Even though it drops into US theatres tomorrow we in the UK have to sit back, arms folded tapping our feet for another couple of weeks yet before we can enjoy Fede Alvarez’s ‘Evil Dead’ redo. But there is some good news, for what its worth, the opening night has been bought forward an entire 24 hours. ‘Evil Dead’ will now hit the UK on Thursday 18 April instead of its originally planned opening on the 19th. And to celebrate how about another couple of clips from the highly anticipated movie itself? Head below to check out the clips ‘In Here With Us’ and ‘Sizzle Reel’ which includes a brief interview with director Alvarez and producer Sam Raimi. The new version of the classic Sam Raimi helmed horror flick from 1981 stars Jane Levy (‘Suburgatory’), Shiloh Fernandez (‘Red Riding Hood’), Jessica Lucas (‘Cloverfield’), Lou Taylor Pucci (‘Carriers’) and Elizabeth Blackmore.
“Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead. An archaeologist’s tape recording reveals that the ancient text was discovered among the Khandarian ruins of a Sumerian civilization. Playing the taped incantations, the youths 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.”
