Glory, Gory, Hallelujah! After Sam Raimi's controversial horror classic was acquitted of various confiscation orders in August, the Federal Inspection Office for Media Harmful to Young Persons (BPjM) has now also devoted itself to the indexing that has existed for 32 years and lifted it with immediate effect! Evil Dead can finally be publicly distributed and advertised again. However, the distributor still has to take one last step on the way to the home cinema premiere, because with the lifting of confiscation and indexing, the company now has the opportunity to submit the film to the FSK for a re-examination. The next steps are currently being prepared to "bring the classic in an unabridged version onto the market" and make it available online or in stationary stores. So it won't be long before you can officially bring Ash's first horror adventure home with you in a high-quality design!
Two sequels followed: Devil's Dance II (1987), Army of Darkness (1992) and the critically acclaimed remake Evil Dead (2013), again produced by Sam Rami and Bruce Campbell. The TV series "Ash vs. Evil Dead", which was created as a spin-off, has also been available in our latitudes since September 2016. Great news on this October 10th, 2016!
