Overview

Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead achieved instant, lasting cult status back in 1982 for its gleeful splatter effects and gruesome gallows humour. Film historian Bill Warren has had unlimited access to the Evil Dead archives, and takes us behind the scenes to look at how Raimi and his enthusiastic crew created a modern horror classic, revolutionising the independent film industry. Warren goes on to examine the making of the two sequels, the bigger-budgeted The Evil Dead 2 and the epic Army of Darkness, and the ever-increasing popularity of the Evil Dead trilogy.
