one of the greatest horror movies ever

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2008)

the evil dead is a masterpiece, one of the greatest stories ever told in horror, shot on a little to none budget the movie amazes me every time i see it.
the plot some young men and women four exactly go to a cabin in the woods, the boys Bruce 2 the other guy go down stairs to the basement only to find some old "junk" the "junk" turns out to be a tape player, a shotgun, a big skull knife and the book of the dead. they then accidentally release the evil dead spirits which then torture and torment each one of the holiday makers until ash (Bruce Campbell) remains having to fight of the evil dead and surviving until dawn he triumphs or does he?.
this movie is probably the greatest film to come out of the 80's only a nightmare on elm st can possibly challenge this monster film. without this film we would be missing another horror icon ash who in evil dead 2 gains the famous chainsaw arm and blurts out 'groovy'.
underlying the horror parts of this film is dark comedy and a few great animation scenes which are very innovative. just because cheap isn't always rubbish i give this film.
9.3/10
