Fun fact, first time I saw a clip of Evil Dead, it was still a few years before saw the rest of the movie. That clip being on the TV Nancy is watching to try and stay awake in A Nightmare on Elm Street. I will say, with the original Evil Dead Trilogy, I've often looked at it like this. The first one, flat out horror movie. The second one, horror comedy. Army of Darkness, flat out comedy. Interesting how that works out.
Before COVID, my boyfriend and I took a trip to New Orleans and I downloaded Evil Dead for the plane. I hadn't seen it in years and forgot how relentless it is, and the flight ended up being really turbulent. Between the movie and the turbulence, my heart was beating out of my chest 😆 Great review!!
One of my all time favourite Horror movies! What’s weird is I can literally watch this at any time, and over and over again, despite the brutality and the fact that it legitimately frightens me. It’s just so perfectly imperfect. A masterpiece from such a talented team of young filmmakers, if I could reach halfway to the level of greatness they did by the time I’m 20, I could die happy!
Not a movie i can watch regularly, but it's still a classic and one of the most groundbreaking horror films ever. What Raimi and company were able to accomplish on such a low budget is extraordinary! With passion and talent, you don't need a big budget... you find a way. One hell of a review, DD!
I love this franchise. Great review lee. I have been following Bruce Campbell talking about how they made this movie and it took real blood tears and sweat, brutal but rules were different times were different, makes me appreciate this franchise even more. The 2013 evil dead still holds up, it’s my most watched horror film I know like every single line, the ending chainsaw scene with raining blood is my shit. Ash vs evil dead is really good to. I hear army of darkness 2 might happen, but I’ve been hearing that for years lol, love love love your reviews, like how in depth you go and it’s great content and more people finding this franchise is just an awesome feeling. 🤘
Evil dead is just one of the best horror movies ever made. I think in 100 years we will still be talking about this masterpiece Is one of those movie where i cant avoid myself to watch it every dam year
Oh and I might add that the poster with the woman coming out of the ground wasn't the one in the video store, I have the 1983 release robbed from the video store (it wasn't me, it was my sister) and the original box art is the cool painting of the deadite with the tape recorder at the bottom.
A little while back, I had a job interview at a restaurant and the guy who went before me said he was from Morristown, Tennessee, which I immediately recognized as the town where the first Evil Dead was shot. I don't know if he realized he hailed from a town where one of horror's greatest was filmed.
Yessss!!!! My favorite franchise along nightmare on elm street!!!! Ash be evil dead is also my favorite show and the cast is so amazing!!!! You brightened my day, Lee. Thank you, I love you so much!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I have the exact same history with Evil Dead, although it was discovering Evil Dead 2 on VHS in 1992, then renting the first one a few weeks later. I didn't really consider myself a huge fan until I picked them up on DVD though many years later. Seeing a film for the first time widescreen....changes a man. lol. And no shame in us crawling through glass and molten lava to see a Halloween movie but also having mad love for other horror franchises.
Ok, I just learned the meaning of “polarizing”. I thought polarizing was a way to describe something you don’t like, but turns out that it’s when, for example a new horror movie comes out, it gets mixed reviews and some people love it, some people hate it. I used the word “polarizing” to describe Halloween (1978) and as much shit I give that movie, I can’t deny that it has a giant fanbase and it’s one of the most respected movies in the genre. I’m sorry, English isn’t my main language.
I love all the Evil Dead films. I watched the first 3 on VHS. The gore in those movies are absolutely magnificent. I try my best to view them twice a year if possible. Solid vid, bro.
Yep. I saw this with my mom and a friend of mine when it was released. Mom and I loved it. My friend, not so much, he couldn't sleep for a couple of days. Good times
Great review w/ some nice backstory too. I remember back when video rentals were the only way to see films like this. We'd rent ED for 5 days w/ the "suitcase" VCR my g/f & I & go to family & friends houses to show them this groundbreaking horror film.✌
Fantastic review. As an independent film making entity (as much as we’ve been able with the pandemic) this movie is the gold standard. This is what every indie horror outfit wishes they could do.
This movie is CLASSIC. Remake was very well done. The franchise is practical effects, maybe claymation. Almost my favorite franchise of horror. But I have 💯 favorite movies.
