A True Classic!

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2014)

Where can you even start? The Evil Dead, directed by Sam Raimi, starring Bruce Campbell, produced by Rob Tapert, with assistance from Josh Becker, and special effects by Bart Pierce, and even co-edited by Joel Coen, as far as horror movies go, The Evil Dead is the best of the best. It was here that Ash, the greatest horror hero in cinema was born. He has had two more adventures (Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness) and I hope he will have at least one more. At the end of the remake Bruce Campbell had a cameo which gives me hope that this might still happen. The remake was decent, but the original is just the best. It's scary, it's funny, and the camera work is out of this world. Sam Raimi was a genius even when he was a teenager and a better director than most directors when they're 40. If you haven't seen the original Evil Dead you really should. Even Stephen King agrees it's the best, and he's the King of horror!
