Evil Dead | Horror series by Sam Raimi and his followers

Evil Dead

The cult horror saga Evil Dead is one of the most essential milestones of the genre. It all started in 1981, when then-unknown director Sam Raimi and his friend and actor Bruce Campbell shot an independent film for just a few dollars, shocking the world. The series became a legend thanks to its revolutionary use of a dynamic camera (the so-called "shaky cam" mounted on a simple wooden board), an extreme amount of fake blood, and the birth of pop-culture icon Ash Williams with a chainsaw instead of a hand.

The uniqueness of the series lies in its genre diversity and continuity, which has been entertaining audiences for decades. Following the raw and purely horror-driven debut came Evil Dead II (1987), where Sam Raimi brilliantly combined brutality with slapstick comedy. The trilogy was then concluded with the fantasy-comedy ride Army of Darkness (1992). Years later, the franchise returned to its dark and bloody roots: first in 2013, director Fede Álvarez helmed an uncompromising, chilling reboot titled Evil Dead, and in 2023, director Lee Cronin moved the demons from the cabin to a city high-rise in the box-office hit Evil Dead Rise.

Whether you are a fan of Raimi's original trilogy or prefer modern, digitally precise visual terror, you will find the entire saga gathered together in this category. Enjoy the evil awakened from the Necronomicon in the highest possible quality on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, in collectible steelbooks, or on classic Blu-ray and DVD discs.