Here in MI, back when I was dabbling in local filmmaking with friends in the '90's and '00's, we all worshipped our hometown heroes Sam and Bruce! The Evil Dead is the kind of movie that only could've been made by a bunch of hungry 20-year olds...And I think the film wound up being WAY better than what was required of it, considering their youth and level of experience at the time. Imagine being Raimi at 20, and you've ALREADY directed a horror masterpiece like this! Bravo!
Has to be recognised as one of the classics. As it was initially banned in the UK, it just made us want to see it even more. I think it stands the test of time so well. Effects in the classic 80’s horror movies may look a little dated but for just outright scaring you they are still the best for me
awesome comments on video stores! as a kid, WAY before i got into horror, when i went to video store i always would go to the horror section and check out the back of the video boxes and freak myself out. nightmares lol.
I love this movie! I love the entire Evil Dead franchise! Great video man! I really wish Bruce Campbell would do just one more season of Ash Vs Evil Dead
First saw it as a double feature with the second film just before the 3rd was released. Was in the UK as like you said it wasn't available on VHS at that time
2 of Spades, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Clubs 💀 chills everytime i hear it(JOIN USSS) also funny you mentioned grateful dead cause im wearing a GD shirt rn 😂
I watched Evil Dead every day for about 10 years because it was the only VHS apart from First Blood, Amityville Horror and Class of 1984 that we owned when I was a kid.
@HECTOR MONTALVO in 1983 VHS tapeswere expensive, we were the only ones on the block that had a VHS player so all the kids used to come around and we would watch these classic time and time again:)
Over in the UK I remember it being banned, video store owners were prosecuted for renting it. Palace video that distributed it went bankrupt. My uncle got it from under the counter..
One of the most entertaining reviews I watched about this horror classic, truly awesome Lee. Oh yeah I remember the video nasty cull, any film depicting violence on the cover was immediately removed, even Halloween 2 for a time because the pumpkin carved skull was deemed as promoting violence, crazy times bro our UK dumb ass pompous politicians dictating what we can or can't watch which led to the BBFC. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist, Evil Dead, I Spit on Your Grave, Driller Killer, Zombie Flesh Eaters the list was endless. Thankfully common sense prevailed even if it took to the 2000 get these released uncut.
@DrumDums I just ordered me a funny Michael Myers shirt to wear to Halloween Kills when I go next Saturday hopefully, that has him holding his classic butcher knife and in blood red writing it says “Only a real man would chase after you.” I figured I’d let you know about that since your a big Myers fan and I thought you’d enjoy that.
Love these films and often revisit, the Evil Dead movies from time to time. They’re indeed dark and classic wise creepy.😂🖤🏚 If not, comical I also love Bruce Campbell!!!👏🏽💫💖 I could absolutely see how banned this film would back then, when it debuted. I was super young when this movie came out, I really also had no idea Sam Rami had to even, go to court due to the content. 😐Great review Lee love your commentary hun I personally can’t do the remake nor watched it fully I like the original too much!!!❤️✊🏽🎬 I absolutely like the blue ray packaging of the original BlueRay I’ll add that to my list of items to pick up. That camera zoom along with the sound effects and dark satanic music is certainly a really scary element to this movie. I absolutely agree Lee.☠️💀☠️
I always default to Evil Dead 2 tbh since it covers what we need to see of the first movie and its just overall a better movie and more enjoyable movie IMO
This movie is freaking awesome. It just has the feeling of a fun haunted house ride! I love it for how cheesy it is and how genuinely unnerving it is at times as well as gross. Great special effects!! I know there’s flaws to this movie but it is one of those movies that stands out because of the effects. Yes, the effects are dated but they’re still timeless in an odd way. The dated aspect makes it timeless! I love it so much! It’s just one of my passionately favorite horror movies ever!! I could talk about it forever and how it has a flamboyant tone that just really works for me! I don’t want to annoy anyone but I’m passionate about my love for this movie!
@DrumDums have you had a chance to check out that South Korean horror series Kingdom yet that I told you about in order to review it during the month of October? Just curious, I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet myself however, I definitely plan to during the month of October sometime.
