Evil Dead, The (1981, U.S.A.)

In the summer of 1979, a group of Detroit friends with $375,000 raised from local investors headed for a cabin outside of Morristown, Tennessee to make a film about five college students possessed by an ancient ‘Book of the Dead.’ The filmmakers’ goal was to create “The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Terror” a movie so relentless that it would stand forever as a landmark in modern horror history. When it was released in 1982, it was immediately recognised worldwide as one of the most ferociously original horror films ever made.

Directed by Sam Raimi (Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2), and starring Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness, TV’s Ash vs. Evil Dead).
