The only thing dead about this movie is the dialogue

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2002)

Ah, the works of Bruce Campbell. The king of B-movies. So, he is a B-movie actor. But he is THE B-movie actor. The Evil Dead series is living proof that you can win even if you aren't the best of actors. Evil Dead is the only exception in my choices of best of the ED series. This one lacks a lavish script, has no humor, bad special effects, and has no point of entertainment. Evil Dead 2 had almost the exact same description except for the humor, and entertainment points. ED2 lacked script, but had awesome action and some good humor. Evil Dead numero uno does not. Don't get me wrong. The movie itself was good. The only problem was that I saw Army of Darkness before Evil Dead. The comparison of characters was astonishing and Ash was a wimp compared to the Duke Nukem style Ash in AoD. People, do yourselves a favor. Skip out on ED1 and go straight for ED2. Only if you have a need to see it, or if you thought that the lunchbox it comes with is cool (like me), watch the movie. All else, Caveat Contempor (or whatever).
