Best Horror Flick Since Halloween

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2000)

I'll start off by saying i'm a huge horror movie fan but i'm very very picky and the only movie I had never seen was Evil Dead, in fact, I still have yet to rent part 2 & Army of Darkness.
I rented the original Evil Dead with about 5 other horror movies just this past weekend so it needed to be amazing to make me happy other than the others I had rented and that i'm so picky. After watching it, I have to say I haven't seen a more horrific original movie since Halloween. It was great, scary, fun and left me with my mouth wide open at the end. The acting was actually approved for the 80's. The music helped a lot with the movie making it eerie and actually putting you in the cabin 5 teenagers were in. The make-up was very very disgustingly real and great. There was enough blood in there to support all of Canada for the next 5 years so that was an extra bonus. This movie wasn't just some cheesy horror flick with no plot or anything, it was original and you have to think original. I'm living in the new millenium where movies come out that are more modern for everybody but you have to think back then and that is some scary stuff for 18 years back. The whole movie was a mix of Halloween, Exorcist & Night of the Living Dead & I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to see the sequel & Army of Darkness, i've heard good stuff about 'em. 9 out of 10, a must see.
