The Evil Dead (1981) is a cult-classic supernatural horror film directed by Sam Raimi in his feature debut. The film follows a group of five college friends who travel to a remote cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway. Among them is Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), who quickly becomes the reluctant hero of the nightmare that unfolds.
While exploring the basement, they discover the Necronomicon (Book of the Dead) and a reel-to-reel tape recorder. When they play the tape, it recites ancient incantations that unleash a powerful evil force in the forest. One by one, the group is possessed by malevolent demons, turning into grotesque "Deadites" and attacking the others. With no escape and mounting terror, Ash must fight to survive the night, as he’s forced to confront unthinkable horrors.
Known for its intense atmosphere, innovative low-budget effects, and over-the-top gore, The Evil Dead became a landmark of independent horror and launched a franchise that includes sequels, TV series, and reboots. Bruce Campbell’s performance as Ash became iconic in horror cinema.
Main Cast:
Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams
Ellen Sandweiss as Cheryl
Richard DeManincor (Hal Delrich) as Scott

00:15:57Come on, let's take this stuff upstairs.
00:16:02I'll grab the recorder, and you get everything else down.
00:16:19This guy was a real turd.
00:16:21You know, everybody hated him.
00:16:22Like you, kind of.
00:16:24Yeah, just like me. I'm going to break your face.
00:16:27He's into, also, he's into this Western stuff.
00:16:30He makes all these little bottles.
00:16:31Okay, shh.
00:16:33Listen to this.
00:16:36This is the tape I found downstairs.
00:16:40It has been a number of years since I began excavating the ruins of Kandar with a group of my colleagues.
00:16:47Now my wife and I have retreated to a small cabin in the solitude of these mountains.
00:16:52Here I continued my research undisturbed by the myriad distractions of modern civilization and far from the groves of Akademe.
00:17:02I believe I have made a significant find in the Kandarian runes, a volume of ancient Sumerian burial practices and funerary incantations.
00:17:12It is entitled, Naturan de Manto, roughly translated, Book of the Dead.
00:17:19The book is bound in human flesh and inked in human blood.
00:17:23It deals with demons, demon resurrection, and those forces which roam the forest and dock bowers of man's domain.
00:17:34The first few pages warn that these enduring creatures may lie dormant but are never truly dead.
00:17:42They may be recalled to active life through the incantations presented in this book.
00:17:46It is through recitation of these passages that the demons are given license to possess the living.
00:17:55Hey, what'd you do that for? It was just getting good.
00:17:57I just don't want to hear it anymore, that's all.
00:18:04Hey, come on, I just want to hear the rest of it.
00:18:09No big deal.
00:18:10Shut it off.
00:18:33Shut it off.
00:18:38Shut it off.
00:18:49Cheryl, where are you going?
00:18:51I can't believe this.
00:18:52Scott, you knew not to play that.
00:18:55I mean, come on, you knew it was upsetting you.
00:18:56You just don't know when you're taking something too far.
00:18:58Hey, don't give me that.
00:18:59You were playing it too.
00:19:01You could have shut it off.
00:19:02I mean, big deal.
00:19:04She's nuts.
00:19:06I mean, it's just a joke.
00:19:07Oh, come on.
00:19:09Jesus Christ.
00:19:10She acts like she's three years old or something.
00:19:27Listen.
00:19:28Why don't we stay up for a while and listen to the storm?
00:19:31All right.
00:19:32Yeah.
00:19:32Let me check on Cheryl first to make sure she's OK.
00:19:35Let me check on Cheryl first to make sure she's OK.
00:21:07Oh, sure.
00:21:11I was going to give it to you before we came up here,
00:21:13but things got so hectic.
00:21:16This is really the first chance we've had to be alone.
00:21:23Take a look.
00:21:27Oh, Ash.
00:21:29Beautiful.
00:21:31I really love it.
00:21:33I'll never take it off.
00:21:37I'll never take it off.
00:21:39I'll never take it off.
00:21:46I'll never take it.
00:21:47Now it's time to take it off.
00:22:02I wonder if the
00:22:06Oh, my God.
00:23:06Is anybody out there?
00:23:36Is anybody out there?
00:24:06I know someone's out there.
00:24:18I heard you.
00:24:24I heard you in the cellar.
00:24:26I heard you in the cellar.
00:24:35I heard you in the cellar.
00:24:44I heard you in the cellar.
00:24:53I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:02I heard you in the cellar.

