One of the best horror films ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2003)

THE EVIL DEAD Sam Raimi's first film, starring Bruce Campbell may not be the masterpiece that The Godfather or Citizen Kane is, but what do you expect? It's classic campy horror fun. I'd take this flick over any art film anyday. Bruce Campbell's performance is note worthy, he sticks out as being great in his first real movie. Sam's directing is top notch, and more involving and fun than his directing in Spider-Man. The script is a bit cheesy but if someone can kick back and have fun with the movie, they'll enjoy it much more. The Evil Dead is one of my favorite horror movies, second only to Halloween and Dawn of the Dead.
4 1/2 of 5 stars.
