Evil Dead (2013)

The Mikeronomicon Ex Mortis....roughly translated....The Book of the Mikes.

Join Mike Butler and Mike Field as they venture down into the fruit cellar of an old cabin to bring you the final episode of the second annual Forgotten Horror; 2013's Evil Dead, directed by Fede Alvarez and starring Jane Levy.

The Mikes discuss how original The Evil Dead creator, Sam Raimi decided on newcomer Fede Alvarez to reboot this iconic horror franchise. They also talk about the lack of Bruce Campbell's Ash character and how that affects the film. Field and Butler will also bring up interesting facts about the film's production on a modest budget as well as try to figure out how a film that did incredibly well at the box office, seems to be now forgotten by both audiences and its creators.

So grab your sawed off cobalt blue steel shotgun and chainsaw arm, please notice the exits at the front and rear of the cabin are surrounded by evil trees, and settle down for Forgotten Horror

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
