The genius of Sam Raimi!

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2000)

I picked this up because it had Sam Raimi's name on it; "Darkman" had been one of the funniest movies I'd ever seen. With "Evil Dead", I was not disappointed.
This was simultaneously as funny as "Darkman", as scary as "Countess Dracula" and as gruesome as "The Fly" (David Cronenberg version). And in true Sam Raimi style, it was totally over the top! The first time in my memory that I screamed, winced and laughed at the same time. Justifiably considered a classic.
