The Evil Dead Trilogy at Plaza Maplewood Theatre
Spider-Man director Sam Raimi established the blueprint for young filmmakers with small budgets, clever ideas, and little interest in art for art’s sake with his debut film, The Evil Dead: Make a grubby genre picture loaded with ironic humor and excessive style. Raimi would later essentially remake the movie as the self-consciously campier (and more fun) Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn, in which five college students—led by the now-iconic Bruce Campbell—visit a cabin in the woods, discover an ancient text, and unleash a demonic force that sends them on a killing spree. Raimi’s inventive approach to visceral shocks juices the story, with slapstick nods to The Three Stooges amid the dance of severed limbs and invisible spirits. The fun, gory romp Army Of Darkness wound up the series by casting Campbell, chainsaw, Oldsmobile, and boomstick back into the medieval age for a full-scale war on the undead.
