Five friends vacationing in the mountains, demonic possession, dismemberment, mutilation, a bite of nudity, and (in my words) a sinister love scene between girl and tree is truly the appetite for malice.

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 1998)

In my opinion, movies like "Evil Dead" are the truly great horror films. Low budget is just a minor casualty, it doesn't matter how much cash you have. It's like that old "wood shop" motto "QUALITY IS BETTER THAN QUANTITY" and this movie lives up to that. Now I'm not saying that every low budget flick has a good plot, nor am I saying that every high budget flick has a bad plot, all I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter. This movie captures the essence of a good horror movie. Raimi, Campbell and the rest of the production staff made this film a masterpiece of the modern screen. From the dismemberment of the demonic possessed to the nice camera angles this film gets my endorsement this is an explosive and utterly malignant film.
