The Evil Dead (1981)

Plot: Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons.

Review:

This was absolutely brilliant and exceeded all the hype I’ve heard about it. I enjoyed it even more than part 2 as it keeps the comedy dialed down. It’s an all around excellent horror film, probably one of the best I’ve seen. I sincerely hope Raimi makes another one just like this some time.

Sidenote: One could make the argument that the Evil Dead movies are really about a violent schizophrenic who takes people to the woods and dismembers them because he’s under the delusion that they are demons.

Rating: 8.0/10
