What a debut from Sam Raimi. I was blown away the first time I saw this as a kid and it traumatized the hell out of me. A horror masterpiece. Also, the first one is a dark, brutal and gruesome movie. "Evil Dead II" (1987) is a mixture of horror and humor. "Army of Darkness" (1992) is a fun mixture of horror, comedy, action and fantasy movies. The entire "Evil Dead Trilogy" is one of the best movie trilogies out there and I can't wait for you guys to react to the entire trilogy.
Mine too. Best B horror movie series out there IMHO. Loved the 3 season series they cam out with a couple of years ago. With out this movie franchise there are a lot of movies and TV series that would never have been made. Love the reactions. Priceless!!
One Hundred Percent!! This movie was an absolute masterpiece of film and horror when it came out. I was a kid getting psyched out by this the first time along with an older brother, and it only outdid itself with Raimi in the sequel, which only highlighted Bruce Campbell's status as "King" and the chosen one of the prophecy.
This movie is proof that sheer ingenuity when it comes to filmmaking is second to none in making a great movie. Even the final shot is a camera on a bike pedaling towards Bruce Campbell with a sound effect laid over it in post production and it really feels like a monster roaring through the woods.
Hopefully you watch Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness and the show Ash vs. Evil Dead as well. While the first movie is just horror, the rest increasingly have more comedy mixed in with the horror.
@@johnglue1744if you're talking about "Evil Dead Rises" then it's an okay horror movie, it seems like the tie in was done for profit... there is no humour. Even this film was full of humour. The remake is surprisingly quite good, though.
Good decision to start with the First Evil Dead as long as you will continue with Evil Dead II (1987), Army of Darkness (1992) and the Ash vs. Evil Dead series (2015-2018)
@@christinaflagiello3930Yeah, the series was awesome! It's too bad Starz cancelled it after the third season. It was a crappy combination of not enough promotion, too many people pirating it instead of watching it for the ratings and internal infighting with the two main creators of the show with one of them leaving after the second season. Apparently, one of the creatives wanted a more serious tone while the other one wanted a more of a comedic tone and Bruce Campbell and the rest of the cast and crew being caught the middle. It's such a damn shame it went down the way it did, but at least we got the three incredible seasons and I'm just grateful for that.
I love this movie! I got to meet Bruce Campbell! at a comic convention. He's literally the guy you're watching on screen! Funny, charming, down-to-Earth...funny and friendly! HUGE, HUGE FREAKING HANDS..lol like what omg dude why are your hands so massive..
We had a neighborhood movie theater back then where kids went to hang out and socialize. We knew the film was low-budget, but we couldn't get enough. There we're screams, shrieks and tons of laughter. Awe, good times ❤
You guys can’t do Halloween binge this year without Guillermo del Toro’s “The Otphanage.” It’s Spanish with English subtitles. Worth every second of thrill.
Army of Darkness is actually the third movie but a direct sequel to this movie. The third movie is a lighter comedic sequel. Bruce Campbell is funny as hell as Ash in that. Bruce Campbell was in all three of the original Spider-Man trilogy movies. Playing three different characters in each in small supporting roles. He was also in Dr.Strange II at least in the end as Ash too. He plays a hot dog vendor in NYC near Dr.Strange's HQs.
This is my favourite horror movie. The effects, the sound design, the camera work, and Baby Bruce. Linda's iconic "We're gonna get you.." is on par with Nightmare on Elm Street's "1, 2, Freddy's coming for you..". The fact this was basically a low-budget student film is astonishing, considering its execution and cultural impact on the film industry, creating the whole "cabin in the woods" horror genre. FYI, Part 2 has a 10 minute recap of part 1 as the opening, but due to Sam Raimi not having rights to footage from the 1st film, they had to reshoot, recast, and simplify the storyline so people who hadn't seen it could catch up. So that will assuage your confusion. I make sense of it by thinking of it as Ash having a nightmare about the events of the first film (up until he wakes up in part 2 in the chair), and dreams are often not a faithful retelling of events. The fact that Ash's mind is also greatly impacted makes him a semi-unreliable narrator, so that works too. Ash is one of the best final girls ever. Imagine having to kill your best friend, sister, and girlfriend? His character development throughout the franchise is iconic.
This movie was actually filmed in Morristown, Tennessee. I live in Northwest TN, so it's quite a drive from me. A little over 6 hours. Bruce Campbell was asked about how he felt about fans saying they wanted to go to the location where it was filmed and see the cabin (which is still there). He said, "I told them those people dont play in Tennessee and you dont need to be trespassing on anyone's land. They actually own guns there." LOL Great reaction. This is one of my all time favorite movies.
Same here, my sister introduced me to this move the day the VCR came out somewhere in '85. It also traumatized me just as much. Seems like 10 lifetimes ago.
