Summary: oh no, sonny, they don't make em like this no more
Review: Hands down the greastest low budget gore film ever! The film has a huge reputation and lives up to it every bit. And this book of the dead DVD is the ultimate collector's must have! Don't think so? Well, middle finger to you. You're missing out. (geez, its a joke!) Honestly, though. Make an effort. What do you have to loose, besides a hour and half? Better spent on this than the dreck we know as Hollywood.

Summary: Classic Scarefest!
Review: This whole series is absolutely excellent! However, the first has the absence of comedy and is packed with scary scenes. Sam Raimi has done a marvelous job scarring the hell out of me with this low-budget nightmare. This movie is an absoulte must for any horror fan, and i also recommend getting Evil Dead 2 and Army Darkness.
The second and third films have quite a bit of funny scenes in them and they made Bruce Cambell turn into a "Cult-Film-Hero." However this first film is a triumph in every sence of the word. Stop Reading and reviews and buy it already!

Summary: Best DVD I have ever purchased!
Review: This is not only one of my top ten favorite movies, it has got to be the best dvd Ive bought. There are so many cool facts and documentaries and hidden features. If you have time, you can sit down and decode the language written in the book to find cool messages from Tom Sullivan who worked on it and other things on the Evil Dead.BRAVO MR.RAIMI AND COMPANY! Now all we need is Evil Dead IV!

Summary: 5 stars for the movie; 0 for the Anchor Bay DVD.
Review: I have something to warn all purchasers of "The Evil Dead: Book Of The Dead" DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment: THIS MOVIE WAS SHOT IN THE RATIO OF 1.33:1, WHICH IS FULL-FRAME TO FIT YOUR SCREEN. ANCHOR BAY SLAPPED 1.85:1 RATIO BARS OVER (I repeat, OVER) THE FULL-FRAME FILM!! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, WATCH THE ELITE ENTERTAINMENT DVD VERSION OF EVIL DEAD. YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW BIG TIME COMPANIES WILL FOOL THE PUBLIC BY PRESENTING FULL-FRAME FILMS IN "WIDESCREEN" COVERING UP THE PICTURE!! BUYER BEWARE!!

Review: This is a great DVD.It has some nifty xtra's and of course the movie itself is xcellent.My only complaints would have to be that there was no subtitles and the price tag is a bit stiff.But hey if your a deadhead like myself it's worth the robbing your mamma's piggy bank.

Review: To all of you out there that are critisizing this movie mabye you should think of one thing. the money that was put in this movie was incrediably small. for what this picture cost it was great. mixing comedy with horror. now i have not seen evil dead 2 yet but i have seen army of darkness and all in all i think this was a better film. AOD was to slapstick for me, some parts were quite funny(the three stooges skeleton hands) but other parts were just silly. here you didn't know wether to laugh or be scarred. this is what made this film great.

Summary: One of the best independent films ever made
Review: I bought this video for dirt cheap and thought that the quality of the video and sound would be compromised. Well, Anchor Bay Entertainment really surprised me with this one!
The video quality is the same as any rental copy that's out there. It looked as good as I remember it did when I rented it out years ago off the new-release section at the local video store. It's also recorded in SP and not in garbage EP like you would expect from these types of smaller video companies, so the picture isn't grainy.
The video wasn't really in surround, but the sound was very good none-the-less. It is digitally mastered so the digital stereo sound does sound quite nice. This does bring out the creepy atmosphere of this movie in the right places.
I like this movie so much because it was back in the day before Sam Raimi wasn't constrained by Hollywood studio executives and let his imagination fly. They were all young, especially Bruce Campbell (who hasnt changed all that much over the years), and you can feel the youthfull energy that exudes from this film. It is (in my opinion)the creepiest of the trilogy. There's plenty of blood for you gorehounds to enjoy. I think it's the perfect Halloween-popcorn and soda movie.
