, well, maybe there's words on there that can help stop all of this.

Danny

We've got no power to run a turntable.

Beth

I can fix that. [solders vinyl player power cord to battery]

Danny
[to Beth holding up records]

I listened to the first and then he spoke the words on the second.

Beth
[sighs]

I guess I'll start at the other end, then. [hands kitchen knife to Danny] Just in case.

Father Marcus Littleton

It is now two nights since I read aloud from the book. My want to understand and commune with the other side could not have been more misguided. I make this final recording as a warning to whoever next comes into contact with its malignant pages. Naturum Demento cannot be destroyed. When you find it, bury it deep in our secret vault, for the words I uttered have unleashed a demonic entity beyond my darkest nightmare.

Kassie

Is Bridget gonna come back like Mom?

Danny

I don't know, Kass.

Father Marcus Littleton

The demon possessed Cortez first, rotting him from the inside out. With the might of our Lord's words, we tried to drive out the foul entity but it mocked our prayers and took Shanahan under its control. Fellow priests came to our aid but the possession quickly spread amongst them without rhyme nor reason. [cat meows and snarls softly] This evil is not governed by the rules of man. No, it takes its pleasure in creating terror through total chaos. Desperate to end this curse, I tried to kill what were once my brothers. I led them to the woodshed and set it ablaze. But they danced in its flame and reveled in its burn. [Danny and Kassie realize Ellie is in air ducts]

Kassie

Mr. Fonda's kitty hides up there sometimes.

Danny

I don't think it's a cat.

Father Marcus Littleton

I buried their squirming, spitting corpses in consecrated earth. But they arose again, rotting and rage-filled.

Kassie
[Danny reaches for door handle]

Careful, Danny. [Bridget flies in room and attacks Danny]

Father Marcus Littleton

After hiding in the cellar for a night, I knew only one choice remained. Complete bodily dismemberment.

Deadite Bridget

Told you, you should've put the book back, Danny. [Deadite Bridget attacks Danny with knife who then attacks Bridget with an accelerant flame]

Father Marcus Littleton

I chopped, and I hacked, and I... I failed. [thudding] I can hear them outside the doors now, begging for me. It is only a matter of time before I am taken too. Nothing can stop this demonic force. Even its final remnants will come after you. You must run. All you can do is run! This horror will not stop until innocence is destroyed. Until evil... [in distorted voice] ...be thy name.
