Saga Evil Dead

The famous horror saga 'Evil Dead' began in 1981 with 'The Evil Dead', directed by Sam Raimi and starred by Bruce Campbell, playing the role of Ashley J. 'Ash' Williams for the first time. Ash would became one of the most legendary heroes of horror cinema. Two sequels of this movie opened in 1987 and 1992: 'Evil Dead II' and 'Army of Darkness'. The three of them had Sam Raimi as director and Bruce Campbell as star. In 2013 the franchise was resurrected with the remake of the first film, 'The Evil Dead', without Raimi or Campbell. Fede Alvarez was chosen to direct the film. As the saga was getting more noticed, the films' openings where getting bigger in scope and in box office. That's why the remake is the highest grossing film of the franchise, but with less than 100 million dollars worldwide. This saga is still a product for fans only. In 2015 a series based on the franchise will start at Starz, titled 'Ash vs. Evil Dead'. Bruce Campbell will come back in the series as the main character.
