Ashley "Ash" Joanna Williams is a simple man who's life turned upside-down when he traveled to a cabin with his friends for a weekend getaway. They discovered something called the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, roughly translated "the book of the dead". Bound in human fIesh and inked in bIood, this ancient Sumerian text contained bizarre buriaI rites, funerary incantations and demon resurrection passages. It was never meant for the worId of the Iiving. The book awoke something dark in the woods when a voice recording read one of the incantations from it's horrid pages. It started with Ash's sister, Cheryl first. Then it took Shelly, then Linda, Then Scotty. It took all of his Ash's friends. They became possessed by evil spirits known as "Deadites". They're sort of like demons. They torture you physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. In order to gain control and power over you so that they can possess you too. They play mind games, laugh at you, and torment you in the worst ways possible. Ash was the sole survivor of this incident and now he just has to make it out of the hellhole of a cabin alive. He is armed with nothing but a double-barrelled shotgun and eventually a chainsaw mounted to the stump of his hand that he had to lop off at the wrist once it got possessed. His car, the Oldsmobile Delta '88 was somewhere in the woods as well. Maybe if a path opened up somewhere, he could possibly leave the area. Just maybe.
