Evil Dead
When a grieving family retreats to a remote cabin to help a heroin‑addicted half‑sister confront her demons, they discover the cellar houses an ancient Welsh witch whose incantations unleash a demonic possession that forces them to battle supernatural horror before it consumes them all.
“The most terrifying film you will ever experience.”
Synopsis
Mia, a drug addict, is determined to quit her habit and asks her brother David, his girlfriend Natalie, and their friends Olivia and Eric to join her at their family's remote forest cabin to help her through withdrawal. During their stay, Eric discovers a mysterious Book of the Dead and reads from it, inadvertently awakening an ancient demon. Chaos ensues when the malevolent entity possesses Mia.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 28
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office
2013 · Box office
💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
Worldwide gross
$99.0M
US & Canada: $54.2M — 55% of worldwide · International: $44.8M (45%)
