10 Things I Learned From The ‘Evil Dead’ Trailer… 55 Screen Grab Images!!
FilmDistrict has read the incantation and resurrected the official trailer premiere for Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead, which opens in theaters April 12, 2013!
It’s been an interesting few weeks here on Bloody Disgusting. Since the first image hit, and the trailer leaked out of the New York Comic-Con, we’ve been extremely excited. Unfortunately, not all of you agree. The word “remake” stings quite a bit, especially when you’re talking about Sam Raimi’s cult 1981 The Evil Dead. It definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but, it’s hard to ignore the fact that this film was obviously made for us. With Paramount releasing ultra-safe horror like Paranormal Activity and The Devil Inside, Sony and FilmDistrict are venturing into new territory. From my perspective, they’re dipping their toes into the waters of “dangerous” cinema. Most of us will be in theaters April 12, but will the rest of the country? Evil Dead looks absolutely, fantastically brutal. And that’s cause for some celebration.
Ok, enough filibustering. After watching the first red band trailer, I not only took 55 screen grabs for you guys to dig through (HD grabs forthcoming), but I quickly dissected them into 10 things I learned from the Evil Dead trailer. You’ll find it all inside.
1: Elizabeth Blackmore lops off her arm, giving homage to Ash’s (Bruce Campbell) self inflicted injury in Evil Dead 2.
2: An unknown person or persons had previously read from the Book of the Dead, and penned warnings inside. Lou Taylor Pucci reads the incantations and unleashes the evil.
3: Another homage to Raimi’s original trilogy comes when Shiloh Fernandez uses a chainsaw.
4: Echoing Cheryl’s (Ellen Sandweiss) horrific The Evil Dead experience, Jane Levy also gets raped by a demonic tree.
5: These demons are self-mutilating masochists.
6: Instead of a collapsed bridge, a massive flood traps the group.
7: Alvaraz shows some love for Raimi’s original by utilizing his “motorcycle” shots through the woods.
8: The infamous cabin looks like the same cabin from the original.
9: Evil Dead looks a tad bit like Platinum Dunes’ Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. Concerning? Maybe.
10: Lastly, I’m shocked this reboot will receive an R-rating. It looks astoundingly grotesque and violent (thumbs up!).
And with that I present to you 55 screen grabs that’ll give you a better look inside the trailer. Watch for an HD version tomorrow.

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