Evil Dead Rise Interview: Meet Alyssa Sutherland, Your New Favorite Deadite

You don’t get a better Evil Dead deadite performance than what Alyssa Sutherland delivers in the franchise’s newest installment, Evil Dead Rise. Sutherland plays Ellie in the film. She lives in a Los Angeles apartment building with her three kids, Danny (Morgan Davies), Bridget (Gabrielle Echols), and Kassie (Nell Fisher). When Ellie’s sister, Beth (Lily Sullivan), comes for a visit, their opportunity to reconnect is obliterated by the discovery of a Necronomicon. When the book is opened and the spell is recited, its evil is unleashed and goes straight into Ellie turning her into a deadite and sparking maximum chaos and carnage in the building. In celebration of Evil Dead Rise’s nationwide theatrical release, Sutherland took the time to join me for a Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party conversation to discuss her journey in film and television thus far.
