The Evil Dead

What better way to blow off steam than to go on a brief weekend vacation? However, as Michigan State University student Ash Williams and his companions--his girlfriend Linda, his sister Cheryl, their friend Scott, and his girlfriend Shelly--arrive at a cheap, weather-beaten cabin in the tangled woods of rural Tennessee, nothing can prepare them for what's to come. Before long, strange findings in the basement and cryptic, unintelligible incantations lead to a night of pure terror as dormant malevolent forces creep into our world. Now, a parasitic power corrupts and mutates the human flesh, and thick, bright-red blood stains the solitude of the encircling mountains. Is there an escape from the demonic madness and the plague of the Evil Dead?
