Evil Dead Trilogy [Blu-ray]

Product Information

I did notice some lost detail levels in some of the CGI heavy scenes (Bridget puking maggots, or the final beast form at the end), but overall this is vastly superior to the Blu-ray. In my opinion, though, after weighing-up the assorted features, the US disc wins in this department.

The lightning shot was put back in to the 2002 Anchor Bay Book Of The Dead DVD, and has remained in all subsequent releases. It's been a while since I've heard a TrueHD track (everything seems to be DTS these days), and I was immediately reminded of the wide and spacious sound TrueHD is capable of delivering. They are all involved with the horror industry, and have all been mightily influenced by what Sam Raimi did. Rear activity is also fairly quiet, except for some mild discrete sounds and lights bleeds from the musical score, extending the soundfield attractively. Once played, the voice is heard reciting an evil incantation from the Morturom Demonto – roughly translated, Book of the Dead.

They spend a long time discussing the genesis and the marketing of the film, and the struggles low-budget independent horror products would encounter.

Slade offers us a nice little anecdote about watching the film for the first time during the Video Nasty scaremongering days, but he swiftly becomes a genuine prat when he goes into Bruce Campbell “chin-mode” and then never seems to recover. Following the film from beginning to end, we are shown every single outtake and flub that managed to wind up on film. Not only for its immense influence to future filmmakers, which Eli Roth's ' Cabin Fever' admittedly owes a great deal to, or that its director now carries some pull within Hollywood, but also for its achievement as a long-standing favorite in the horror cinema universe. Whether this release is up-scaled, or simply the quality limits of the 16mm film on which it was shot being reached, is unknown.

Overseen by Sam Raimi, Ash's first encounters with the Kondarian Demons comes with a strong 1080p transfer.The filmmakers clearly love what they are doing, and they're sharing this zeal and mania with their audience. The score is electrifyingly clean and crisp, and remarkably well-detailed right down to instrumental level. The Evil Dead: Treasures from the Cutting Room Floor" (59 min) — This is probably one of the most extensive assortment of alternate takes and deleted scenes I've ever come across.

I can’t begin to tell you the amount of fun I had with Ash vs Evil Dead, it was just a total blast that sadly got taken away from us far too quickly. But, barring Spiegel (who would end as one of the infamous “Fake Shemps” on the production), the ensemble are merely filmmakers who just followed the bloody flag of Raimi and strove forth to create their own micro-budgeted horrors. Nothing too controversial added and nothing taken away, the lossless surround track adds greatly to the atmosphere and helps render some of those stingers that we all know so well with much greater emphasis, and any remix that can make this lunatic sound design fun has just got to be applauded.Gone are The Ladies Of The Evil Dead Meet Bruce Campbell, the 19-minute Unconventional, The Book Of The Dead: The Other Pages and the Reunion Panel.
