"Evil Dead" 2nd Official Image

Columbia Pictures has just unveiled the second official photo from “Evil Dead,” the much anticipated remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult-hit horror film “The Evil Dead.”

 The image features lead star Jane Levy with an utterly terrified facial expression, in keeping with the tone of the teaser trailer which was launched to wild reactions a few weeks ago. In the new movie directed by Fede Alvarez, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead and 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.

A core cast of young, fresh talent includes Jane Levy (“Suburgatory”) as Mia; Shiloh Fernandez (“Deadgirl,” “Red Riding Hood”) as David; Lou Taylor Pucci (“Carriers”) as Eric; Jessica Lucas (“Cloverfield”) as Olivia and Elizabeth Blackmore (“Legend of the Seeker”) as Natalie.

“Evil Dead” will be released in the Philippines in May 2013 by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
