invisibleunicornninja Anyone who says this movie is good either hasn't actually seen the movie, is lying, or is on some serious drugs. This movie has no characters or plot. Its just a random collection of scenes with no coherency. The visuals also suck, which I wouldn't care about if it had a plot. This movie is listed as a horror, but its not scary in the slightest. The only reason I watched this movie is because my dad forced me to watch it all the way through as a punishment. This movie is so bad. Don't watch it.
strike-1995 A landmark of modern horror and a great indicator of where passion and hard work will take you.
gabegiddens The Evil Dead is a fantastic movie, not flawless, but great. Bruce Campbell is without a doubt the best character in the film. The practical effects are clearly fake by today's standards but aren't any less impressive. The movie is scary in an unsettling type of way. This is an amazing movie especially when considering it's impressively low budget. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes horror movies or great films in general.
Tweetienator Naturally, I should wait till I write my review number 666, but it would take too long ;)Sam Raimi's Evil Dead and Evil Dead II belong like Romero's Dawn of the Dead to the great (forbidden fruits, I was too young to watch those pieces officially but I did it anyway - I dare to say that my bad VHS copy of a VHS copy of a copy made the movie even more "devilish" and precious to me) pleasures of my young life then, and still, from time to time, I rewatch these masterpieces of entertaining horrors. The Evil Dead movies combine demonic horror, splatter, gore and elements of comedy with great skill and I guess every director who ever made a horror-comedy movie after did watch those two movies. For me, the first one of the trilogy of the deadnites is the best one.Bruce Campbell played the role of his life in those movies and with the new show Ash vs. Evil Dead, he is on top as a B-movie actor again.
