Evil Dead Rise age rating: Why is the movie rated R?

Rated R stands for “restricted,” which means those who are 17 years old cannot enter the movie alone and have to have a parent with them. The age rating is usually given due to adult and mature material portrayed in a production.

When it comes to Evil Dead Rise, the Motion Picture Association has given the film a R rating because of strong bloody horror violence and gore, as well as some of the language used. Actually it’s so mature, Warner Bros. Pictures released two trailers, a Red Band one and a Green Band video. The Red Band should be viewed by adults only, while the Green Band is scaled back for younger audiences.

The supernatural horror stars Alyssa Sutherland as Ellie and Lily Sullivan as Beth in the leading roles as the estranged sisters. Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher, Jayden Daniel, Tai Wano, Billy Reynolds-McCarthy, and Mia Challis round out the cast.
