The Evil Dead: Join Us

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2014)

In 1981 The Evil Dead was premiered and at the same time a horror masterpiece was unveiled to the world. The Evil Dead immediately sets you up in a creepy mood just by the first few minutes; I absolutely love it. Now right away you are introduced to the charterers, 5 high school students (or college I don't know for sure) all of them are clichéd no doubt about it except for one, he's different but I'll touch up on that later. The story now seems very basic people go into and abandoned cabin to die in weird ways, simple but at the time that was new. The rest of the movie keeps its scary and suspenseful mood that keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for the payoff. Now the movie gets interesting; all hell breaks loose... LITERALLY! Demons start to posses bodies and tress? Thats right trees and this is shown in one of the most disturbing/ darkly comedic movie scenes depending on your sense of humor. The demon makeup is very good and the gore, there is so much gore DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH!! But the gore is a lot of fun to watch. Now to the one different character, Ash. All the characters get an equal screen time but one by one they're picked off until Ash is the survivor now in the first movie he's not as interesting as the sequels. Now lets talk about the final 5-7 minutes, it's fantastic a true display of stop motion effects, wonderful! The Evil Dead: its a horror movie with non stop scares, an incredibly fast paced movie that never lets up, its scary, its fun, and it gets a 9.5 out of 10. And one last thing about the first of the series; the ending (like very very end) is really awesome and the credits even tho nothing happens are cool to me at least.
