sweet little movie

Rating: 6/10 (18 June 1999)

In Raimi's first movie you can already see his directing qualities. Conceived as a "This is cheap, but let's see how many people are going to throw up their lunch" film it features extrodinary camera work and a brilliant actor (Bruce Campbell) and Raimi did well in concentrating on them. Because of the bad script and the lousy co-actors, this appears indeed as a first try and in his second try (Evil Dead II) he adds what is missing in this film: humour. But with a few beers and friends it still is a sweet little movie, but nothing more (I give 6 out of 10).
