A 4K restoration of Sam Raimi's sequel is coming in March!
Sam Raimi's 1987 sequel to his 1981 low budget horror hit amped up the insanity, making Bruce Campbell's hapless hero Ash one of the most iconic horror movie protagonists in the process.
Evil Dead 2 has undergone a 4K restoration and on March 4th Studiocanal will release Raimi's film for the first time on 4K Ultra HD, along with blu-ray and DVD releases. Pre-order here.
Special features include a feature commentary from Raimi, Campbell, writer Scott Spiegel and FX artist Greg Nicotero; hour-long tribute doc Bloody and Groovy, Baby!; Two 'Making Of' featurettes; locations featurette; trailer; and an interview with Campbell.
Check out the new restoration trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
After the shocking and notorious cult classic THE EVIL DEAD impaled its way into the minds of a whole generation, visionary maverick director Sam Raimi decided to elaborate on its twisted scenario. Featuring B-movie legend Bruce Campbell in his most iconic role, EVIL DEAD 2 is a gore-fueled, splatstick masterpiece that gleefully stomps on the entrails of good taste whilst puking in the face of Hollywood with no apologies.
