Evil Dead rules!

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2010)

Not quite a perfect horror film, but definitely a great and solid one. If you're looking for an extremely gory movie, you've found it. "Evil Dead" is a legendary cult classic that will both scare you and make you laugh. Some people argue that "Evil Dead 2" is better, but I disagree. The original "Evil Dead" is quite gruesome, thus it is very entertaining. Demonic zombies? People possessed by evil spirits? Evil trees? Now that's a movie for you. This is a great movie to watch late at night in the dark, and it is classifiable as a "midnight movie". Evil Dead is not like any other zombie movie that you may have seen; this one is quite original, and it lacks elements of the generic and clichéd zombie movie elements. Instead of your stereotypical zombies, you get scary, deformed monsters. Even murderous trees.
