Classic

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 1998)

I also saw this movie while young (about 10) and this scared the crap out of me for nights on end. Completely serious (if horror movies are serious) unlike its sequels, Evil Dead doesn't take long to turn on the horror, and once it does it's unrelenting through the rest of the movie. The evil force crashing through the woods that you never saw (love the noise it made also) was perfect. An untangible presence that struck randomly... great stuff.
