Review

The Evil Dead is the work of writer director Sam Raimi.  It is a masterpiece in horror.  Which is a large accomplishment for such a low budget film.  The Evil Dead is not only a great horror movie, it is actually a rather scary horror movie.  The demons (or Deadites) in this movie are extremely creepy. 

Sam Raimi did a wonderful job in directing this movie.  His lighting techniques and zooms are dead on.  He knows exactly what the viewer wants to see and does a great job on delivering the goods.

This is a movie that must be seen by all horror fans.

Gore

This movie has lots of the red stuff.  We get dismemberments, chainsaw action, and a wicked cool pencil stabbed into the ankle.
