An excellent low-budgeter

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 1998)

Sam Raimi's classic The Evil Dead is not like any other bloodfest. Raimi focuses mainly on the suspense, and this he does well. In my opinion, he is above any other horror director such as John Carpenter or Wes Craven. Even the infamous rape scene is as beautifully directed as Hitchcock's Psycho shower scene. He is certainly a director with much potential, and this can be seen in his other Evil Dead films. However, like many other Horror films, it loses much of its touch when viewed with others. You've got to love the Play-Do special effects.
