The Evil Dead
Director: Sam Raimi Run Time: 85 min. Format: 35mm Film Release Year: 1981

35mm Screening!
As a dry-run for the more comedically tuned Evil Dead II, this masterpiece of modern horror still features Bruce Campbell as the wise-cracking Ash but the movie leans more into frightening gore and unnerving situations than the sequel causing it to be Rated X upon first release.
Double feature with DONNIE DARKO
Please note: This screening is part of a traditional Double Feature (two movies played back-to-back). If you’re looking for the “Ultimate Double Feature” (a movie within another movie) of this title, you can find tickets and info here!
