Ash battles demonic forces in a remote cabin as Sam Raimi unleashes a delirious mix of horror, slapstick, and practical-effects mayhem.
About this Event

Sam Raimi’s part-remake, part-sequel to The Evil Dead is a masterwork of horror-comedy craft — a runaway freight train of physical comedy, splatter effects, deadite possession, and Bruce Campbell taking on an entire cabin (and, memorably, himself). Ash returns to that fateful cabin in the woods, plays the wrong recording, and unleashes hell for a second time. Every practical effects choice, every crash zoom, every trip through the wall is a lesson in what independent filmmaking can pull off on nerve alone. Groovy.
