Movie News - Evil Dead Teaser Terrifies

-

Sweet mother hubbard, I think I just pee'd a little. After months of speculating whether the remake of Evil Dead would be any good a teaser pops up and scares the poop out of us here at Geek HQ. 

After recent disappointments in the field of horror films it appears as though Evil Dead have got it right.

This remake of the 1981 cult classic is produced by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Robert G. Tapert - reuniting the filmmakers of the original Evil Dead series. Written by Sam Raimi and Fede Alvarez. The film stars Jane Levy (Suburgatory), Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas and Australian actress Elizabeth Blackmore.

Check out the official Australian teaser after the jump!

Synopsis: Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead and 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.

Cast: Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, Elizabeth Blackmore

Director: Fede Alvarez

Writers: Sam Raimi, Fede Alvarez

Producers: Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Robert G. Tapert (now THAT'S pedigree!)

Release date: May 2, 2013

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island.
