I'm reviving this thread from the horror board. I suppose the main ingredients are the isolated setting (usually a cabin), and surviving the horde of undead or possessed people.

Night of the Demons (1988) https://trashepics.com/forum/724/
Things (1989) https://trashepics.com/forum/17/
Demon Wind (1990) https://trashepics.com/forum/2225/
Dead Snow (2009) https://trashepics.com/forum/1414/
Wither (2012) https://trashepics.com/forum/1322/

Less Blatant rip-offs, though heavily inspired by it:

Cabin Fever (2003) https://trashepics.com/forum/966/
Evil Dead Inbred Rednecks (2012) https://trashepics.com/forum/519/
Zombeavers (2014) https://trashepics.com/forum/1490/
Deathgasm (2015) https://trashepics.com/forum/1611/


While I've never seen it, I hear that evil dead itself was a rip-off of Equinox (1970) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067055/ , featuring a forest, monsters, and the necronomicon.

Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo (1996) - Evil Dead II in snow.

At least an Evil Dead II poster appears on the wall of the cabin, so they basically admit to it.

"I hear Evil Dead itself was a rip-off of Equinox (1970), featuring a forest, monsters, and the necronomicon."

I always thought it was pretty obvious it was a variant of Night Of The Living Dead, and all of these in turn are basically horror versions of siege-based Westerns. Never seen or heard of Equinox though.

I think Tremors (1990) has some elements of these too.

I think they just both had the same influences. Lovecraft, and people out in the wilderness in some isolated location being a common horror movie plotline.

Raimi said he never saw Equinox before making Evil Dead I think, and I tend to believe him. An old, micro budget movie like that would have been hard to find back in the late 70s.

Is The Evil Dead that Lovecraftian? I'm no expert but I'd never particularly though that.

Nope, not really. Other than the Necronomicon, and its sense of a sort of grand, inhuman, imcomprehensible malevolence. Generally a good bit too graphic and straightforward.

What ur Evil Dead, what happened to Fuad Ramses? If you have changed preference I will claim that title. HGL flicks is million times better than Evil Dead.