00:25:23I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:26I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:35I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:38I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:47I heard you in the cellar.
00:25:50I heard you in the cellar.

00:26:32Uh...
00:26:34What the hell IF I went?
00:26:43Oh...

00:26:50Oh, my God.
00:27:20Oh, my God.
00:27:50Oh, my God.
00:28:20Oh, my God.
00:28:50Help!
00:29:08Help!
00:29:10What the hell happened to you?
00:29:35Cheryl, what's the matter with you?
00:29:36Did something in the woods do this to you?
00:29:38No, it was the woods themselves.
00:29:41They're alive, Ashley.
00:29:42The trees, they're alive.
00:29:44Ash, why don't I take her in the bathroom so she can lie down?
00:29:47I'm not lying down.
00:29:49I want to get out of here.
00:29:50I want to leave this place right now.
00:29:53Right now, Ashley.
00:29:54Wait a minute.
00:29:55I sure as hell am not leaving any place tonight.
00:29:57Cheryl?
00:29:57Cheryl?
00:29:58Look, Cheryl, there's nothing out there.
00:29:59Trees do not attack people.
00:30:01Ashley, will you drive me into town or not?
00:30:03What, right now?
00:30:05Yeah, look, sure, sure, I'll take you into town,
00:30:07but just listen to what you're saying.
00:30:09I don't care how it sounds.
00:30:11I want to get out of this place right now.
00:30:14Okay, you can stay somewhere in town tonight.
00:30:17I don't care.
00:30:17I don't care.
00:30:17I don't care.
00:30:18I don't care.
00:30:19I don't care.

