The Evil Dead is the first of a cult-classic trilogy of films which would later have a trilogy of video games that follow.I didn't see Army Of Darkness.I saw Evil Dead II however.I thought Evil Dead II was better but only by a little bit.This film has anything a zombie horror movie fan could want.Its cheaply made,it has a simple storyline but there is tons and tons of gore.The plot as I said was simple.Its about five friends who stay in a log cabin in the middle of the woods.They look around the log cabin and find a tape player with a tape.This tape explains the book of the dead which they also found and it recites passages which awaken the deadites(zombies).So basically the rest is a survival film with all the friends turning into zombies and Ash, the only character who did not turn into a zombie, trying to survive and help his friends survive.With an unexpected ending and tons of gore, The Evil Dead is a movie that fans of zombie films will not want to miss.
