It Created a Monster Out of Me!

Rating: 9/10 (27 September 2005)

Evil Dead - the original, the greatest. I saw this movie on accident with a friend when I was about 12 years old. At the time I didn't really have a favorite anything yet. Evil Dead helped establish horror movies as my favorite genre of film...and there is no question why! This movie is a masterpiece of horror macabre, surpassing the simplicity of your basic gore fest with intelligent cinematography, creativity, and sound. After studying horror films in college, I stand by my convictions that this is one of the greatest of all time. Sometimes laughable, always enjoyable - Evil Dead makes a mockery out of the slasher films of its era.
