The much anticipated remake of "Evil Dead" received the notorious "NC-17" rating, according to director Fede Alvarez.

Alvarez said, "Was proud of scoring a NC-17 when submitted! But we had to cut stuff out to get an R and get the film into theaters."

Perhaps the NC-17 version will be made available when the film goes to disc release?

"Evil Dead" will be released on April 12.

Countdown to the release of Evil Dead, with the iPhone Movie Countdown Clock App.
