We have already brought you an Image Gallery depicting the set in a previous article, but now we have the full specs on this special 4-disc collection comprising THE EVIL DEAD, EVIL DEAD II, the Director's Cut of ARMY OF DARKNESS, plus the original 4x3 format presentation of THE EVIL DEAD. Each disc in the set comes complete with a host of special features, some exclusive to this release... Disc One - THE EVIL DEAD The gruesome granddaddy of modern day horror, Sam Raimi's original 1981 classic THE EVIL DEAD has been hailed by horror writer Stephen King as "the most ferociously original horror movie I have ever seen" and in the UK was one of the first horror films to be labelled as a "video nasty." Off for a weekend of fun in a remote cabin in the woods, five young friends unwittingly release a powerful force of unspeakable evil from the pages of the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead. Possession, murder and dismemberment follow in rapid succession as Ash (Bruce Campbell), the one uncorrupted member of the group, fights for survival against his former friends who have joined the legion of the evil dead. 1.85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen Disc Two - EVIL DEAD II DEAD BY DAWN The first sequel to Sam Raimi's horror masterpiece, EVIL DEAD II sees Ash (Bruce Campbell) continuing his battle with the evil dead, initially in the demon form of his girlfriend, Linda (Denise Bixler). Meanwhile, relatives and associates of the cabin's original owner are en route to the cabin with newly found pages from the Necronomicon. EVIL DEAD II manages to successfully marry outrageous comedy with nail-biting terror as Ash is forced to resort to progressively extreme measures in order to maintain his sanity and conquer the demonic forces threatening his life. Special features include audio commentary by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell, trailer and making-of featurette. Disc Three - ARMY OF DARKNESS Immediately following the events of Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness finds Ash (Bruce Campbell) transported to Medieval England, where the occupants of a local castle are under siege from the supernaturally evil Deadites. Hailed as the deliverer of the Necronomicon and the saviour of the living, he must employ his 20th Century wits and skills to overcome his evil self, before destroying his possessed medieval girlfriend and the entire Army of Darkness in a battle to save the living from the dead. Director's cut presented in 1.85:1
Anamorphic Widescreen Disc Four - THE EVIL DEAD The fourth disc in the boxed set presents the eponymous first film in THE EVIL DEAD trilogy in its original 4 x 3 format (1.33:1 Full Screen Unmatted) and includes several extras exclusive to this edition, making it a must-have for all Evil Dead fans and collectors.
