Chronicling the remote getaway from hell, The Evil Dead follows five University friends (including horror icon Bruce Campbell) as they journey to an ominous cabin in the woods.
Happening upon a cursed tape, which when played, releases a horde of demons from the woods, they begin the fight for their lives, as the group falls victim to nightmarish possessions.
A hallmark in low-budget genre cinema for its staggering make-up and practical effects work and a calling card for Sam Raimi’s energetic filmmaking prowess, The Evil Dead remains a gory – and groovy – horror staple.
