The Evil Dead… what can you say about a classic?

Here we have the movie that started it all. Made on a $50, 000 budget, The Evil Dead doesn’t rely on special effects and CGI to scare its audience. Sam Raimi’s makes the best of the budget and achieves his goal – to scare the living daylights out of his eager audience.

What you see is what you get with this movie. I’m sure I don’t have to mention that Bruce Campbell as Ash may be one of the best performances in any zombie movie ever made.

There is plenty of disturbing gore and that’s what makes it the horror classic it is. And it is a classic. Legendary. I compel anyone who disagrees to find one gore-hound that hasn’t heard of the ‘tree rape’ scene.

Quick Review: Don’t think too much into this one, folks. The Evil Dead wasn’t made to make you think, it was made to make you scream and it accomplishes its task at every turn. Long live Ash! The zombie hero slasher flicks deserve.
