'Evil Dead' Gets R Rating, Cut Down From NC-17

The Evil Dead remake initially received an NC-17 rating by the MPAA, but was then cut down to an R.  At least it is an R and not a lousy PG-13.

@woozytribe Was proud of scoring a NC17 when submitted! But we had to cut stuff out to get an R and get the film into theaters.

Furthermore...

The R rated will have ALL the stuff you are seeingin the trailers. Trust me, You haven't seen a harder R rated film than ours...
