Meet Alyssa Sutherland, the 'Evil Dead Rise' actress who's haunting your nightmares. In the spirit of motivation before filming started, Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin told Alyssa Sutherland that her character could make the list of all-time horror movie villains.
Curses rarely get explained in horror movies. It's not like a bite akin to a zombie movie, although that may appear this way. For example, in Evil Dead Rise, Ellie pricks Bridget with a tattoo needle. This scratch leads to Bridget getting possessed in a scene that shows the cut cracking and taking over her body.
