Writer/director Daniel Florenzano’s 2018 feature debut, The Evil Rises is a movie that gets right to the point. The movie begins with a couple digging up a mysterious, ancient statue at a beach party. We know all about the statue because one of the couple’s friends attended a seminar a few months ago. We can now watch as the partygoers decide to deal with their discovery in the most disastrous way possible… which results in them being all but wiped out before the opening credits are over. The opening credits are a great way to start a movie! Florenzano brought a unique twist to the story. It was a simple, yet effective story for a writer/director who had never done it before. The official synopsis of The Evil Rises is: An ancient statue unleashes a spirit that enslaves a group of friends to collect blood to bring the evil spirit back to life. It’s up a detective, priest, and pizza boy to infiltrate a sinister compound of the group to ward off the evil spirit before it’s too far. Joe Paulson is the detective, Ed Hollingsworth is the priest, and Alec Lobato plays Chazz the Pizza Boy. Hollingsworth died in 2020, aged 72, after nine screen credits. He was best known for his roles as Dr. James O’Hara on an episode of The Golden Age: Heroes of Men, a butler in
Daydream Hotel, Travis Bentley in the crime thriller Carbon
