New Horror Documentary Web Series Launches With ‘The Evil Dead’
The Evil Dead… from conception to creation and reception to aftermath.
Fan-made docs about horror movies/franchises such as Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, Fright Night and Pet Sematary have recently been massive treats for all of us, and we expect that many more are soon on the way – as we recently told you, filming is gearing up to begin on a doc all about the 1990 adaptation of IT!
While we wait for more feature length docs that dig deep into our favorite movies, Demented Pictures’ Mike Rydal has taken it upon himself to launch a web-series devoted to bite-sized mini-documentaries about some of the genre’s best and brightest.
The new series just launched this week with Episode 1, all about The Evil Dead!
Running just under 20-minutes long, Rydal’s Evil Dead doc is absolutely jam packed with behind the scenes insights as well as fun facts, covering nearly every stage of the production and even touching upon everything Evil Dead-related that came in the wake of Sam Raimi’s classic film. For such a short video, it’s pretty incredible how deep he dives into all things Evil Dead.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
