The Evil Dead
Part of Video Nasties
Ashley "Ash" Williams, his girlfriend and three pals hike into the woods to a cabin for a fun night away.
There they find an old book, the Necronomicon, whose text reawakens the dead when it's read aloud.
The friends inadvertently release a flood of evil and must fight for their lives or become one of the evil dead.
'Sam Raimi’s 1981 breakout feature remains profoundly unsettling due to the gonzo vigour with which he attacks his subject' - Kevin Maher, The Times
