A classic

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2006)

Evil Dead has completely bypassed the so bad its good stage, and just gone straight to good. Sam Raimi, who also directed both fantastic sequels, proves to us with his fantastic second film that he obviously has talent and good humour in this darkly comic, gore fuelled zombie masterpiece that will, without a shadow of a doubt, always be a cult classic. Yes the acting is a bit poor, the budget is almost non-existent and plot is safe to say, not the first thing on Mr Raimi's mind, but anything like that will be the absolute last thing on your minds. Just sit back and enjoy the thrills, spills (of blood) and Bruce Campbell glorious head of hair.
