Like the sadistic demons that infest it, The Evil Dead has proved extremely difficult to kill. It’s been almost 40 years since Sam Raimi scraped together a tiny budget and travelled to a cabin in the woods with a few reels of 16mm film, buckets of fake blood and Bruce Campbell. Over the decades, the series has entered the horror pantheon and spawned two sequels, a remake, video games, comics and an awesome TV show. The story isn’t over yet, either, with the long-awaited fourth movie now in pre-production under the title Evil Dead Rise.
Much of The Evil Dead‘s ongoing success can be put down to its passionate fanbase and DiggerFilms’ new documentary Hail to the Deadites pays tribute to them. The trailer for it up above showcases this community and the various ways they revere and honor the series. We’re going to get interviews with...

"There's not a day goes by that I don't think about it." DiggerFilms has debuted an official trailer for the documentary film Hail to the Deadites, another doc film about (horror) movie fans and their love for a particular franchise. From filmmaker Steve Villeneuve, Hail to the Deadites is a documentary about the fans of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films and explores the classic franchise's undying and ever-growing popularity. Beside meeting with fans around the world, the 80 minutes documentary feature interviews with Evil Dead franchise cast members such as Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DeManincor, Tom Sullivan, Dan Hicks, Kassie Wesley DePaiva, Sarah Berry, Rick Domeier & Bill Moseley. Evil Dead first opened in 1981, followed by the sequel / remake Evil Dead II in 1987, finishing the trilogy with Army of Darkness in 1992. All three are official cult classics in their own way, and they still rule.

Horror fans are hardcore. You know that, I know that, but no-one seems to know that quite as much as Steve Villeneuve and the makers of Hail to the Deadites; arguably the most all-encompassing look at the Evil Dead fandom to date. Pulled together by a mixture of classic talking heads and a series of charmingly earnest mini case studies of the most devoted fans around, it’s a lovingly made, incredibly grounded little love letter to a genre and franchise that’s done so much with so little.
Fairly freeform in its structure, drifting from convention to convention with its main crew and director Villeneuve often on-camera as its guiding force, Deadites bills itself as very much a documentary by fans, for fans. And as such it drifts past a great deal of the context of the films themselves, assuming at least a working knowledge of Sam Raimi’s...

The brilliant, innovative camerawork. The spectacular effects work. The lashings of gore. The chainsaw. The chin. It's easy to see why the Evil Dead films were such a hit - indeed, why people enjoy them to this day. For some, however, this enjoyment goes beyond simply watching them again from time to time, and becomes a way of life. Welcome to the world of the Deadites.
Visiting Evil Dead conventions, interviewing some of the stars of the films and meeting dedicated fans, Steve Villeneuve's documentary gives us a glimpse into what Ashy Slashy actually let loose upon the world when he opened that legendary book. It has a lot going on emotionally for a documentary - romance, tragedy and the pursuit of long-cherished dreams, not to mention the story of Bruce Campbell meeting his doppelgänger - but it's the way Villeneuve weaves these things together that really matters, creating.

In my previous Fantasia review for Clapboard Jungle, I discussed how I’m pretty much an easy mark for any and all genre-related documentaries. After seeing Hail to the Deadites though, I feel like I need to amend that statement a bit as I’ve come to realize that, while I adore documentaries as a whole, fan documentaries aren’t exactly my cup of tea. I was hoping that Hail to the Deadites might turn me around when it comes to my feelings on fan docs as a whole, but rather, it ended up just leaving me feeling a bit blasé about the whole thing in the end.

“The primary goal of Under The Scares [in which—full disclosure—this writer appeared] was to help young filmmakers make good movies without throwing their money away,” says director Steve Villeneuve. The follow-up, he explains, “will focus on the future of independent horror. In this film, I want to show how the evolution of technology has impacted the viewing experience of independent cinema, and the ability of these filmmakers to monetize their product since the 1970s.”
Already announced as part of Independent Scares are such genre veterans as Glass Eye Pix topper Larry Fessenden (pictured above), The Blair Witch Project and Lovely Molly’s Eduardo Sanchez, longtime producer/director Fred Olen Ray, Andrew van den Houten of Headspace, The Woman and others and Independent-International honcho Sam Sherman (pictured right).
