Excellent work

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 1999)

Evil Dead is truly Sam Raimi's most superb work ever. This movie is filmed in 1982 which is quite old for our current generation, so the visual effects seem to be quite obsolete but the movie is never boring and never tedious. It's quite intriguing in performance and plot. I felt quite fresh about the early 80s style of classic gore and violence which aren't really too offensive and chaotic.
Overall value is much better and more realistic than our current stupid and exaggerated horror flicks aided by graphics. Unlike other two Evil Dead sequels, this first one has almost no humor. Instead, it has a lot of frightening and violent scenes.
One warning: Never show this movie to any kids.
