The ultimate experience in gruelling terror.

Five friends take a trip to a remote cabin where they discover a dangerous relic that brings forth an ancient demonic force dedicated solely to torturing and destroying them. Sam Raimi’s horror classic brought the world the cabin in the woods movie, the modern horror comedy, and the force of nature that is Bruce Campbell, but what’s easy to forget about the film is that it’s one of the most successful independent films ever made. Raimi, Campbell, and the rest of the crew managed to will themselves long running careers in film making driving out to the middle of the woods in Tennesee and making a splatter film using every trick they could think of to make it bigger, bolder, and bleaker than anything made before. A testament to the spirit of independent film making and messing around with your friends, screened here at the open matte aspect ratio in which it was originally shown at its premiere.
