That headline is a bit redundant, isn’t it? Obviously the upcoming reboot/remake/pseudo-sequel of the Evil Dead series should share many plot points with the 1981 original. Otherwise it wouldn’t really be a reboot/remake/whatever, right? Yes, we certainly agree with you, but in lieu of of any actual novel information on the upcoming Evil Dead film, fans are forced to bear with Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, et alia while they attempt to put together a film that is equally popular among the legions of hypothetical new Evil Dead fans and those who have loved the horror/comedy series for over three decades.
Thus, a synopsis, courtesy Bloody Disgusting and whichever PR person is in charge of homogenizing these sorts of things for public consumption:
In the much anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they 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.
So, yeah, it’s basically The Evil Dead. For that matter, it’s also The Evil Dead II, but if we could avoid a prolonged discussion of the bizarre, complex, remake-pocked history of the Evil Dead franchise, we might just be able to finish this article before the heat death of the universe.
