Amazing!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2001)

There are two components to a good horror movie: the psychological value, and the humor value. Almost all horror movies have found one or the other, but The Evil Dead, has found the perfect combination. The absurdity of the much-discussed, excess in blood and total bodily dismemberment, adds the perfect humor value, but doesn't let it get silly like some horror classics(blood diner, Ice Cream man). But there's is also this very creepy element to the movie that even with such a low budget, Sam Raimi, was able to mastermind a very psychological thriller. The points where the hero, Ash is alone in the creepy cabin, surrounded by the bodies of his friends as the house seems to react to his presence, messed with my head. Bruce Campbell really makes his character show the paranoia of being in complete solitude, while an incredibly evil force tries to get the best of him. This movie is possibly the best horror movie i have ever seen! Watch it alone in the dark, and be prepared to wet yourself, while chuckling at the girl's body searching for her head, as it remains laughing beside the stump of her neck. Incredible cult classic!!! Rent it now!!!