I was that kid 🙋🏾♀️ watching this...the movie scared and scarred me for years lol. To me its the quintessential horror movie. I wasnt so disturbed by another horror movie until The Ring
I saw this film for the first time at a sleepover in 1985 ( yep, old gal here, lol). I had never seen any truly hardcore horror films before and I was COMPLETELY enthralled. From that point on, horror has been my absolute favorite genre.
@DrumDums I can’t wait for you to finish these up and review Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness as I assumed you would have by now but, apparently I was wrong. I watched Evil Dead 2 last night with my friend David and we both had a great time, if you want to just have a good fun horror comedy you can’t go wrong with evil dead 2 or Army of Darkness for that matter however, I think Evil Dead 2 is the better choice for my tastes however, much like Ash says once he gets his chainsaw arm this movie is “Groovy!”
@DrumDums how soon is that EDR2 review coming as I can’t wait to hear your thoughts since, someone I believe named Matt Casey on your Patreon requested them so, he got them so I kind of figured you would have finished these by now but, life must have gotten in the way and you weren’t able to review them as quickly as planned.
Hell yea brother. This movie is definitely a game changing movie. Sam Raimi did so much amazing work with such a low budget. This is what movie making is all about! The fact it was just a group of friends that got together in a cabin to make this movie and what it’s become is just nothing short of amazing. I seen this when I was 10 and it scared the shit out of me. Now I watch it and laugh at it but in a good way. I’m glad you mentioned the opening shot at the lake. Definitely one of my favorite things about the film is how Sam uses the camera as a force of evil and the way he maneuvers around everything is just a sight to behold. As much as I appreciate and adore this movie I can only watch it once in a great while. I prefer the reboot/sequel and of course Evil Dead 2 & Army of Darkness. I feel the reboot took what was great about the original and elevated it. Not a lot of people will ever say that. But I love it. Anyway love that dvd set I need to get my hands on that so cool. Great job on breaking this movie down man can’t wait to see what you do with the sequels. Next month Evil Dead 2...... GROOVY!!!!
You said it Lee;guerilla film making. First saw it after Part 2....had a friend,in the eighties,whose VHS collection would be considered EPIC! So....when I wasn't practicing drums,doing school work,or trying to figure out how to date a girl totally out of my league....I became accustomed to all those "video nasties".
This is one of my first ever horror movies I've seen since i was a little kid in the early 90s. Scared the living shit out of me to the point I loved it.
All things Evil Dead, my rankings : The Evil Dead (2013) The Evil Dead (1981) Ash vs The Evil Dead The Evil Dead 2 The Evil Dead : The Musical Army of Darkness I have a preference to the more straight horror entries as opposed to the ones that throw the slapstick in, but I can't say that I didn't really enjoy the TV show. But give me visceral horror first !
“We’re going to get you we’re going to get you not another peep time to go to sleep!!!!” Hell yeah total badarse classik indeed I really can’t say witch I like better between this or Evil Dead 2 both are equally good in their own way this is like a low budget DIY of The Exorcist taking place in the woods it is a terrifying movie for its time pushing boundaries and was revolutionary for what it achieved it succeeds in sending chills down your spine my favorite scene is that tree scene and when Linda get possessed and is messing with Ash and his friend as far as Demonic Possession themed movies as a whole my big 3 are The Exorcist, Evil Dead, and Amityville 2 The Possession also a shoutout to Beyond The Door an underrated Italian knockoff of The Exorcist and a good one recommended as for Evil Dead 2 what really made it special was its over the top Gore straight like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 funny how the sequel to both franchises end up balls out gory to a T and it adapted more so the humor in witch would be predominant in Army of Darkness I think my favorite moment easily is when the Deer head comes to life and starts cackling while everything in the cabin is violent shaking and Ash himself starts laughing and going crazy amazing moment.
Saw this one after part 2 when I was 10 when it was still banned here in the UK. Grade A gnarl-fest! Interesting that Raimi never credits the movie Equinox as an influence. Worth looking up.
@DrumDums when is that EDR2 review coming brother, I’ve been patiently waiting and you said it was coming soon so, I wasn’t sure if you recorded it yet or not and are getting it out to your RUclips channel soon or not.
@DrumDums Awesome! I know your a busy man so, you don’t always get things out as soon as you’d like. By the way, have you had a chance to check out any of that show Kingdom the South Korean zombie drama I told you about that might be fun to review for the Halloween season?
