[IronManLives]

Plot: A group of friends spend a weekend at a remote cabin, and one of them accidentally desecrates an Indian burial ground. This causes him to turn into a zombie, and kill off his friends. They must band together to try and survive being massacred.

Background (Please Read): Unfortunately the quality of this movie is far from perfect (especially at the beginning, although it has been restored as much as possible) but to my knowledge it's the ONLY version available, it's rare as hell and has NEVER been officially released! This short movie was made as a prequel to "The Evil Dead" and was shot with approximatively $1,600 of budget in a three day weekend in Michigan. It premiered in August 1979 at the Punch and Judy theatre in Detroit double-billed with the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

It began as a project to fund production of "The Evil Dead" but after the film only saw profits of $20 and Raimi hitting problems with music rights for the soundtrack they withdrew the production and donated their profits of $20 to the American Cancer Society
