The cool thing about Lee is he stuck to his guns on that shot. What did the hallway require in terms of color and texture? I ask because there’s a fantastic shot from the point-of-view of the keyhole, in which a lot of action unfolds.Įveryone was a bit like, “Is the whole thing gonna play out through that?” It worked really well. So, that was the first challenge what does the actual building look like? And then what does the interior look like to marry those two together?

There’s nothing going for it apart from this interesting shape, which we had to then design the top for. When we started proper pre-production on Evil Dead Rise, that ended up being the building in the movie, which we added to since it’s only four levels. It wasn’t tall enough, but the bottom of it felt quite good. It used to be an old college, but now it’s this empty building in town, four stories tall. I’d completely forgotten about it until Evil Dead Rise. We found this location, and to the left of the street we were using for a commercial, there was this brick building.

There’s one building I saw when I worked on a TV commercial for Taco Bell. I started scouting around Auckland for places we could maybe use as the foundation of it.
But we felt that it didn’t feel quite right, so it came down to a smaller building.

When Lee and I first spoke, the apartment was potentially going to be a full highrise. We could give it a look that was consistent since it’s the same people building it, making it, and designing it.Īnd what about creating Ellie’s apartment? I think we were on location for four days in total the rest was in the studio and this warehouse.

I think that’s why the movie feels so contained. We also created the vault set, and then we built the cabin. When it would rain outside, it would rain inside the studio as well. It was the worst film studio you could imagine, but it was big. We had this big old warehouse space rented for us. How did you make the film feel so contained and claustrophobic? We spoke to Bassett about creating Ellie’s terrifying apartment from scratch, finding the right spaces in Auckland, New Zealand, and why green is a key color for emphasizing buckets of blood.
His work helped realize a movie that offers enough chills to make you want to move to the Valley for good. With the fifth film in the series, though, Bassett worked with a completely different environment: an apartment in Los Angeles. The mayhem on display was, in part, breathed into bloody life by Bassett’s work.īassett is no stranger to the horror franchise - he previously worked on the Starz television show Ash vs.
An earthquake shakes loose a hidden vault that’s home to an ancient tome, and from there, the film lives up to its title and then some. The arrival of Ellie’s estranged sister, Beth (Lily Sullivan) sets Ellie on edge, and things only get edgier (and gorier) from there. Tattoo artist Ellie (Alyssa Sutherland) lives in a dilapidated bank-turned-apartment complex with her three children, Danny (Morgan Davies), Bridget (Gabrielle Echols), and Kassie (Nell Fisher). The new installment gets a fresh look in director Lee Cronin’s sequel, thanks in part to production designer and art director Nick Bassett.Įvil Dead Rise is focused on two estranged sisters and the hell that’s unleashed once they’re reunited. The franchise’s iconic location, however, is nowhere to be seen in Evil Dead Rise. The Evil Dead franchise is all about cabin life.
