this is a classic Bruce Campbell is King you got to love the man

Consist of 2 disc ( 4k UHD Disc and Blu-ray Disc) and Digital Copy. Real Native 4k and also Dolby Vision compatible. Aspect ratio is 1.33:1 not 16x9 widescreen.

This is the best you’ll ever see this film! For that reason it is truly essential to any evil Dead fan. But be aware this is release is fairly bare bones. There are basically 0 special features. So don’t sell your old copy!

This is a great movie that really started up the zombie genre and gave it notoriety in it's genere and for future movies to come

This movie is what paved a way for horror movies like Friday the 13th and nightmare on elm st. This is what you NEED for Halloween.

I continue to marvel at the fact that low-budget movies made so long ago can look this good on UHD, but this is another case of just that!

First of all, let me just say top shelf independent horror film from the late 70’s (yes, released in 1983 theatrically, but shooting started in 1979 on and off for the next year or two). And let me say that what has been done here presentation-wise with a very respectable looking 4K HDR scan of a quote aged 16mm negative is amazing. But that’s just it. I have more copies of this film on more formats than I can count. I initially saw it on the original Thorn EMI VHS taken from a well-worn 35mm blow-up print and it was truly scary. The 3-disc LaserDisc box set from Elite Entertainment had the same feel (and was it’s last and best presentation on any analog video source). Then came the numerous DVD and Blu-Ray editions, each time with the film looking more and more pristine, but also opting to matte what was shot as a full-frame film off for modern 1.78:1 sets and the numerous additions and removals of a dubious optical effect. For me, it has lost a lot of the scare factor and played way too heavily on the humorous aspects that would be turned up to 11 in the quasi-remake “Evil Dead II” (which I did see on first theatrical run and due to its bigger budget has had a pretty consistent look and feel on all home video formats), as it has lost a lot of its technical issues (insufficient lighting in some scenes, the grubby look of the 16mm blow-up prints that had already made midnight movie rounds). Don’t let me warn you off from it — it’s still a very influential film in the genre and is essential viewing. But just prepare to be shocked that a film released nearly 40 years ago looks more like one released within the past decade. Whether that affects your suspension of disbelief will be an individual matter.

I don’t upgrade many films in my collection to 4K but this is a must own. Quality is perfect and evil dead has never looked this good.

Excellent restoration! Clearest most vibrant color I’ve ever seen! VHS, DVD, BLU-RAY and now finally 4K! Best sound to date also!

For a movie shot in 16 millimeter film, this looks amazing in 4K. Transferred in its original 1.33:1 aspect ratio as it was shot.

Probably the definitive edition of this classic. A great remaster/transfer and a welcome addition to any collection.

One of the best horror films ever made, especially for the budget. Just buy it and love it. Bruce Campbell!!!!!

Great creepy movie that stars Bruce Campbell. It is a classic and me and my friends watch it together multiple times

I'm a big fan of Bruce Campbell/Evil Dead and I wanted to get this in 4K so it could look it's best.

This has always been one of my favorites and has tons of releases. This is the best looking to date.

The Evil Dead, called "The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Terror" by it's filmmakers always felt like a bit of a tongue-in-cheek tagline, but it's never been truer than now. I've owned several versions of this movie over the years from VHS to DVD to BluRay - but now it comes to life like never before and truly seems to capture the "experience" the filmmakers were going for after years of struggling with time, location and the budget running out, before getting a few more bucks, shooting a few more scenes, some even in the directors garage - before this classic was completed and ready for the big screen - where it surely never looked as good as now - a super clean and crisp transfer of what was basically a glorified 8mm home horror movie, but it set a precedence for years to come on how to do horror with the mind set that the audience can have as much fun laughing as being scared - and this movie gives you both emotions from a source that has never looked/sounded/felt better before! Treat yourself and enjoy!

Probably one of my top five favorite horror movies and horror film franchises ever directed by Sam Rami who brought us timeless classics like the original Spiderman trilogy , Darkman , Drag Me To Hell , and the American versions of The Grudge and Grudge 2..! This 4K Ultra Blu-Ray is a must own for horror film fans and cult movie buffs everywhere..! The transfer is really good although Lions Gate didn't try and make a widescreen format format like Anchor Bay did with their versions on DVD and Blu-Ray , this version has the original pan-scan format that the director filmed the movie in and the sound and transfer is amazing as well as the sound and I highly recommended it for the true horror film movie collector ..!

The 4k remaster is not leaps and bounds above the standard bluray, but its probably the best it's ever going to look. Definitely worth having. Timeless classic!

The movie that started it all! Really enjoyed it, but disagree with anyone who says it’s funny.

This classic looks the best it’s ever looked on 4K! Love the mix with horror and comedy.
