Evil Dead (Collector's Edition)

Product Information

MPAA and earned an "R" rating with this level of nastiness intact; the end scene in particular is quite difficult to stomach. Seeing as how the franchise is one that continuously and consciously breaks its own rules, which is part of the humor and enjoyment, Alvarez keeps to the tradition by also going against genre standards while also adhering to them. At startup, viewers are taken to a static menu screen with the usual options and music playing in the background. Evil Dead managed to rake in a tidy profit for Sony Pictures, with the trailers and the word-of-mouth on the film showcasing it as one of the hardest R-rated mainstream horror efforts in quite some time, relying almost exclusively on practical make-up and special effects.

From Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez, making his big-screen American debut, the film comes with a clever plot that feels fresh and new, but doesn't shy away from being seen as a reimagining/reboot/continuation of the beloved original while also drenching the whole affair with buckets of gory, blood-spattered gruesomeness. In conclusion, "Evil Dead (2013) - Collector's Edition [4K UHD] [Blu-ray]" is a spine-chilling masterpiece that revitalizes the horror genre. The new 4K image does add some HDR and with a movie this dark, it does “show” for lack of a better term. There was some confusion over the description - it was a box set of 8 x 7" singles, but the description also said "No of disks: 1". Granted, a twisted and perverse sense of humor would be the required precondition for enjoying this brutally bloody version as an animated carnival ride, but in this day and age, when remakes are a never-ending trend and quickly dismissed for being such, it's a genuine treat to have at least one memorable standout worthy of the original.

blockbuster improvements, but the smaller improvements do add up to a fairly impressive overall texture gain for the film. Colors appear subdued and restrained, adding to the story's gloomy atmosphere, but primaries remain accurate and cleanly rendered, especially the deep, rich reds of blood. Directed by Fede Alvarez, who was discovered after he released a short on the internet, there’s certainly some homage to the original. He graduated from Regis College in 2019 with a Bachelor's in Communication and minored in both Film Studies and Writing. Equal parts remake, reboot, and sequel, this terrifying entry in the cult film franchise follows a group of friends to a secluded wooded cabin.

After a couple skippable trailers, viewers are taken to a main menu screen with full-motion clips and music playing in the background. Some of the scenes lit by lanterns have an almost unnatural glow to them, but this appears to be the intent of the filmmakers and not a flaw of the presentation itself. Courtesy of Scream Factory, evil rips the soul out of Ultra HD with a satisfying 4K Dolby Vision video and features the same reference-quality lossless track and supplements as the previous Blu-ray release. It has its own identity, offering nods to the past for those paying attention, but without ever sacrificing itself to do so. The 4K enhancement elevates the horror, immersing viewers in every gory detail and bone-chilling moment.
