THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE IN GRUELING HORROR IS BACK WITH
AN IMMACULATE RESTORATION - ONE NIGHT ONLY!

“I’m really glad it’s back. People are gonna be hurt.”
- Bruce Campbell

Grindhouse Releasing and The Screen are proud to present Sam Raimi’s (DRAG ME TO HELL, ARMY OF DARKNESS) original horror classic THE EVIL DEAD - back on the big screen for one night only.

Stephen King hailed THE EVIL DEAD as “the most ferociously original film of the year” when it premiered in 1981. Shot in Michigan and Tennessee, Raimi’s low-budget debut was released independently with a self-imposed ‘No One Under 17′ rating for its graphic violence and gore.

THE EVIL DEAD launched Raimi's career and made star Bruce Campbell a cult movie icon, spawning two hit sequels: EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN and ARMY OF DARKNESS. The EVIL DEAD trilogy has become a fan phenomenon, ranked among the most popular and acclaimed cult horror movies of all time.

It tells the story of five college-age friends who travel to a cabin in rural Tennessee where they stumble upon the Book of the Dead, an ancient tome bound in human flesh and inked in blood. After unwittingly awakening the unspeakable terror told of in its pages, the friends are transformed into demonic zombies one by one, save for Ash (Bruce Campbell). Left with no other way to survive than dismembering the re-animated corpses of his closest friends, can Ash survive a night with THE EVIL DEAD? More importantly, can you?

“While injecting considerable black humor, neophyte Detroit-based writer-director Sam Raimi maintains suspense and a nightmarish mood in between the showy outbursts of special effects gore and graphic violence which are staples of modern horror pictures.”
- Variety

“Energetic, original and icky, Raimi's splat-stick debut is a tight little horror classic that deserves its cult reputation, despite the best efforts of the censors.”
