Thanks to the sickos over at Bloody-D, we now have our first look at Ghost House Pictures reboot of Sam Raimi’s classic horror title, EVIL DEAD. International sales for the film are currently taking place at the American Film Market (AFM), and here’s the branding image they’re currently using to drum up interest. Not much, but at least we now the ball is finally rolling on this sumbitch!
With Fede Alvarez at the helm, the reboot is true to the roots of [Sam] Raimi’s original as it follows a group of friends who hole up in a remote cabin, discover the “Book of the Dead” and accidentally unleash an unrelenting group of Deadites.
The “new spin” is the motivation behind the trip, with the lead character taking his younger sister to the family’s cabin to help her kick her drug addiction. Without her drugs she becomes insane and difficult to control, which makes it impossible to see that she’s actually possessed.
The worst part, though, is that one of the friends unleashes the demons by deciphering the Book of the Dead and reading the passages aloud.
THE EVIL DEAD will rise into theaters sometime in 2013.
