- The Evil Dead was banned in numerous countries in Europe
Throughout the United Kingdom, the flick was actually subject to diverse censorship cuts and obscenity trials – the focus was especially on the brutal tree-rape scene. Word has it that the director, Sam Raimi, regretted filming and adding that scene later on. For example, in Germany the movie was banned all the way until 2001, when the first legal uncut version of the movie hit the German market.
