Entertaining......if not a little dated.

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 2013)

I can understand this movie's appeal. It's overloaded with gore, unintentional comedy( truth be told, Evil dead was originally intended to be a serious horror film, however, it often gets mistaken for a horror comedy merely because of the films laughable and primitive effects) and a very likable lead, Bruce Campbell. But, looking back, I don't know if you can honestly regard this as a ''masterpiece of horror'' like many claim. In my opinion, it hasn't stood the test of time very well. As a matter of fact, it is awful by today's standards, like many other old horror films out there. The camera work is amateurish, The make up effects look comical, and the gore is cheesy and overdone.
