Five young people go off to a cabin in the woods. In many ways, this early feature by Raimi reminds me of George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (the 1968 version) and Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste" as they, too, were early films of these directors and earned a fortune.catapulting these men to A-level films.
However, it's a historically important one, as it gave director Sam Raimi and actor Bruce Campbell their big break.and is a great example of a super-cheap film that earned back a fortune for the filmmakers. "The Evil Dead" is not at all the sort of film I normally watch. Reviewed by MartinHafer 7 / 10 This film probably used more blood than all the "Living Dead" movies put together!! As if it really matters, other cast members are: Betsy Baker, Hal Delrich, Ellen Sandweiss and Theresa Tilly. THE EVIL DEAD more than deserves its youth restricted rating. But still, Raimi as writer and director has stumbled upon something here. It is a product of bad acting by actors with little or no experience. And there is the scene where one of the girls is beckoned into the woods only to be attacked and raped by a.tree?! Cheap special effects galore decorate this vacation to a little north of Hell. When the flesh-eating demons start their attack, the blood doesn't just ooze it splatters, gushes and flows by the bucketful. It takes courage, a shotgun and a chainsaw. Ash, who at heart is a cowardly pansy, turns out to be the macho, macho man to the rescue. When the dead come out to play, the newest victims turn into horrid ghouls. The group stumbles upon a book and a tape recorder belonging to the previous inhabitants, warning of evil spirits lurking in the woods. Two guys.three girls journey to a remote cabin, of course in the middle of the woods. Campbell plays Ash Williams, one of five college friends set out to have a wild weekend in the woods. Reviewed by michaelRokeefe 8 / 10 A true horror classic.ĭirector Sam Raimi and good friend Bruce Campbell set out to make a real scary movie.although filmed on 16mm, THE EVIL DEAD is good enough to be your next nightmare and a hell of a lot better than your run of the mill slice and dice.
