Book of the Dead

On May 10, we kick off the week with a brand-new 35mm print of the 1981 original, The Evil Dead. Sam Raimi’s directorial breakout weaponizes it’s no-budget production, creating a blunt instrument of a horror film, that’s still feral and unsettling 40 years later.

The stripped-down horror of The Evil Dead wouldn’t pack the same punch a second time. So, they did what all good horror sequels do and upped the gore. Then they kept going. Then they went just a little further, and turned Evil Dead 2 into a blood-soaked looney-toon horror show.

The Evil Dead films have never held back, so when it was time to leave the cabin, the third chapter went way outside the cabin. Army of Darkness sends Ash (chainsaw hand and all) back in time to fight a Deadite horde alongside King Arthur.

20 years after the last release, the Evil Dead series picked up a new director (Fede Alvarez) and returned to its vicious beginnings. Evil Dead is brutal and horrific, with a bloody finale that takes the series’ grand guignol sensibility to a new level.

Just like the original trilogy, the re-launched Evil Dead knows you shouldn’t do the same thing twice. Evil Dead Rise takes us into the city for the first time, and draws inspiration from all the films that came before, serving up its own unique mix of blood, humor and horror.
