This is why Sam Raimi deserves a star on the Walk of Fame.

ALRIGHT! This is what started it all! From the moment that Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his friends are attacked by the title characters, you know that you're in for something cool! I loved every scene in this movie. Continuity errors, you say? WHO CARES?! The point of "The Evil Dead" is to have the evil spirits tear people apart, and then to have Ash turn his chainsaw on them. Granted, you probably shouldn't let just anyone see this movie (that scene with the roots is particularly inappropriate for little children), but for anyone mature enough, this is THE movie to see. It's probably the only horror flick besides "The Shining" that has pre-WWII music for its soundtrack, and I would like to assert that it puts Bruce Campbell on the same level as Jimmy Stewart, Al Pacino and Tom Hanks.
