Francis Galluppi ’s The Last Stop in Yuma County came and went in 2024 without much fanfare. While it received strong critical notices and currently has a 97% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes , the thriller didn’t make a dent at the box office. And yet, it made such a mark on director Sam Raimi that he asked Galluppi to helm an upcoming installment in the Evil Dead franchise, which will release after 2026’s Evil Dead Burn .

The Last Stop in Yuma County is a twisty, tense ride , and one of the best features of 2024. While it lacks any supernatural elements, its plot plays into the strengths of Raimi’s Evil Dead movies, and his skill behind the camera hints that Galluppi could easily make the transition from the desert to the Deadites .