As a kid my mother would do the laugh the girl does in Evil Dead to scare the Shit out of my father and us lot. Classic. Might be one of very few horror movies my mum would watch that and Jaws from memory
i have all of the Evil Dead movies on 4k now and i'm a casual fan too lee and i prefer the remake more better than the original movies but that just me though bro in my opinions
@@DrumdumsOfficial I've seen an obscure Bruce Campbell clip where he goes into how it could be, but didn't explicitly say it is. I think it's been purposely kept speculative, as far as I know. Either way, they were breaking new ground!
Why your live-streams start at 3am? Do we have different time zones or do your streams really start at 3am? I can only watch them on Fridays or Saturdays, I still have a job in quarantine. I can’t stay up that late on any other days.
Fun fact, first time I saw a clip of Evil Dead, it was still a few years before saw the rest of the movie. That clip being on the TV Nancy is watching to try and stay awake in A Nightmare on Elm Street. I will say, with the original Evil Dead Trilogy, I've often looked at it like this.

Great review!!
I remember renting this on VHS thinking it was a horror comedy. It scared the hell out of me but it ended up being the movie that got me into horror.
Yeah the first one is so balls to the wall horror.
This horror classic will be 40 years old later in the year.
i guess Im kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Kamryn Everett I use FlixZone. Just google for it :)
It’s about time! I’ve been waiting for you to review this classic for years!!!!!
One of my all time favourite Horror movies! What’s weird is I can literally watch this at any time, and over and over again, despite the brutality and the fact that it legitimately frightens me. It’s just so perfectly imperfect. A masterpiece from such a talented team of young filmmakers, if I could reach halfway to the level of greatness they did by the time I’m 20, I could die happy!

The Club Silencio scene in Mulholland Drive uses that POV technique as well, Pete Deming shot both films
This trilogy NEVER gets old even loved the series
I was only 3 years old when this movie was released in 1981. I saw it when I was a teenager and I love it.
I love this franchise. Great review lee. I have been following Bruce Campbell talking about how they made this movie and it took real blood tears and sweat, brutal but rules were different times were different, makes me appreciate this franchise even more.

Is one of those movie where i cant avoid myself to watch it every dam year
Completely agree brother.

Best movie ever. Watched it for the millionth time literally hours before I saw you uploaded this. Serendipity.
Super awesome!!!☠️👏🏽🎬
I saw it for the 1st time a few years ago on Showtime. I fell in love with it. Now I try to watch it whenever I can during the Halloween season.
Fantastic review. As an independent film making entity (as much as we’ve been able with the pandemic) this movie is the gold standard. This is what every indie horror outfit wishes they could do.
Great review. I love this movie,absolutely a classic
This movie is CLASSIC. Remake was very well done. The franchise is practical effects, maybe claymation. Almost my favorite franchise of horror. But I have 💯 favorite movies.
Alright not claymation
So practical
Also that long shot running through the cabin in one shot is epic. This film is Gold

Incredible passion and vision from Sam Raimi into creating this absolute gem of a Horror Film !!!
I love this movie! I love the entire Evil Dead franchise! Great video man! I really wish Bruce Campbell would do just one more season of Ash Vs Evil Dead
Great review
I’m 47 years old and this movie still gets me
Raimi really captured the moment
Thanks Eric!
First saw it as a double feature with the second film just before the 3rd was released. Was in the UK as like you said it wasn't available on VHS at that time
Evil dead remake was awesome and deserves a sequel
2 of Spades, Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Clubs 💀 chills everytime i hear it(JOIN USSS)
also funny you mentioned grateful dead cause im wearing a GD shirt rn 😂
Damn... it never even occurred to me that you had never reviewed The Evil Dead.
I watched Evil Dead every day for about 10 years because it was the only VHS apart from First Blood, Amityville Horror and Class of 1984 that we owned when I was a kid.
@HECTOR MONTALVO in 1983 VHS tapeswere expensive, we were the only ones on the block that had a VHS player so all the kids used to come around and we would watch these classic time and time again:)
Awesome review! The Evil dead movies are one of my favorite franchises! Because all 4 movies are very good! Not many other franchises can say that
"One by one, we will take you"
Oh sweet my taco bell order will so arrive
Good insight. Original Movies like evil dead and texas chainsaw get creepier with age. Imagine someone watching These 2 films in the year 3000
I will be upgrading to the blu ray very soon for this awesome classic.
