Even if it was, it doesn't much matter. The Evil Dead had enough original camera work, visual effects, black humor and sound editing that it is original anyway. Personally, I think they both exploit well worn horror cliches. I've seen Equinox and it may have been an inspiration, who knows?

Scarface was a remake of the Godfather. Goodfellas was a remake of Scarface. Heat was a remake of Goodfellas. Reservoir Dogs was a remake of Heat. See how stupid you are??

I read somewhere that Sam Raimi had never seen or heard of EQUINOX. Even if he had, all the two movies REALLY have in common is a book that raises demons and a taped incantation from that book that does the trick.
