THE EVIL DEAD - The best horror movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2018)

THE EVIL DEAD to me, is the best horror movie ever made. I still remember shivering and getting out of my mind when I snuck the VCR of this into the player while my parents slept back in the 80's.
As of today, this is still the best horror movie I have ever seen. EVen though the film was low budget, it still managed to bring the scares and a bucketload (and more) of gore to the film.
The first of a trilogy, it is this film which is strictly horror in every sense of the word. The comedy you may see in it now, was not intentional. Bruce Campbell is an absolute legend and this was one of his earliest films. WITHIN THE WOODS was the precusor to THE EVIL DEAD, and that is a brilliant nasty little film in its own right.
If you are only familiar with EVIL DEAD 2, ARMY OF DARKNESS or ASH VS EVIL DEAD, then you need to do yourself a favor and watch the original film which started it all. It may start off slow, but when it gets to the horror, it does not stop. And it is not relenting.
I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. It is a solid 10/10 from me
