i stand by my review from 2 1/2 years ago that the tree rape scene is totally unnecessary and detracts from this near-perfect horror staple. for the sake of my sanity i will not be reading the 78 comments that it somehow garnered, thanks! :)
The ultimate Cabin in the woods. A headstrong manic descent into low budget demon crazy. A game changer for sure, a genre monolith, and beyond influential. A couple years ago my 70 something year old Dad came up to me and said “hey, there’s this tv show coming out called Ash vs. Evil Dead, it’s based on that movie I’m pretty sure you love, we should watch it”
Oh, we watched it, and we loved it too. And tonight I finally sat down with my old man and we watched The Evil Dead together. We had a blast. 13 year old me would never believe that 33 year old me would ever watch this with my dad... AND that he would love…
release a cut with the totally unnecessary tree rape scene edited out & then we'll talk about giving it the 4+ stars it actually deserves
My original thoughts on "The Evil Dead" were lukewarm at best when I first viewed it about a year ago for the Halloween season. Most of my major problems stemmed from the simple fact I didn't find it scary and found some of it to be fairly dated.
Revisiting it, those two issues are still there, yet what has changed is my prospective entering it. See, when I first watched it, I was expecting to be scared out of my mind to the point where I wouldn't be able to sleep at night due to how many have claimed it of doing that especially in comparison to it's two sequels that came after it.
With that mind set, I kept…
Not as gripping as the first time I watched it, but still stupendous based on its very low budget.
Almost all of the acting and dialogue feels amateur, but does bring the film together in a sense.
The cinematography is fabulous and Sam Raimi's dedication to the making of the film is admirable. Also love the gore and special effects.
i was already a sucker for 80s slasher, but the fact that this movie has superb camera work and practical gore on basically no budget.... just wow.
So that’s what NC-17 horror is? I’d say it could use some more blood and gore.
Possibly the most terrifying film I’ve ever seen. I was concerned that it would be simply another 80s teen horror movie much like Friday the 13th, however The Evil Dead was much more than that. The special effects were somewhat silly yet effective, the sound design was really well done, and the gore was nearly perfect.
Also: Tree rape scene.
