Possibly my favorite horror film

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2005)

Evil Dead is a fun movie to watch.If you've read about how the film was made you appreciate it much much more(Check out Bruce Campbell's autobiography If Chins Could Kill) For it's low budget,Evil Dead is a very effective horror film.It has excellent make-up effects(People with weak stomaches will not enjoy Evil Dead) Yes the gore is very very extreme,but their is fear to go along with it. Raimi builds up a lot of suspense.The film has a dark and evil feel to it,its murky cabins,to the possessed forest.Even though Evil Dead doesn't have the best acting,its not as horrible as people make it out to be,remember the cast was made up of college kids who had little to no experience before.The movie isn't just some college kid monster movie,it's much better because it's darker and more gruesome.Some would say it's just corn syrup gushing around,but Sam Raimi,Bruce Campbell and company made Evil Dead very unique to put it high up within the horror genre.Some of the gore in Evil Dead has yet to be outdone(Scotty's death) It's without a doubt the most gory horror movie next to Peter Jackson's Dead Alive.
