Cult classic!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2002)

Sam Raimi's original cult classic is probably one of the better zombie movies ever made. THE EVIL DEAD, becoming legend in the horror genre shocked audiences around the world and became a phenomenon. Who would have thought that a simple independent horror film would become such a hit? Certainly not Sam Raimi or film star Bruce Campbell, who was pretty much the only actor who went on to bigger and better movies.
If you are a fan of zombie movies and horror films in general, then this original cult classic will satisfy your appetite for horror and gore.

The acting is pretty good and the film's premise and story are somewhat original, especially for such a low-budget movie. For being what it is, THE EVIL DEAD was a masterpiece of horror.
THE EVIL DEAD gets 3/5.