Thank you for another awesome video 😎😎😎😎😎
Over in the UK I remember it being banned, video store owners were prosecuted for renting it. Palace video that distributed it went bankrupt. My uncle got it from under the counter..
Evil dead is a very consistent franchise. I like all of the movies, the remake is my favorite
One of the most entertaining reviews I watched about this horror classic, truly awesome Lee.
Oh yeah I remember the video nasty cull, any film depicting violence on the cover was immediately removed, even Halloween 2 for a time because the pumpkin carved skull was deemed as promoting violence, crazy times bro our UK dumb ass pompous politicians dictating what we can or can't watch which led to the BBFC.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist, Evil Dead, I Spit on Your Grave, Driller Killer, Zombie Flesh Eaters the list was endless.
Thankfully common sense prevailed even if it took to the 2000 get these released uncut.
@DrumDums I just ordered me a funny Michael Myers shirt to wear to Halloween Kills when I go next Saturday hopefully, that has him holding his classic butcher knife and in blood red writing it says “Only a real man would chase after you.”

I love the Evil Dead franchise and the TV series. This is a great video
Great review and one of my fav horror franchises
Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula is extremely good and a masterpiece
I always default to Evil Dead 2 tbh since it covers what we need to see of the first movie and its just overall a better movie and more enjoyable movie IMO
Yes!! One of my favorites
Yes!!! A timeless classic, 👏🏽😃🖤
The Evil Dead original is my favourite film of all time
This one is my favorite in the franchise. Great movie!
Same its my favourite too
Evil Dead is a Classic Bruce Campbell 1st movie and Sam Raimi 1st Directing Debut he was 20 year's Amazing and it turns 40 year's old on October 15th
As a kid if my dad wanted to scare the shit out of me, it was this, Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Howling.
I’m planning on watching the whole howling franchise. Would you recommend it?
If you look at sharls hand when she drawls the book it possessed her vains are black. Super cool
Just picked up both 1 & 2 on blu ray last week !
This movie is freaking awesome. It just has the feeling of a fun haunted house ride! I love it for how cheesy it is and how genuinely unnerving it is at times as well as gross. Great special effects!! I know there’s flaws to this movie but it is one of those movies that stands out because of the effects. Yes, the effects are dated but they’re still timeless in an odd way.

Hell yeah.
The Evil Dead kicked off a franchise and is still going strong
@DrumDums have you had a chance to check out that South Korean horror series Kingdom yet that I told you about in order to review it during the month of October? Just curious, I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet myself however, I definitely plan to during the month of October sometime.
No not yet Jordan. This month has been crazy.

cope, cause in that genre 1 out of 10 movies are decent to good
Evil Dead kicks ass
Evil dead is great horror even made :)
Love your reviews, brother.
@DrumDums I can’t wait for you to finish these up and review Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness as I assumed you would have by now but, apparently I was wrong.

The Evil Dead series kicks ass
Evil Dead one of my all time favorites. i have it high on my list.
Ugh I just remembered how digusting Evil Dead is.
You said it Lee;guerilla film making. First saw it after Part 2....had a friend,in the eighties,whose VHS collection would be considered EPIC! So....when I wasn't practicing drums,doing school work,or trying to figure out how to date a girl totally out of my league....I became accustomed to all those "video nasties".
This is one of my first ever horror movies I've seen since i was a little kid in the early 90s. Scared the living shit out of me to the point I loved it.
It's 100% pure horror through and through.
Great review lee makes me want to watch Evil dead
Thanks brother!
All things Evil Dead, my rankings :
The Evil Dead (2013)
The Evil Dead (1981)
Ash vs The Evil Dead
The Evil Dead 2
The Evil Dead : The Musical
Army of Darkness
I have a preference to the more straight horror entries as opposed to the ones that throw the slapstick in, but I can't say that I didn't really enjoy the TV show. But give me visceral horror first !
