I like that Lee [Cronin, director] moved it from the cabin in the woods to a different setting, so I would say I would probably want to keep that evolution going and put it in a different setting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think\u2026 you know going to space is a little too much, but yeah something different!\u201d<\/p> <p>Released in cinemas back in April, the film was especially acclaimed by fans of Sam Raimi\u2019s beloved original trilogy \u2013 but Sutherland herself had no prior relationship with the films before auditioning for the role.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a scaredy cat,\u2019 she explains. \u201cSo I historically have not watched a lot of horror films \u2013 they ruined me when I was like 11 and ruined my brother as well who was even younger. I struggle with them. So I hadn\u2019t watched any of them until after I made my audition tape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[But] I watched the films when I heard that Lee wanted to have a chat, one and two. I really enjoyed two specifically because it was just like I\u2019d never seen anything like this before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/evil-dead-rise-prosthetics-exclusive-newsupdate\/&quot;\">Evil Dead Rise prosthetics designer explains how he created gory make-up<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"&quot;headline\" post-header__title=\"\" post-header__title--headline-layout=\"\"><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/evil-dead-rise-cabin-woods-exclusive-newsupdate\/&quot;\">Evil Dead Rise director explains why he avoided cabin in the woods setting<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"&quot;mt-sm\" pr-xxs=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" body-copy-large=\"\"\/>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given Sutherland is a self-confessed scaredy cat, you might wonder if there were any parts of the film \u2013 either during production or watching it back \u2013 that left her feeling especially squeamish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery specifically when we were in ADR, that was when I first started seeing what the film was looking like and I had forgotten about the scissors going up my nose for some reason,\u201d she replies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI forgot that that moment happens when it happens, and the first time I saw it I just started giggling. I couldn\u2019t help it, but I think because I know how everything was shot I\u2019m kind of removed from what it looks like on screen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause Evil Dead is known for doing as much as they can practically, so it\u2019s like when you\u2019ve been on the inside of that process there\u2019s a numbness to it I think that happens. But I had forgotten and I just started laughing because I thought it was really funny!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even if she wasn\u2019t too terrified herself though, the heavy prosthetics and make-up she was required to wear after her character had been transformed into a Deadite caused some rather uneasy moments for others on set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was always the reaction of other people when I would go from my trailer into breakfast,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019d stand in line with everyone and the crew would be like, \u2018You don\u2019t look so good!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Evil\" dead=\"\" rise=\"\" official=\"\" trailer=\"\" band=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BqQNO7BzN08?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p><b><span lang=\"&quot;EN-US&quot;\">Evil Dead Rise is now available on digital download and will be available to buy on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD, including a limited special edition SteelBook, from Monday 17<sup>th<\/sup> July. <\/span><\/b><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Film<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article&quot;\"><strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a><strong>.
