IGN Hangouts Presents: Evil Dead

Hail to the King, baby! For years the cult phenomenon that is Evil Dead has slashed its way into every medium possible. We’ve seen Deadites hacked up in games, movies, comics and musicals (yes, Evil Dead has a musical). So when we heard they were remaking the original, fans were equal parts excited and worried.

Thankfully, the remake breathed new life into the franchise with a fantastic re-imagining of the series. IGN’s own Chris Tilly called it “every bit as good as Sam Raimi’s originals” and said it was “A terrifying, exhilarating and relentlessly entertaining new chapter in the Evil Dead story.” You can check out our video review below.

If you haven’t seen the movie yet (and seriously, why haven’t you?), it’s out on Blu-Ray tomorrow. In honor of the blood soaked reboot’s transition to the small screen, we’re hanging out with cast members Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas and director Fede Alvarez and asking them about the movie.

Evil Dead Racks Up NC-17 Rating

Not surprisingly, director Fede Alvarez revealed today that his Evil Dead remake earned an NC-17 from the MPAA. Of course, seeing as how it’s a studio project, the horror pic will eventually be watered down for the theatrical release.

The filmmaker tweeted, “Was proud of scoring a NC17 when submitted! But we had to cut stuff out to get an R and get the film into theaters.

Although Evil Dead will be making its silver screen debut with an R rating, expect news on the inevitable “Unrated Director’s Cut” Blu-ray/DVD shortly.
