IGN, the brutal full trailer to the remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 horror icon
Evil Dead is finally here, and it does not disappoint. Judging by this Red Band trailer which pulls no punches, this version looks bloody, scary as hell, and will easily earn its hard R rating.
Word of re-visiting the film with a new cast and director was of course met with extreme skepticism at first, but once
Evil Dead star and producer, the one and only Bruce Campbell, and director Sam Raimi took a hands-on involvement in the reboot, trepidations quickly subsided for the fans who hold the series in high esteem.
"It's a pretty violent film. There's lots and lots of blood. It's a beautiful movie - visually, actually, it looks so fricking cool,"
Evil Dead star Jane Levy told
Collider at New York Comic Con.
Here is the official synopsis of the film:
"Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover The Book Of The Dead and unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival."
Directed by Fede Alvarez,
Evil Dead stars Jane Levy (
Suburgatory), Shiloh Fernandez (
Red Riding Hood), and Jessica Lucas (
Melrose Place). Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi both serve as producers, and Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody shares a script credit with Raimi and director Alavrez.
The film is set to hit theaters on April 12, 2013.
