The remake of the 1981 cult-hit The Evil Dead by Sam Raimi, Evil Dead is the first feature film by Fede Alvarez (and produced by Bruce Campbell).

The premise of the story is the same: a group of five friends retreats to a quiet and remote cabin in the woods during their holiday, where they stumble across the Book of the Dead. The book contains horrific illustrations and warns that none of the writings in the book should be read aloud. Of course, such admonitions are ignored by Eric, resulting in the release of an evil spirit. Alvarez does not hide his tribute to Raimi’s film, recreating similar shots and scenes, but unlike the low-budget original, it benefits from a higher production value and emphasizes the gory, bloody aspect of the story.
