The Evil Dead

Screening Dates:
Fri 31 October 11:45pm

Director: Sam Rami
Cast: Bruce Campbell

A late night Hallowe’en screening of Sam Raimi’s archetypal horror.

Five college kids take a holiday in a remote log cabin where they find the mysterious Book of the Dead and a tape recording that belonged to the owner of the cabin. In the surrounding Tennessee forest the evil dead lie in wait for the ancient incantation that will give them license to inhabit bodies of the living. Watch in horror as the five friends listen to the tape recording and unwittingly resurrect the slumbering demons.

One-by-one, Cheryl, Scotty, Linda and Shelly are possessed by the spirits of the dead and turned into grotesque murdering zombies whose thirst for revenge is insatiable. As the night wanes, only one man remains: Ash (Bruce Campbell). He must now defend himself while trying to uncover the horrible secret of the Evil Dead.
