Surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 1999)

I have just watched this movie and actually it was surprisingly good. 5 college students go up to a cabin in the middle of nowhere for a vacation. They open a book of the dead and listen to a former visitors diary and accidently re awake the evil dead. Although this story lacks deeply the directing and camera work is very unique and inventive. Some points in the film are extremely well done e.g. the upside down camara on ash, a girls turn to a monster, and the hilarious rape scene( a tree actually rapes a girl!) Evil Dead lacks in plot but the great camara work and imagery makes up for it.
