Summary: Evil Dead 2 & Army of Darkness far superior
Review: Okay, it's fine and a lot of hard work made much of a low budget. BUT Evil Dead 2 is FAAAAAAAAAAR Better! Not only that, Evil Dead 2 is pretty much a re-make, so it's a waste to see Evil Dead 1. Army of Darkness is even better than Evil Dead 1 or 2. So see those movies, and then, if you really MUST have more Evil Dead, buy the original last.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cult Classic Enhanced
Review: This movie provided more scares and laughs while launching the career of a very stylistic director. This film demonstrates how scares can be pulled from the audience without the need for excessive violence, then offers up excessive violence in an almost mocking manner. Sam Raimi provided this cult classic to the world, and I while I can't represent everyone, I think it's safe to say that the world thanks Sam.

The DVD offers a few bonus materials. The commentary by Bruce "Don't Call Me Ash" Campbell is interesting and funny, providing glimpses into the errors that made it to the final cut as well as providing humorous insights to the making. The commentary by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert is very intersting too, although I would probably say I preferred Bruce's. The Behind the Scenes and alternate takes were interesting at first, but after a while, hearing someone scream can get old. 20 minutes just downright hurts. But don't let that deter you. Get this DVD and stay groovy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Terrible!!!!
Review: This movie is a total fluke to me. There isn't anything scary about it. I think it is more so stupid than anything. I actually found it to be quit amusing than scary. Those zombies where a crock in my opinion. This movie is so chessy it's pathetic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best horror movie with convincing effects.
Review: The Evil Dead is one of the best B-movie horror films made. On a limited budget of 350,000, Sam Raimi set out to make the "Ultimate Experience in Grueling Terror," what he got was one hell of a ride. The special efects are great for their time and budget, very convincing. The rapid editing and quick camera cuts makes for some of the greatest suspense seen on film. The 'Sam-Cam' is also first-rate. It supposed to make it look like a spirit out in the woods, and is delivered magnifincently. The acting, though, is typical B-movie fare. Which means they tried to hard, and over-acted. But don't get confused with the second one either. This one doesn't have the humor (but the effects are hilarious, in a good way) and Ash doesn't have a chainsaw stuck to his hand spouting off one-liners to demos. The first film has an emphasis on scares over laughs.

I recommend this film for anyone interested in horror movies or someone wanting to make films for themselves. If you haven't seen this yet, then what the hell are you waiting for?!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This Stinks
Review: This movie stinks the graphics, sounds, and whole just story stinks. If you want a good movie get ARMY OF DARKNESS. It is the sequel of the sequel of this movie. It is very very funny. And it isn't one of those movies you get bored of after you watch it once. You can watch it a hundred times and still laugh your head off. Literally

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The dvd version increase the cheesiness
Review: I love horror movies. I remember loving this movie when it came out. When I finally wore out my VHS copy of Evil dead and brought it on DVD, I noticed that the DVD made the effects more obvivous. It doesn't make it any less of a cult film though. I still love it. Plus the DVD came with lots of great extras.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: truely terrifying
Review: Last night, I watched this movie for the 17th time with my cousin. It was her first time seeing it, and she was so scared you wouldnt believe it. As soon as the girl turned around and yelled "ACE OF SPADES!!!" she started screaming in my ear. Then when I had to bring her home, i grabbed her leg and she ran into the car. I was so creeped out when i saw this for the first time. As for the sequels, Dead by Dawn was good, but why the hell would Ash go back to the cabin? and Army of Darkness is so funny. I still can't understand why that one wasn't rated PG-13. I highly recommend the original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cheryl was right, it's not gonna let us leave.
Review: AHHHH!!!!! I first saw this movie when I was 11 (I'm 13 now) and it freaked me out. And I don't get scared easily, mind you.

Our premise is there are 5 college kids from Michigan State University who want to celebrate (their graduation? vacation?) and they go off to a cabin in the Tennesse woods. Then they go in the basement and find a reel to reel tape recorder which they play and it awakens these evil spirts that one by one posess the students. I'm not giving away the rest, I had no clue what was gonna happen when I first saw it. This is my alltime favorite movie, and it can be yours too---if you're not too SCARED.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE EVIL DEAD
Review: Five college students spending a weekend at a cabin in the Tennesse woods accidentally revive demons who possess their bodies.This low budget wonder isnt much in the plot department but it features lots of inventive energetic camera work and plently of hysterically gruesome special effects.Most of the violence is committed against unfeeling demons so its not hard to take.Though a sequence in which a women is molested by a tree is in poor taste!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the must of the horror show
Review: With the excellent Bruce Campbell and Sam raimi you've got a great film. Made with a few bucks but with a lot of love, this movie is a classical of the horror movies.
