Evil Dead Remake: 15 Talking Points In The New Red Band Trailer

12. The Pencil

I don€™t know about you, but the pencil ankle gouging scene in the first Evil Dead film, at the time of first watching, was one of the goriest, most difficult to watch special effect I€™d ever seen. It really set the bar for me. If you don€™t remember or haven€™t seen it, check it out below, but be warned; it€™s f***ing disgusting: http://youtu.be/y3bhYH58PzA Evil Dead is about demonic possession; in that original, you might remember in the original one of Ash€™s party becomes increasingly obsessive toward making notes from the Necronomicon (more on that later). Which then eventually leads to the above filth. Returning fans will no doubt have noticed the trailers early emphasis on this furious note taking party member - on quick, close up shots of the pencil - and remembered back to the above scene with teeth-grinding reluctance. Again, Raimi€™s heavily involved here; the man knew exactly what he was doing in the originals, he knows exactly what he€™s doing now. Expect the pencil in the new trailer to feature more heavily in the final movie, most likely as a murder weapon. Ouch!
