Very Dated.

Rating: 5/10 (16 June 2003)

I remember when i first saw The Evil Dead 20 years ago in a bar in Spain and i remember the excitement i felt when i watched the film.It was like nothing i had ever seen before and was talked about by all my fellow teenage mates. In a funny sort of way i wished i looked at films now as i did then but then i wasn't interested in how bad the acting was or how appalling the direction was and all i was concerned about was the blood and gore.
Having watched the film again i can really see how dreadfull some aspects of the film are.Having said that this film is still creepy and atmospheric but has dated incredibly badly. Bruce Campbell's performance as the leading man is so bad it borders on funny and must be one of the worst acting performances i have ever seen. This film really smacks of a low budget movie but because of my teenage memories of siting in a bar in Benidorm being scared out of my wits this film will always hold some good memories. 5 out of 10.
