About Evil Dead

Evil Dead is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by Fede Álvarez, in his feature directorial debut, who co-wrote the screenplay with Rodo Sayagues. It is a soft reboot and the fourth installment in the Evil Dead film series and stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, and Elizabeth Blackmore. The story follows a group of five people under attack by a corpse-animating demonic entity in a remote cabin in the woods. Talks for a fourth Evil Dead film began in 2004, with original film actor Bruce Campbell about the possibility for a next film in the franchise. The project was officially announced in July 2011, with Ghost House Pictures producing it, Diablo Cody in the process of revising the script, and Fede Álvarez chosen as the director. Much of the cast joined from January to February 2012. Principal photography took place in March 2012 and wrapped in May in New Zealand outside of Auckland, lasting about a month. Evil Dead had its premiere at South by Southwest on March 8, 2013, and was released in the United States on April 5, by Sony Pictures Releasing through their TriStar Pictures label. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $97 million worldwide against a production budget of $17 million. A fifth installment, titled Evil Dead Rise, was released by Warner Bros. Pictures, on April 21, 2023.
