The Evil Dead

Rating: 7/10 (29 January 2018)

Short and Simple Review
The plot is full of clichés but since this is an older movie it may seem original. The story is kind of intriguing but it is still a little weak. The pacing in the movie is very slow in the beginning but picks up towards the end.
The acting is overdone. Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Hal Delrich, Betsy Baker, and Sarah York perform on the standard of old horror films. All in all, the acting feels old in a bad way.
The gore is the best part. The amount of creative uses of gore is great. From melting scenes to grotesque monsters, this film does a great job at making gore seem fresh and unique.
Pros: Great use of gore, suspenseful third act, and a semi intruding story
Cons: Outdated acting, slow pacing in the beginning, and a cliché story
Overall Rating: 7.1
