Synopsis: The Evil Dead, director Sam Raimi's (Darkman, Quick & The Dead, Army Of Darkness) first feature film, is a true cult classic in every sense of the word.

Victor Crowley lives again on Blu-ray! This 2006 slasher film will be presented in an unrated director's cut, and features an all-new audio commentary with writer/director Adam Green and Victor Crowley himself – Kane Hodder.

Synopsis: When a group of New Orleans tourists take a cheesy haunted swamp tour, they slam face-first into the local legend of deformed madman Victor Crowley. What follows is a psycho spree of seat-jumping scares, eye-popping nudity, skull-splitting mayhem and beyond.

Joel David Moore ("Dodgeball"), Deon Richmond ("Scream 3") and Mercedes McNab ("Buffy The Vampire Slayer") star - along with horror icons Tony 'Candyman' Todd, Robert 'Freddy Krueger' Englund and Kane 'Jason' Hodder - in this screamingly funny carnage classic that Fangoria hails as "a no-hold-barred homage to the days when slasher films were at their reddest and wettest".
