The joys of low-budget film-making.

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 1999)

There is a complete innocence in the wicked ways of The Evil Dead. The film is made to scare and disgust you and achieves some of those things, other things seem long and drawn out. Sam Raimi has alot of great originality behind the camera. Some of the point-of-view shots of the evil in the forest are some of the most interesting shots you will ever see in a film. This film is a prime example of a low-budget causing the filmmakers to become more creative. The acting in this film is very stiff, the directing and camera work however are very interesting and creative. The Evil Dead is one of the most original horror films you'll ever see and there are still two sequels to watch that are classics.
