Evil Dead (2013) was directed by Fede Alvarez and released on March 8, 2013 with a budget of $17 million. It starred Bruce Campbell, Robert Tapert, and Sam Raimi as producers. The opening sequence uses dark colors and ominous music to set a foreboding tone for the thriller. Quick cuts between extreme close-ups of blood and flashing images build tension and confusion without revealing details, piquing the audience's interest. Intensifying sounds and the introduction of fire hints at the rage and darkness to come.
