Evil Dead Trilogy (1981-Evil Dead/ 1987-Evil Dead 2/ 1992-Army of Darkness, Sam Raimi)
Evil Dead is a B-movie trilogy, directed by Sam Raimi, and revolves around the Necronomicon Ex Mortis (the book of the dead). My film has drawn inspiration from this as it contains demons (though mostly unseen), possession and a protagonist who gets caught up in facing the demons and going through a journey of both survival and redemption.
The backdrop for the film is the old cabin in the woods location, typical of many horrors. The mise en scene helps develop the eerie setting through fog and a dark forest. Also, cinematography and editing play a significant role in representing the demons. Whenever a demon is chasing Ash through the woods, the camera floats off the ground and glides quickly towards him as an inhuman sound plays. It will cut between the demon chasing Ash and a tracking shot of Ash running.
