Summary: "Join Us!"
Review: Sam Raimi's film will grip you by the throat, make your heart pound, and keep you at the edge of your seat. Bruce Campbell is just lovable as the ever bumbling, almost cowardly Ash. This is one of the best horror films I have ever seen.

Review: THE EVIL DEAD
Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Hal Delrich, Betsy Baker, Sarah York, 1982 Synopsis
Tale of a group of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, where they find an unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. They find the Necronomicon, the book of the dead, and the taped translation of the text. Once the tape is played, the evil is released. One by one, the teens become deadly zombies. My Review
I saw all the positive reviews for this film on amazon.com. So I ordered it. I gotta say - what a waste of money! Such bad acting, and cheesy special effects. It looked liked a high school film project. The five characters probably look back and laugh at this corny horror flick.

Summary: really cool cabin movie
Review: I thought that this movie is really cool. Especially if you watch it at night. It is reaally scary. One by One Ash's friends turn into demons. Now, Ash is the only person, that is not a demon. He has to chop all of his buddies up with an ax. And has to lock the first one, that turns into one, down in the cellar. When I saw the other ones, 2, and Army of darkness, I liked #2, but Army of Darkness, was a comedy. but I liked it anyways. I would recommend all of the series.

Summary: Evil Dead-Special Edition
Review: This movie is great. The viual and audion quality has been redone very well. Despite the outdated clothes, the movie looks like it could have been filmed yesterday. The movie starts of slow, with lots of cheesy dialogue, but what horror movie doesn't. After the first half hour, get ready to be scared. There is only two movies that scare me, the Excorcist, and this Evil Dead. The movie is disturbing, scary, and well written. I highly recomend this DVD as well as the two sequels.

Summary: Many imitaters, no true successor
Review: Ever since its release back in 1979, Sam Raimi's "ferciously original horror film (Stephen King)" has stood in a class all its own simply because no movie has ever been able to truly succeed it. The film's only true superior is its immediate sequel "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn," but most of us already knew that, so we won't count that one in the grand scheme of things. When "The Evil Dead" was released, it was so totally gory, repulsive, funny, and scary that people couldn't decide whether this was visionary-ahead-of-its-time-filmmaking or a total waste of brain cells. The more intelligent among us recognize it as art in a genre during which time was just being rebirthed, thanks to the success of John Carpenter's masterful "Halloween," which paved the way for pretty much every horror film that came after it. But Raimi didn't do what most of the filmmakers of the eighties tried to do, which was to basically copy the "Halloween" formula down on paper and make a new script with it. No, he had something much darker in mind; something that dwelt within the woods and could be reawakened by the incantations of an ancient book: Nocturum de Morto - The Book of the Dead, later renamed Necronomicon Ex Mortis, which was later abused by producer Brian Yuzna for the awful H.P. Lovecraft film called "Necronomicon." The book, which served as a passage way to the evil worlds of the beyond was translated and studied by Professor Raymond Knowby, who used a tape recorder to record the phonetic pronounciations of the book's passages, not fully knowing exactly what he was doing with it. The professor ended up dead (we assume) after his wife attempted to kill him while possessed. But the professor reveals one vital clue as to how to destroy the demons in human form: Bodily dismemberment. Do we actually see this? Yes we do, and it actually looks realistic enough to churn a stomach or two. Yet, despite all of this seriousness, the acting of the film is so purposely bad that we realize that we're seeing more than a horror film: This is a satire. "The Evil Dead" was not made in bad taste, as its more hateful critics hypothesized, but on the contrast, it is about bad taste, and about making fun of bad taste in a new way. Not only do we see evidence of this in the bodily dismemberment of one inhabitant of the cursed cabin, but in the "raping" of another, the stabbing in the ankle of yet another, and the decapitation of the same "yet another." This movie is so full of Karo syrup and latex it would've been easy for it to get lost along the way, but Sam Raimi keeps the film along the same track the entire time, lighting the path with lanterns of dark humor, and it never steps wrong. At its center is a sympathetic Bruce Campbell performance, amazing camerawork for such a low budget, and enough gore for an entire room of blood-and-guts hounds. You gotta love it.
