Summary: Evil is Dead
Review: Okay,
For a b movie, this movie is AWESOME. Bruce Campbell(ash) is a wimp in this movie, but the monsters are awesome and the atmosphere is creepy, and the tree raping scene is a little on the disturbing side. Overall a solid movie, scarier then the 2nd and 3rd. This movie isn't scary, but it's creepy, a good family horror movie.

Summary: Misogynistic low-budget horror classic
Review: What could be more depraved and disturbing than a superhuman evil spirit that only possesses women, turning them into vicious murderous hags, and can only be stopped by completely dismembering the possessed body, forcing a well-meaning young man to brutally murder his own girlfriend? Hmmm, if they'd been married for years, it might not seem that far-fetched. This movie plays like a video version of an EC horror comic book. If this film doesn't creep you out, try watching it again on a large-screen set with hi-fi surround sound, at midnight with all the lights off in your house. I live in a heavily-wooded area, and when the spell that summons the Evil Dead was recited, all of the igniters on my gas range started firing non-stop, forcing me to unplug the unit. An appliance repairman told me that they just get stuck sometimes, but it still seems like an eerie coincidence.

Summary: The best horror film of all time!!
Review: Ok,throughout time this one has lost the impact it had back then in the 80's and 90's, unlike The Exorcist, but that's mainly because of it's incredibly low budget. Modern era fans most likely will be turned off by the "cheesy gore effects", but true die hard horror fans classify this one as not only one of the most brutal, visceral experiences you may have, but also the most engrossing, mind-warping experience of cinematography. It has been said a lot of times, but Sam Raimi truly titled himself a genius director with this gem. With a stunning budget of $300,000, he created the most original setups, an incredibly eerie and scary atmosphere, coupled with some of the most imaginative camera angles, gore fx and sound fx available. This movie is everything a horror movie should be: incredibly intense since the beggining, well-crafted suspense scenes, very creepy music, demons that are truly scary, and a huge amount of gore (dismemberments, heads chopped off, and an unbelievable self-eating scene!) All in all, a true horror masterpiece in all sense of the words. Evil Dead is an experience you don't wanna miss...

Summary: The Retarded Dead
Review: This movie bleeds out every last drop of common sense to the point where it hurts. Since when are giggling girls with heavy makeup scary? Also, no matter what kind of movie you're making, you can't keep switching back and forth between genres. The guy's running away from his zombie girlfriend one minute, then crying about her the next. My God, I could do far better than this without even trying.

Summary: camp classic!
Review: Five friends take a trip to a cabin in the woods and turn into zombies one by one. The cheesy effects are great! You can tell who is going to die first too, so it is all the fun of being scary while you can make fun of it. There is a "Scooby Doo" quality to it that's great!

Summary: Good for such a Small Budget
Review: The first time I saw this was years ago, and I hated it (horror wasn't my thing) but I picked it up again and watched it and I loved it! It's one of those films that tries to scare you with blood and gore and it ends up making you laugh at its attempts. Ash and his friends have traveled up to a somewhat abandoned cabin, where they find a tape player in the basement and play it..... So that resurrects the evil dead. Then one after one they get possessed then its up to ash to kill them. There is some cool gore scenes including full body dismemberment with an axe and an AWESOME eye gouge. Sam Raimi is now a high director in Hollywood and to think (everyone says this) he was making gore fests back in the day. After this buy the second one and army of darkness for the whole set. This movie is great to gross out your squeamish friends and even better to introduce you to the splatter genre.

Summary: **** 1/2
Review: Vacationing teens discover the Sumerian Book of the Dead in a Tennessee cabin and are forced to battle with the bloodthirsty spirits who want to possess them. Although low-budget and frequently ragged, this exuberant thriller has enough shocks and raw energy for a dozen such films. Director Sam Raimi, who was barely in his twenties at the time, shows an uncannily clever sense of camera movement and visual composition. The film's final ten minutes - a wildly bloody melange of gore, weird sound effects, even stop-motion animation - will have you screaming and laughing. This is the only horror film that scared me so badly I had to turn it off every time I tried to watch it. Dozens of times I attempted to make it through and each time it was too intense for me to complete. I finally was able to conquer this fear and recently got to view the entire film. "The Evil Dead" is amazing in it's ability to unsettle and it is unparelled in terms of sheer terror - the only movie to so consecutively and completely freak me out. A relentlessly brutal, nerve-jangling experience. If you can track down Raimi's original short film that he put together in order to sell his idea and receive the backing to make this full length feature, be sure to check it out! It's almost as creepy and brilliant as the resulting finished product.

Summary: This is the funniest movie EVER!
Review: A must see for all horror fans...and maybe some others too. Not as slapstick as the second and third, but with it's share of dark humor, Evil Dead is a highly entertaining movie! Bruce Campbell is a joy, as usual, and the over-the-top gore effects are even more pervasive here than in the others. Those who don't enjoy buckets and buckets of blood may want to steer clear, but as for the rest of you, enjoy!!!

Review: This was a great movie. Even though it had no plot at all it was a movie made just for fun, though they could have made it longer. It is a must see.
