Been watching it for 6 years and it still scares me

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2002)

I thought for a budget of $50,000, they did a damn good job of making a scary movie. The Evil Dead has become one of the most popular cult classics of all time, especially to horror fans. I remember how I accidentally came across this movie, I just had a gift certificate for Blockbuster Video and just bought this previewed, I thought at first it was kind of cheesy, but it did terrify me. I showed my friend this movie and we went on the internet and couldn't believe all the websites dedicated not only to this movie, but I found out there were two other sequels.
5 friends go on a camping trip and are just looking for the most part to just relax, party, and have a good time together. But there is something wrong when Ash's sister is hearing and seeing horrible and scary things in the cabin. She is loured out into the woods by a creepy voice and is raped by the spirits in the tree's, sorry, I don't know how else to say it. But when the guys decide to have a little fun and play a tape from the previous owner who studied spirits and demons, they raise The Evil Dead. One by one the friends are possessed and kill each other.
This is an incredibly disturbing and fun gory flick to watch. I couldn't believe it when I found out that this movie was made with a small budget. Who knew? I bet Sam didn't and he probably didn't expect the success he has today. I think that's the fun part of movies, sometimes people get your art and sometimes they don't, but you can have a home run sometimes and life has it's little surprises.
10/10
