Rev up your chainsaw and ready your boom stick for this Saturday night horror classics double feature.
The Evil Dead
SAT 14 SEP | 6:30PM | Arc Cinema
College students Ash (Bruce Campbell), his girlfriend Linda (Betsy Baker), his sister Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss), and couple Scott and Shelly (Hal Delrich and Sarah York) head to an isolated cabin in the woods for a vacation. When Scott plays an audio recording of incantations from the Book of the Dead, demonic forces attack the cabin, intent on killing or possessing everyone.
Produced on a shoestring budget – with gallons of fake blood made from corn syrup, red food colouring and cocoa powder – The Evil Dead popularised the cabin in the woods horror while starting the careers of director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell.
‘Shot on 16mm for less than $50,000, Sam Raimi's visceral debut remains a benchmark of modern horror’ – Total Film
Evil Dead II (4K Restoration)
SAT 14 SEP | 9PM | Arc Cinema
Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his girlfriend Linda (Denise Bixler) head to a remote cabin for a romantic getaway. When Ash plays an audio recording of incantations from the Necronomicon, it leads to a demonic attack that spirals into the woods and draws in more helpless victims.
With the chaotic energy of a Loony Tunes cartoon and copious amounts of blood, Evil Dead II is one of the greatest horror comedies of all time.
‘Not so much a follow-up as a ruthless self-parody, Evil Dead II ranks as one of the most visually inventive, relentless, and truly original films ever made’ – BBC