“We’re going to get you we’re going to get you not another peep time to go to sleep!!!!” Hell yeah total badarse classik indeed I really can’t say witch I like better between this or Evil Dead 2 both are equally good in their own way this is like a low budget DIY of The Exorcist taking place in the woods it is a terrifying movie for its time pushing boundaries and was revolutionary for what it achieved it succeeds in sending chills down your spine my favorite scene is that tree scene and when Linda get possessed and is messing with Ash and his friend as far as Demonic Possession themed movies as a whole my big 3 are The Exorcist, Evil Dead, and Amityville 2 The Possession also a shoutout to Beyond The Door an underrated Italian knockoff of The Exorcist and a good one recommended as for Evil Dead 2 what really made it special was its over the top Gore straight like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 funny how the sequel to both franchises end up balls out gory to a T and it adapted more so the humor in witch would be predominant in Army of Darkness I think my favorite moment easily is when the Deer head comes to life and starts cackling while everything in the cabin is violent shaking and Ash himself starts laughing and going crazy amazing moment.
Love this movie series and really enjoyed the reboot! Pucci's character gets the brunt of it lol! Can't wait for the next vids! cheers
@DrumDums when is that EDR2 review coming? I know you told me it was coming soon but, I was just curious how soon.
Peter Travers said that the original is so gruesome that it couldn’t get an R-Rating
Great 👍 choice thanks bro annnnndddd great commentary
Nice review. I added Jordan Stewart on Letterbox, are you on it?
Yes sir! @drumdums.
Love this movie
My favourite movie of all time
Saw this one after part 2 when I was 10 when it was still banned here in the UK. Grade A gnarl-fest!
Interesting that Raimi never credits the movie Equinox as an influence. Worth looking up.
I appreciate the OG Evil Dead, but I prefer the sequels and the remake over the original. The TV show was pretty good also 👍
I have evil dead on steelbook on bul ray or 4k.
@DrumDums when is that EDR2 review coming brother, I’ve been patiently waiting and you said it was coming soon so, I wasn’t sure if you recorded it yet or not and are getting it out to your RUclips channel soon or not.
Should be next month Jordan.
@DrumDums Awesome! I know your a busy man so, you don’t always get things out as soon as you’d like.
By the way, have you had a chance to check out any of that show Kingdom the South Korean zombie drama I told you about that might be fun to review for the Halloween season?
I never knew that this movie was part of the videos nasties
Yes it was. 😉
@@dbdeets But it’s a masterpiece video nasty
@@rolandocastro9425 No argument there.
Army of dawn is my favorite evil dead movie
He has so many great lines in that one brother.
Excellent classic 👏
My favourite movie ever
As a kid my mother would do the laugh the girl does in Evil Dead to scare the Shit out of my father and us lot. Classic. Might be one of very few horror movies my mum would watch that and Jaws from memory
Bruce Campbell injured himself on the set of the movie
i have all of the Evil Dead movies on 4k now and i'm a casual fan too lee and i prefer the remake more better than the original movies but that just me though bro in my opinions
It's amazing what this group accomplished on such a small budget; especially seeing the multi-million lazy work Hollywood is putting out today.
U gotta do the sequel this movie is one of 2movies to scare me along with sleep away camp still can't watch that ending
Wow amazing I just watched this not too long ago great movie
This movie is so good and it is an important movie in horror. Thanks for this so much Lee:)
You’re welcome Gabe!
Timeless classic
I always felt like Evil Dead 2 is a remake, not a sequel. Evil Dead is the Demo, 2 is the Album.
This has been a debate for the longest time with no clear answer. There is a brief "re-shot" recap at the beginning of ED2.
@@DrumdumsOfficial I've seen an obscure Bruce Campbell clip where he goes into how it could be, but didn't explicitly say it is. I think it's been purposely kept speculative, as far as I know. Either way, they were breaking new ground!
Why your live-streams start at 3am? Do we have different time zones or do your streams really start at 3am? I can only watch them on Fridays or Saturdays, I still have a job in quarantine. I can’t stay up that late on any other days.
8 PM EST.
Evil Dead, or as I like to call it Slasher Victims Summon Eldritch Terror.
Love the review Sir
Thank you!
All of the evil dead movies are awesome. Even my least favorite is still a 4/5 movie.
Stephen King praised The Evil Dead when it was first released
