Customer Reviews of Evil Dead (Limited Edition)
An Army Of Primitive Screwheads Unleashed Before director Sam Raimi brought Darkman and comic book superhero Spider-Man to the big screen, he wrote and directed a low budget horror zombie film, called The Evil Dead. While short on money, the movie still benefits from Raimi's wildly inventive imagination and the first of many memorable performances by the brilliant B actor Bruce Campbell.
Five college friends decide to get away together and spend time at a cabin in the woods. When "Ash" Williams (Campbell) and his cohorts arrive, they discover a mysterious tape, and decide to find out what's on it. Once the tape is played though, it unleashes evil forces from the ancient "Book Of The Dead", that will slowly turn them into "Deadites". As it turns out, the only way to defeat these walking creatures, is by dismembering them.
The Evil Dead had a bugdet of only $375,000, and yet, while it shows throughout, Raimi's creative energy compensates for any problems due to the lack of funds. Filled with fun, excitement, and gore-a-plenty, the film never lets up once it gets going. Sure, the acting is over the top, but that's part of the fun. I can't say enough about Campbell either. He is just great here.
The Evil Dead has had its share of reissues on DVD. The extras stay pretty much the same. The 2002 Anchor Bay Edition includes two commentary tracks. The first from Raimi and Producer Robert Tapert is fun, but as you might expect, these men end up being upstaged by star Bruce Campbell, and his funny recollections for the second audio commentary. I'm laughing as I type this--just thinking about it. There's 18 minutes worth of home movie style footage of behind the scenes and outtakes on the set. Theatrical trailers, TV spots, a poster and stills gallery, and talent bios round out the disc's bonus material. Replacing the liner notes written by Campbell for the '99 DVD, is the 24 page booklet featuring an interview with "The Ladies of Evil Dead", Betsy Baker, Ellen Sandweiss, and Sarah York.
Like Joe Dante's The Howling, and the more sophisticated Halloween, from John Carpenter, The Evil Dead proves that money doesn't really matter, in film, if you have imagination and sheer will to make it work. Recommended, along with its sequels, Evil Dead II and the topper Army Of Darkness
**** 1/2
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.
the ultimate horror movie!
This film is the ultimate horror movie. Great sneaky gore with a good storyline (unlike most horror movies) and not-so-bad acting or directing to be such a low budget film.
