The Evil Dead 4k | Steelbook | 45th Anniversary

Yes. Sam Raimi shot his punk-spirited production on analog 16mm film, the smaller sibling of classic 35mm stock. Its theoretical resolution is naturally somewhat lower, so it should be kept in mind that the detail rendering of the recent 4k scans – from which the studio created a brand-new 4k master – is slightly lower than scans of traditional 35mm film. You should also expect coarser film grain, which is an inherent part of the original footage. Even so, it is clear that the 4k scan has wrung the absolute maximum out of the 16mm negative, and combined with HDR making full use of its exposure latitude, this new transfer delivers the ultimate presentation of Raimi's cult classic.
