First and Last Shots We Ever Saw of Ash Williams, Side by Side, Will Warm Your Heart

Published

on

With “Ash vs. Evil Dead” cancelled and Bruce Campbell announcing that he’s officially retired from playing Ash Williams, it’s impossible not to be a little sad. At the same time, we must consider how fortunate we’ve been, as fans of the Evil Dead franchise. Not only did we get a kickass remake, but we essentially got “Evil Dead 4” as a 15+ hour movie!

For three seasons, Campbell showed off some of his finest acting chops to date as an older, still wildly immature version of Ash, and for that we feel pretty damn fortunate.

Ash Williams has been in our lives for the past 37 years, first appearing as the fresh faced “final guy” in Sam Raimi’s original Evil Dead. It was in Evil Dead 2 that Ash truly became the Ash we know and love, losing his hand and replacing it with a chainsaw. He then went back in time for Army of Darkness, and fulfilled his destiny in “Ash vs. Evil Dead.”

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
