Demons Bleed Darker in Evil Dead Remake
May 29th, 2012
If this latest behind-the-scenes still from Fede Alvarez is any indication of things to come, the demons of his Evil Dead remake won't be spewing that weird milky white stuff they did in the Raimi version. Dig it!
Ghost House Pictures is producing the much anticipated remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult-hit horror film The Evil Dead the film that effectively launched the careers of Sam Raimi (Spider-Man franchise, Darkman, Drag Me to Hell), Rob Tapert (30 Days of Night) and Bruce Campbell, who played the Ash character and was co-producer of the original. They are now back to produce an Evil Dead for today's audience that's high on the horror, gore, plot twists, and more from a screenplay written by Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues with Diablo Cody. Executive producers are J.R. Young, Nathan Kahane, Joseph Drake, and Peter Schlessel.
A core cast of young, fresh talent includes Jane Levy ("Suburgatory") as Mia; Shiloh Fernandez (Deadgirl, Red Riding Hood) as David; Lou Taylor Pucci (Carriers) as Eric; Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield) as Olivia, and Elizabeth Blackmore (Legend of the Seeker) as Natalie.
Synopsis
Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book of the Dead and unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

My expectations for this couldn't be any lower. The original Evil Dead was catching lightning in a bottle because everyone involved put their heart and soul into the project. This will be nothing more than a quick cash grab and out...

If it's not Evil Dead why call it Evil Dead? I'd be more supportive of this film if they gave it a fresh title.

Doesnt make Me want an Evil Dead remake anymore than before. For such a low budget horror film, the FX in the original Evil Dead are still cool by todays standards. Looks a whole lot better than CGI blood.
