The Evil Dead (1981)
7/10
Fast pace,creepy,dark and well developed first film by Sam Raimi
8 January 2007
This frightening,strikingly designed horror movie that has became a cult favorite thanks to its unstopped terror deals about a group of five friends go into at mountain cabin and they find the book of the dead,the¨ Necronomicon¨, then begin a possession demoniac and they undergo an eerie transformation at night and going on a murderous rampage.The main starring(Bruce Campbell)who get drawn into a web of evil and is beset by horrible demons.

This lack budget film contains tension,terror,shocks and lots of blood,slime and guts.The movie is blending from ¨Night of the living dead¨with a creepy creatures submitted a fantastic possession has transformed into flesh eating,from Dario Argento's ¨Suspiria¨ spectres, and of course the ¨Exorcist¨ ,besides the death of possessed bears absolutely resemblance to Terence Fisher's ¨Dracula¨.Highly adequate make up and special with effective monsters.It must be stated that this is one of the grossest,disgusting and most brutally unnerving movies in the story.This independently produced gem features sets and production standards usually found in Z grade movies but is skillfully narrated and results to be an exciting horror film.Followed by two inferior sequels: ¨¨Evil dead ¨2 ,¨Army of darkness ¨ with similar actor(Bruce Campbell),producer(Robert Tapert by Renaissance pictures),musician(Joseph LoDuca) and well directed by Sam Raimi.A minor classic providing chills and grisly horror and isn't apt for squeamish neither feeble stomachs.Well worth watching for terror and gore lovers.
