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)

Why is the script writer getting credit? She didn't write 50% of this script or 30% of an adaptation. And by all accounts she was brought to bring in current era youth lingo. 198.45.184.25 (talk) 01:51, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

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.

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)

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)

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. Please note that this would be posted in the plot section after the long form plot. Thanks.

Order of Deaths:


 * 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.

WP:TRIVIA. WP:TRIVIA. WP:TRIVIA. Also see WP:NOT and WP:OR. How hard is that to understand? Also neither of those are reliable sources. I seriously doubt anybody besides you watches movies just to see the order that people die in. and for a fact no one really cares to know about it.  STATic  message me!  23:59, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

We don't have "Order of Deaths" on Wikipedia. --Niemti (talk) 13:05, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Sheesh everyone, there's no need to be so harsh. Although trivia is actively discouraged on Wikipedia, this does prove to be some useful information regarding the plot, albeit with major spoilers added in for those who didn't see the movie. In other words, a simple "no" would've sufficed. — stay ( sic ) ! 11:23, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Actually this 'order of deaths' cleared up the plot points that I came here for, while the article didn't. The synopsis makes it seem that Natalie and Olivia die almost simultaneously, but their deaths are separated  by considerable screen time. There's an argument to be made that the series of attacks and deaths IS the plot. There's really little else to it. Incorporating the various attacks and deaths into the synopsis in proper chronology would be a vast improvement over what's there now. Bustter (talk) 11:05, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Plot copy-edit
I did a cleanup/copy-edit on the plot synopsis because the original put some scenes out of order and other significant moments were missing (most notably the tree rape, which was an iconic element of the original). Parts of the synopsis didn't make sense as written. As I was working, someone tagged it with a "too long/too detailed plot." The change is neither too long (only 50 words longer than it was) and no more detailed than most. All I did was flesh out what was missing/skimmed over to make what was there make more sense and copy-edit. Pac if ic Bo y  19:55, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * More like over 200 words more, the rule is it should not be over 700 and you increased it to over 900 words. The template covers the section in general not your change, but it really your change that made it go way over the 700 word limit, the reason for the template being added. Rearrange and copy edit it all you want, but it must remain under/really close to 700 words. See WP:FILMPLOT for more information on writing plot synopsis'.

Sidequel
With the revelation of Army of Darkness to it would seem this is in no way a Reboot. With the revelation that they are also wanting to make a movie that links Mia and Ash this seems to be a sidequel or a spin off existing in the same world or universe. 198.45.184.25 (talk) 06:36, 12 November 2013 (UTC) Further it seems clear this is not a loose continuation.198.45.184.25 (talk) 06:38, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Extended Cut Section
Currently, this section reads like two people having a back and forth argument. There has to be a better way to edit and condense the information into a paragraph. 75.104.163.77 (talk) 22:38, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
