'Evil Dead' sneak previews only at Ayala Malls Cinemas Apr 22-23

MANILA, Philippines - Billed as “The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience,” Columbia Pictures' horror thriller “Evil Dead” will hold special sneak previews on Monday and Tuesday, April 22 & 23, exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas (ahead of its May 8 regular opening).

Moviegoers can catch the sneaks at Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3, Trinoma, Alabang Town Center, Market! Market!, Ayala Center Cebu, Marquee (Central Luzon), Abreeza (Davao), Harbor Point (Subic) and Centrio (Cagayan de Oro).

Rated R-18 Without Cuts by the MTRCB, “Evil Dead” is a bone-chilling film that combines all the raw excitement and gleeful gore of the acclaimed, 1981 original with a series of shocking new twists.

In the film, Mia (Jane Levy), a young woman whose life has been marred by loss and addiction, asks her brother David (Shiloh Fernandez), his girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) and their childhood friends Olivia (Jessica Lucas) and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) to join her at the family’s rustic cabin to help her overcome her demons. Once there, she ceremoniously destroys the last of her stash and swears off drugs for good in front of her friends.

Inside, they are shocked to discover that the abandoned cabin has been broken into. The cellar has been transformed into a grotesque altar surrounded by dozens of mummified animals. Eric becomes fascinated with an ancient book he discovers there. In thrall to its mysterious contents, he reads aloud from it, never suspecting the terrifying consequences he is about to unleash.

As Mia’s withdrawals worsen, she begins to unravel and attempts to flee, but is turned back by a frightening vision. At the cabin, her behavior becomes so violent that her friends are forced to restrain her. Trapped by a dangerous storm raging outside, they begin to turn on each other one by one. As the brutality of their attacks increases, David is faced with an unimaginable choice.
