Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. Sam Raimi as something else entirely. To them, Raimi is the gifted, twisted, and at times revolutionary force behind arguably the hippest and most entertaining horror trilogy ever captured on celluloid, the Evil Dead. That said, Raimi's direction is anything but ordinary. Evil Dead doesn't look like any other horror film because it isn't shot like any other horror film.
Scenes flash before the audience in frenzied, rapid fire sequences.
Raimi's camera work is shaky and rarely stationary, an effect that encourages viewers to imagine they are riding a roller-coaster rather than watching a motion picture. And clearly that is the point. Raimi's movie aims to offer audiences the ultimate filmic sensory experience. But it wasn't until five years later that he had the financial resources and directorial know-how to finally pull it off. Rarely has a director created a film so deliberately chaotic and bizarre.