00:30:30I don't care.
00:31:00Come on, come on, come on.
00:31:30Come on, come on.
00:32:00Come on, come on.
00:32:30Come on, come on.
00:32:40Do you see something?
00:32:45Where are you going?
00:32:47Ashley?
00:32:52Ashley?
00:32:53Ashley?
00:33:06Ashley?
00:33:07Ashley?
00:33:08Ashley?
00:33:12Ashley?
00:33:14Ashley?
00:33:16Ashley?
00:33:17Ashley?
00:33:18Ashley?
00:33:20Oh!
00:33:23Oh!
00:33:58Help!
00:34:04Help!
00:34:06Help!
00:34:08It's not going to let us go.
00:34:11It's not going to let us go.
00:34:13I told you!
00:34:15It's not going to let us go.
00:34:17Why would you listen to me?
00:34:20Help me.
00:34:22No!
00:34:24No!
00:34:26I know now that my wife has become host to a Kandarian demon.
00:34:38I fear that the only way to stop those possessed by the spirits of the book
00:34:42is through the act of bodily dismemberment.
00:34:45I leave now to avoid this horror, but for myself,
00:34:48I have seen the dark shadows moving in the woods,
00:34:52and I have no doubt that whatever I have resurrected through this book
00:34:55is sure to come calling for me.
00:35:00Okay, let me think.
00:35:02It's a seven.
00:35:03What suit?
00:35:05Diamonds.
00:35:06No, no, no, wait.
00:35:07Hearts.
00:35:08Oh, my God, seven of hearts.
00:35:09You're right.
00:35:10Hey, Ash, I guessed the card right.
00:35:13Yeah, truly amazing, Linda.
00:35:15I don't know, I don't know,
00:35:16but I think it's really some sort of extra sense or something,
00:35:18you know, like ESP.
00:35:19Okay, try this.
00:35:20Okay, um, it's a seven.
00:35:23I don't believe it.
00:35:24Jack of spades.
00:35:25Queen of spades.
00:35:30Four of hearts.
00:35:33Eight of spades.
00:35:36Two of spades.
00:35:38Jack of diamonds.
00:35:39Jack of clubs.
00:35:40Why have you disturbed our sleep?
00:35:46Awakened us from our ancient slumber?
00:35:50You will die!
00:35:52Like the others before you.
00:35:55One by one, we will take you.
00:35:58What happened to her?
00:36:23Did you see your eyes?
00:36:25Ash, I'm scared.
00:36:26What's wrong with her?
00:36:27What's wrong with her?
00:36:28What's wrong with her?
00:36:41How far?
00:36:44A modern slumber would take you through his...
00:36:45Oh, my God.
00:37:15Uh, uh...
00:37:20Sheriff, stop it!
00:37:45Yes!
00:37:46Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
00:37:48Oh, no!
00:37:49Ah!
00:38:15Now, will you see your foot?
00:38:25Okay?
00:38:32But it's gone.
00:38:37Friends, thank you so much,
00:38:42much kind of agreement humans.
00:38:45I don't know.
00:39:15Ash, I think you ought to get out of here.
00:39:22Yeah.
00:39:25Tell it a few more hours before morning.
00:39:27I don't think I can wait that long.
00:39:30You have to. We all have to.
00:39:34And then in the morning, we'll get in the car, and we'll take the bridge, and...
00:39:40Does she keep making those horrible noises?
00:39:46I don't know!
00:39:48What's up with her eyes?
00:39:52What's up with her eyes?
00:39:55For God's sake, what happened to her eyes?
00:39:59Everything's gonna be all right.
00:40:15Scottie, I think there's something out there.
00:40:38Go to bed and get some sleep, okay?
00:40:50I don't know.
00:43:50I don't know what I would have done if I had remained on those hot coals, burning my pretty flesh.
00:44:04You have pretty skin.
00:44:08Give it to us.
00:44:09Join us.
00:44:13Join us.
00:44:27Oh, my God.
00:44:33Oh, my God.
00:44:37Oh, my God.
00:44:41Oh, my God.
00:44:43No!
00:45:13No!
00:45:43No!
00:45:53Yeah!
00:46:13Oh, my God.
00:46:43Oh, my God.
00:47:13Oh, my God.
00:47:43Oh, my God.
00:47:45Ah!
00:48:11Scott?
00:48:15Yeah.
00:48:17But it's...
00:48:19What are we gonna do?
00:48:24We're gonna bury her.
00:48:27You can't bury Shelly.
00:48:29She's a friend of ours.
00:48:31Yeah, she's dead.
00:48:35Shelly's dead.
00:48:40We gotta bury her now.
00:48:45You.
00:48:51You.
00:48:54You.
00:49:02You.
00:49:07Let's go.
00:49:37Linda's still sleeping.
00:49:43I think what's her leg?
00:49:44I'm getting out of here.
00:49:46Scott, we can't take Linda anywhere with her leg like that.
00:49:48We don't even know if there is any other way back besides the bridge.
00:49:52Well, maybe there's a hiking trail or an old road or some other way around the cliff.
00:49:57I mean, there's got to be another way besides the bridge.
00:50:00Listen to me.
00:50:02Linda cannot walk with her leg like that.
00:50:04She can't even stand up.
00:50:05Well, then we'll leave her here.
00:50:08Until we can send somebody back.
00:50:09What, are you crazy?
00:50:11Look, I'm getting out.
00:50:14I don't care what happens to her.
00:50:16She's your girlfriend.
00:50:17You take care of her.
00:50:19I'm getting the hell out of here right now.
00:50:20All of you will be like me.
00:50:44And then I will lock you up in a shower.
00:50:47Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:51:48Oh, did you go?
00:51:50Oh, no.
00:51:56Oh, Scotty, you're gonna be okay.
00:52:01You're gonna be just fine.
00:52:02You'll see.
00:52:15Ash, it's not gonna let us leave.
00:52:19Cheryl.
00:52:20Cheryl was right.
00:52:23We're all gonna die here.
00:52:25No, we're not gonna die.
00:52:26We're all gonna die.
00:52:27All of us.
00:52:29No, we're not gonna die.
00:52:32We're not gonna die.
00:52:33We're gonna get out of here.
00:52:34Now, listen to me, Scotty.
00:52:36Is there a way around the bridge?
00:52:40Scotty, listen to me, please, for God's sake.
00:52:43Scott!
00:52:45Come on.
00:52:47Ash.
00:52:49Ash, I don't wanna die.
00:52:52You're not gonna leave me, are you, Ash?
00:52:54Are you?
00:52:54I don't wanna die.
00:52:56You're not gonna leave me here, are you?
00:52:58Are you, Ash?
00:53:03Scotty, now, come on.
00:53:05Listen to me.
00:53:05For God's sake.
00:53:07Is there a way around the bridge?
00:53:09There's a way.
00:53:11The trail.
00:53:12But the trees, Ash, ain't no.
00:53:19Don't you see, Ash?
