“Necronomicon Ex Mortis: Don’t Say It. Don’t Write It. Don’t Hear It. Don’t Share It.”
So says the Facebook page for Evil Dead along with these images of the Necronomicon itself.
Directed by Fede Alvarez, the film focuses on five twenty-something friends who become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead. An archaeologist’s tape recording reveals that the ancient text was discovered among the Khandarian ruins of a Sumerian civilization. Playing the taped incantations, the youths 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.
Starring Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas and Elizabeth Blackmore, Evil Dead hits theaters on April 12, 2013.
