Gross but Good!

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2013)

I heard about the infamy of the Evil Dead which is what drew me to it initially, however I was hesitant to watch it as although I am a fan of the horror genre I'm not a fan of overly gory films.
I think the Evil Dead balances out being somewhat silly yet scary at the same time and although very gory it wasn't unbearable to watch most likely due to the fact of the era of which it was filmed.
The camera shots add to the suspense and there are quite a few creepy moments throughout the film which I didn't expect to be scared by.
Although Evil Dead 2 is regarded as more of a cult classic I definitely rate this one more and recommend it to fans of horror.
