Hail to the king, baby

A documentary about the fans (aka Deadites) of the Evil Dead films. Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987), both etched on my memory, are my favourite horror movies as well. Bruce Campbell is an iconic figure who has done so much amazing off-beat cinema (Bubba Ho-Tep, Xena, My Name Is Bruce, Brisco County Jr., The Hudsucker Proxy) outside the franchise as well. He even wrote one hell of a memoir - If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie actor. Hail to the Deadites celebrates the movie's faithful and kinda coofy fanbase. Love the amateur homegrown feel in it, just like the original movies.
