Premise
The controversial, indie horror cult classic that put Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell on the map.
Who should watch
Horror fans.
Thoughts
Before there was 'Blair Witch Project', there was 'Evil Dead'. This was made for allegedly $375,00.
Granted I gave it extra kudos for its budget, but it was squirmy, scary and entertaining. I enjoyed every creative trick, including clay-mation and well-done makeup.
The first half was effective at just spooking the audience. Then the gore kicked in. It was just spectacular. I had not see so much bloody since that elevator scene in 'The Shining'.
Last but not least, watch out for evil trees that rape young women. I wonder if tentacle hentai got their ideas from this...
What I would change
Nothing.
