A classic low budget horror flick tinged with humour

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2000)

This is the first feature film from Sam Raimi and was foolishly added to the original video nasties list. It was made on a low budget with great flair and includes some great animated special effects and unique camera shots. The story is about a group of young college folks who travel into the woods in Tennessee to visit a log cabin, while there they discover an old book and unleash its evil spirit. It is not long before the folks start to be possessed by the spirit and it is left to a guy named Ash (amusingly played by Bruce Campbell) to be the hero and save the day. One of the great low budget horror films.
