Good but not great

Rating: 7/10 (6 February 2013)

I have to admit that I saw evil dead 2&3 before this one, mostly because they looked more appealing. But I finally sat down and watched "The Evil Dead", but to be honest It was a little let down by the film. I was cool to see a young B.C but instead of being a bad ass like he was in the sequels, he reduced to a helpless pussy, who seems more at home with Ichabod crane from the Disney version of"Sleepy Hollow". I know that this was the first film in the series but I was just not expecting this. I think that when you compare it to the sequels, its the black sheep of the series, but if you accept it as it own movie, it a good popcorn - horror film that enjoyable enough for a viewing. Not great but not too bad, it's somewhere in the middle for me.
