The Evil Dead is as lame as...

Rating: 3/10 (1 June 2009)

As lame as The Blair Witch Project.
C'mon people! The reviews for The Evil Dead are a classic case of Group Think. I finally caved in and rented this flick. Drag Me To Hell is such a clever title, and the whole hype about Sam Raimi returning to horror had me curious.
However...
I can only respect The Evil Dead for the fact that it was low budget and a bunch of college buddies got together and made it happen. Not many people could have pulled it off under the same set of circumstances. But MASTERPIECE?!!
Please guys, be realistic. Some of you give this 10 stars!!?
My expectations were WAY too high!
Call it what it is. A campy, low budget, impressive first attempt. But it STILL only scores a 4 out of 10. (I'd give it a 5 if it had a plot.)
Again, how this gets rated as high as Alien or 28 Days Later is just silly.
