This classic horror film is Sam Raimi's legendary directorial debut. Five college friends travel to a backwoods cabin deep in the Tennessee mountains for a weekend of fun and relaxation. Unfortunately, they make a discovery that spoils the party. They find The Book of the Dead, bound in human flesh and written in blood, as well as a tape recorder. When they play the tape, which contains demonic incantations from the book, they unwittingly open a portal to the netherworld and unleash the powers of evil. One by one, all of the friends are possessed and transformed into hideous demons, except for Ash (Bruce Campbell). Since the only way to survive is to dismember the bodies of his friends, an intense blood-and-gore-fest ensues.
After surviving the original Evil Dead, Ash (Bruce Campbell) returns to the same remote cabin in the woods, this time with his girlfriend Annie (Sarah Berry). The two play a taped recording of Professor Knoby reading passages from the Necromomekon, otherwise known as the Book of the Dead. Bad idea! The professor's words summon a powerful dark force from the words, unleashing a terrifying evil. Ash again has to try and survive the night with demons pouring in from the shadows and ghoulish fiends lurking around every corner. Ash rolls into battle with a chainsaw in one hand and a shotgun in the other in this ridiculously gruesome horror/comedy classic from director Sam Raimi.
