THIS WEEKEND at NW Film Forum
Bruce Campbell in The original scare-the-crap-outta-America THE EVIL DEAD - May 27-28, Fri-Sat at 11pm
The Evil Dead (Sam Raimi, USA, 1981, 35mm, 85 min)
The ultimate experience in grueling horror! A budget-less horror movie made by Sam Raimi and his buddies (including, of course, Bruce Campbell), EVILDEAD scared the crap out of America and spawned a brand new era of horror films. When Bruce Campbell and company head out to the woods, an ancient evil lies in wait for them, ready to possess their bodies and deliver the most ghastly, gore-filled deaths imaginable. A masterpiece of d.i.y. special effects, ultra-creative bloodletting and fantastically athletic camerawork, this stylish cult classic is NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. Unrated upon its release for blood, violence, gore and astonishing bad taste.

THE GRAND ILLUSION in Seattle Presents:
FRIDAY & SATURDAY MAY 27 & 28 @11 pm
