One of the scariest demonic possession movies ever made

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2019)

I first saw The Evil Dead at age 13 and thought it's just a scary movie how bad can it be I was very wrong This is the only movie I can't watch it with the sound way up and in the dark even to this day.
The Idea behind the movie is 5 friends go for a weekend trip to a cabin out in the woods and well this sounds like the basis for most modern day horror movies The Evil Dead was one of the first to do this when night falls they accidentally awaken demons from there ancient slumber that take new life by possessing the souls of the living and killing anything made of flesh and bone one by one they are taken as the demons use the bodies of there victims to torture those left alive as they try to survive till dawn in the isolated cabin the forest that surrounds them alive and waiting for them to run so they can tear away the flesh from there bones.
A lot of movies have done demons and possession before and after this movie but in my opinion this is the only movie that really makes it terrifying as the demons take full control of the living transforming there bodies to withering skin and decaying flesh with the eyes becoming pure evil and pulsating with blood no human soul remains inside the body is a pure meat vessel for the demons to have there fun even going so far as to bite off limbs with no care for there new flesh and skin.
The sounds in this movie are very atmospheric and set the tone for the movie perfectly I have seen many horror movies try to create Demonic voices and make them scary but the actors and actress's make the screams and voices of the demons truly frighting and so loud you wouldn't think of having the volume up as the screams will scare you and make you cover your ears in fear.
The movie was made on a very small budget by then unknown director Sam Raimi the crew mostly made up of friends and other eager filmmakers actors and stage crew who dedicated there time and effort to make this movie that took them so long to shoot running out of money more than once in the process.
The actors and actress's do a very good job in this movie with memorable performances as humans and the demons Bruce Campbell takes the lead and it's easy to see why he became so well known over the years his acting is top notch.
If you are a fan of horror movies filled with blood gore demons decapitations and alike I urge you to watch The Evil Dead it may be an old movie now but the screams and imagery will keep you awake at night.
