Deadly EVIL DEAD First Look Image

(EW.com)

In just hours, AMC will unveil the opener to season 3 of The Walking Dead. So to get you ready, check out this deadly first look at TriStar Pictures’ EVIL DEAD. The photo was released this weekend at the New York Comic-Con.

According to the official synopsis, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

The film is produced by Rob Tapert, Sam Raimi (writer and director of the 1981 film) and Bruce Campbell aka “Ash” of the original trilogy. I’m particularly partial to 1992’s ARMY OF DARKNESS with it’s classic lines, “Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?,” “This… is my boomstick!” and “Give me some sugar, baby.”

The anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film is from the director and writer of PANIC ATTACK! – Fede Alvarez & Rodo Sayagues Mendez. Here’s our preview of the sci-fi short back in 2009. Watch their film below and then tell us how excited you are for the new version of EVIL DEAD!

The EVIL DEAD cast includes Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, and Elizabeth Blackmore.

EVIL DEAD will be in theaters April 12, 2013.
