It's all about the gloom and doom.

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2003)

The plot itself for Evil Dead is not very good. It's kind of bad actually. I believe that if anyone today tried to do a remake, it would even surpass the awful 'Psycho'-remake from 1998 on the list of pathetic movies.
What makes Evil Dead one of the best horrorfilms ever, is the way it's presented. It has the same kind of feeling you get when you listen to the early 70's Black Sabbath. Very, very doomy and gloomy.
I'm not a big fan of the "Zombie" genre. Evil Dead is a great movie, but 90% of similar movies really sucks. It's a thin line between success and failure.
