Greatest horror movie of its genre

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 1998)

I watched Evil Dead for the first time this halloween(1998) and I immediately became an "evil dead head". It is about 5 friends that go out to an old cabin in the middle of the woods and stumble upon an old tape recorder which recites ancient words bringing an evil spirit into this world. Although, it is one of the scariest and gruesome movies I have ever seen, It also has its comedic moments as well. This has got to be the greatest horror movie I have ever seen in my life. Bruce Cambell (Ash the hero) gradually transforms from an everyday-joe into a rough-and-tough killing machine (not to mention his dwindling sanity). I totally dig the special effects and the mix of horror and comedy. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for an original scare. Overall: Great movie (10 stars)
