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
Five friends go up to a cabin in the woods, where they find unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. They find a tome called the "Naturan Demanto", Book of the Dead, and the taped translation of the text. Once the tape is played, the evil is released. One by one, the teens are possessed. With only one remaining, it is up to him to survive the night and battle the evil dead.
If you haven't seen this film and you'd read that synopsis, you probably wouldn't think it is one of the greatest entries in the horror genre ever made. You'd probably rank it among the avalanche of other horror films released in the early eighties. The fact that it…
turns out the devil is made out of corn starch and bugs! the more you know, huh?
Pretty entertaining and way more gruesome than I expected. It doesn't waste too much time getting the plot going, which I appreciated. Pretty campy and over-the-top but in a self-aware way. This just isn't my go-to type of horror, which isn't why I didn't rate it as high as most would, though I am very excited to watch the sequel.
Evil Dead 2 is basically a reboot, there's so much difference between The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 it's crazy. But still this has that Sam Raimi feel, especially with the ending, that I just adore. Gotta be one of my favorite trilogies
Pretty fun in how ridiculous it was...Sam Raimi has quite the mind...I need to see the second still which (I've heard) is markedly better...
alright buckle up. evil dead has been probably my most favorite horror movie since i was 8 years old. this baby’s got it all. blood. gore. ash williams. spooky stuff. possessed trees. ASH WILLIAMS. demons. did i mention ashley j williams???
sam raimi is a fucking god and i will forever worship him. anyways. in the words of my sweet sweet boy, “groovy.”
