An Experience In Drooling Over Camerawork

Rating: Null/10 (2 October 2001)

With the wind howling outside, I slouched upon the sofa to watch Evil Dead and enjoyed it verymuch. So, 24 hours later, here are some of my thoughts. The special effects are pretty outrageous- like seeing the combined contents of a fridge and chemistry set thrown over the actors. As for the acting, it is...dire, though Bruce Campbell is beliveable as Ash, trying to survive with his sanity intact. Also the script did not appear to allow for characterization. And it isn't that sary either. But I must heartily recommend this for at leat this single reason- Sam Raimi and his magic camera. The sheer imagination behind the lens is what impressed me most. Credit must also go to the d.o.p. too. Klaatu Barada Nikto!
