The Evil Dud

Rating: 1/10 (26 October 2009)

"The Evil Dead" is one of those movies you hear people talking about from time-to-time. Amongst horror film fans, it seems to be regarded as some sort of "classic" or "must-see". I am completely mystified as to why this turkey receives such fanfare.
Honestly, I can't believe people are still talking about this movie after nearly thirty years. This is the type of movie you would expect to see in the bargain bin at some forgotten swap meet or garage sale.
I don't dislike Bruce Campbell, I thought it was nice to see a male character survive a horror film for once, but I don't think he's as amazing as what so many people seem to think he is. He admits freely he is as "B-movie" actor, and for the most part he makes nothing but crap.
I strongly urge anyone who hasn't seen this movie to go ahead and skip it. Don't believe the hype, trust me on this one.
