Source to use

Came across this source filled with info that could be used in the article for whoever is monitoring it: Darkwarriorblake (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Diablo Cody connection

Fede Alvarez has publicly stated that they used so little of Diablo Cody's "jargon" that the WGA jury ruled in favor of not even giving her a credit in the final film. Can we please stop referring to her in this article? Or at the very least remove the "Works of Diablo Cody" link at the bottom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.180.38.20 (talk) 14:52, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

-Agnes Bruckner and Thora Birch auditioned for the role of Natalie. -If you take the first letters of the main characters David, Eric, Mia, Olivia and Natalie, the letters spell out DEMON -In one scene there are cards spread out on the table. The cards are laid out in the order that Cheryl reads them in the original. -In the scene where the broken necklace is found outside of the cabin, it can be seen resting in the shape of a skull. -Mia can be seen wearing a Michigan State sweatshirt. In the original version, the main character also wears a Michigan State sweatshirt in the opening scene. This is also a homage to original director Sam Raimi, who is from Michigan. -Diablo Cody polished and "Americanized" the screenplay while remaining uncredited. ^[1]

IMDB is user generated and not a reliable source. Also see WP:TRIVIA. STATic message me! 06:03, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

The 'real people' reviews I have seen have been extraordinarily hostile, and the aggregators are saying 'mixed', but the reception section has far more space for the good ones. Lovingboth (talk) 20:39, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This bit in the reception section doesn't sound very encyclopedic in style or tone, and I don't see a source for it: "Though this a common misconception, as the original had no humor what so ever [sentence fragment]. The first film is often confused with the second film in the trilogy Evil Dead 2 [no commas around Evil Dead 2, which isn't italicized] which incorporated slapstick humor over gore." For the record, there WAS humor in the original film, both in terms of intentionally humorous dialogue and in terms of violence so over-the-top it becomes ludicrous (think of Evil Shelly's minute-long death scream when she gets stabbed in the back with the Khandarian dagger). And though the second film did have a lot more slapstick, what would it mean to incorporate "slapstick over gore"? The second film is probably even gorier than the first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.238.243.172 (talk) 05:19, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Order of Deaths

We all know that part of the joy of a horror film is knowing who died and in what order. In fact, in many cases, that information is the only reason to see the film or care about it. It is also important to weigh the content when selecting a horror film.

As the deaths are integral to many horror film plots, I have been attempting to include it here in the plot summary. One user in particular has taken umbrage, stating that the info is either trivial (I have argued that it is no more trivial than including an easter egg or sub-plot) and not needed (not needed - perhaps, desired - I think so. Regardless, Wikipedia seeks to include all information and it does not have any prohibition against either lists or trivia in its policy guides). In order to move past the impasse, I am asking anyone who uses these talk pages to weigh in. I have also cited several spoiler websites as citations in order to allay the concerns of the editor. See below for what I seek to post and weigh in accordingly. Thanks.

Order of Deaths:^[2] ^[3]

Teenage Girl - Possessed by the Deadite, her soul is purified when she is lit on fire by her father. The father then shoots her in the head with a shotgun.

Grandpa, the dog - The pooch is found beaten to death with a claw-hammer.

Olivia - Becomes possessed after Mia pukes blood down her throat. She manages to carve off part of her own face and attack Eric before Eric bashes her skull in with a toilet lid.

Natalie - She is assaulted by Mia and bit on the hand. Natalie cuts off her infected arm with an electric meat carver but succumbs to her massive trauma. She is possessed and attacks Eric and David. Eric kills her by bashing her head in with a crowbar.

Eric - He is stabbed with shards of a mirror, stabbed in the eye with a needle, shot with a nail gun and has some of his fingers chopped off. He is ultimately killed by Mia when stabbed in the stomach by a box cutter. He comes back as a possessed demon, and is killed when David blows up the cabin.

David - He is stabbed, injured by a shotgun blast, shot with a nail gun and almost drowned. The fatal blow comes when a possessed Eric stabs him in the neck with some nails. Before he dies, he shoots a gas can, blowing up himself and Eric along with the cabin.

Deadite/Eater of Souls/Evil Mia - The demon attacks Mia, slicing open Mia's kneecap and arm and even causing Mia to lose her hand (Mia's hand is pinned under a Jeep that the demon throws at her). The resourceful Mia survives these injuries and manages to cut off the Deadite's leg with a chainsaw. Mia then jams the chainsaw down the injured Deadite's throat and cuts it completely in half. The demon's body sinks back into the ground.
