Students plus cabin multiplied by evil forces . . .

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2004)

A very bold movement for late 80's horror genre on Raimi's part. I thoroughly enjoyed this film as far as originality and gore go, but the story lacked a little strength. I found that after this film was released, an abundance of followers tried to match the rawness and ferocity of Raimi's picture but failed to achieve a level of belief. For a film with a small under used budget, unknown cast and a fresh director, this film achieved quite a lot in the "critically acclaimed" department. A cult classic that is full of unorthodox methods that managed to beat out Stanley Kubrick in 1983 for best video of the year, TAKE THAT "SHINING"!
