The last great horror made so far!

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 1998)

This was the first of the three Evil Dead movies. It is also the scariest as the other two are really comedies disguised as horrors. I first saw this movie while in the mountains on an Army exercise with two other males and I can tell you that no matter what type of false bravado there was between ourselves, this movie had all of us looking over our shoulders out there.
A group of young campers visit a cabin in the *mountains* (now you see why it had us nervous) and unwittingly releases demonic spirits that take over the souls and bodies of these young campers. The premise from here is sort of like the Exorcist (MAGNIFIED). From there the film will have you on the edge of your seat. The make-up and special effects are average but this was a low budget film. This type of movie was made to be seen in a nice secluded place, or on a miserable rainy night with all of your lights off, not during the day with a whole lot of people around you (It's easy to *act* brave when you watch a horror movie with several other people). I've exposed a lot of people who thought that they could watch this movie in the house alone with all of the lights out and they ALL haven't watched it a second time that way. Also for the guys, trust me on this, if you've just met a nice woman and invited her to your place to watch a movie, (if she agrees to watch a horror) "THIS IS THE ONE!!" it'll have her clinging on to you throughout most of the movie. It's happened to me several times. This is the last GREAT horror film that's been made up to this time!