One of the absolute eeriest moments for me is the ending credits. They start off with that upbeat music which after about twenty seconds or so slows down and stops, then the rest of the credits are in complete silence.
Saw this as a kid, on a rainy night. It scared the bejesus out of me. Evil Dead is so creative and it was made with so much dedication (and a really small budget). Evil Dead 2 is equally brilliant, fun and scary.
More Bruce please. Must watch the Evil Dead follow up, Army of Darkness! Whole different vibe. So funny. Asia wouldn't even need her blanky. Bubba Hotep, another Bruce GREAT!!!!!!
14 years old. Watched the movie at a mate's place who lived in another town. 03:00 have to go home. Circa 2 hours with the bike. Darkness. Mist. Where's the moon when you need it !? Through a bloody forest. Scared shitless. Happy times ! (and don't forget to watch Evil Dead 3, the Army of Darkness. The best fantasy/comedy of all time :)
Thank you so much for making my day! It's a tough week, but you guys had me laughing harder than I have in a long time. She has a hash tag on her head. She's throwing up milk of magnesia. Just two of many gems. Love how Asia can be cringing while BJ is yucking it up. The next movies are rather different, but have memorable moments as well! ❤️
So glad you reacted to this film, one of the best , I remember first watching this when I was a very young single mother , I hired it from my local video shop a tiny place that had loads of unique films as the owner collected them , I terrified myself for a whole month . The second one is my favourite it is literally none stop and totally exhausting.
Thanks Asia & BJ I've been forgetting to tell you guys how super cool the Asia and BJ happy Halloween graphics are. Oh boy. 👍 Asia called this one right in the very beginning of the movie when she said she had a feeling that none of these people are going to make it out alive! 🫣
This is my brother’s favorite horror movie (one of mine) We went to the theater to see it for its 40th anniversary lol We still recite the playing card scene 🤣
Okay we NEED to see you work your way through all of these. Including the series, the remake and the recent reboot. There hasn’t been a bad Evil Dead project yet since 1981. All awesome.
Yes!!! I'm so glad yall are watching this series. Probably my favorite series of all time. The second one is even better. Let's gooooo!! Evil Dead Evil Dead II Army of Darkness (Evil Dead III) Ash vs. Evil Dead (Series)
I saw this as a kid it's what made me fall in love with the genre and also being from tn where it was partially filmed. The sound design really stuck with me, all those crunchy cracking moaning spooky noises scared me so much lol. Love yalls reactions 💙
All those tropes about horror films...this is one of those films that helped establish them. Imagine never seeing the tropes before and then watching this
Bruce Campbell (Ash) and Sam Raimi (he did original Spider-Man trilogy) wrote, filmed, produced, edited, and did special (practical) effects, with almost no money; and they were in their early 20s. Not too bad. Love this Cult classic.
Love at the end of the movie how you were telling what you are supposed to do in a Horror movie and how everyone does the opposite.. You’d love Zombie Land they recite cute rules on how to survive a Zombie attack!!😂
I remember seeing this with my mom for the first time when I was around 6. She wanted to see it in theaters, but she didn’t get the chance to. She waited until it came out on VHS and it scared the hell out of me. But it paved the way for my love of horror movies. Love the whole series of Evil Dead. Great reaction ❤❤
OMG! Hell yeah, I love this reaction. You’ve got to watch Evil Dead 2, then Army of Darkness. More Ash! There’s a show and 2 other movies that came way later. But the original 3 were the best. The 2nd one is by far the best. Thanks for this. Y’all rock.
An all time great, I remember seeing this as a little kid in the 80s!!!! Our parents had us watching all the greats. They were in their 20s and loved them as much as us. The pencil stabbing still hurts me to thie day. One of my favorite endings ever. I'm watching it with my Rosie right now as I type this. Evil Dead 2 is also a good one.
Released in 1981, The Evil Dead was one of the first films deemed a 'Video Nasty’ and was subsequently banned between 1983-1990. The sequels are more comedy horror but still really great and have many classic lines and scenes.
My wife and I saw the musical The Evil Dead at a local Cleveland theater about 15 years ago. When I called the ticket office to purchase tickets, the lady asked me if we wanted to be IN or OUT OF the splatter zone. Good show!
I've read Bruce Campbell's autobiography: 'If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor' where he talks in depths about his experiences working with Sam Raimi. They were still students when they began to make films. It's an entertaining read. They had a miserable experience filming Evil Dead. They decided to make it in Tennessee because they thought it would be warmer than Michigan. It turns out Tennessee happened to have a very cold winter that year. There was just a tremendous will behind the scenes to finish this film and get it into theatres.
The "heavy" car is a '73 Delta 88 that has appeared in virtually every Raimi movie ever made...even the western "The Quick And The Dead" where a covered wagon was built over it's chassis. It was in all Evil Dead movies, Raimi's three Spiderman movies (uncle Ben's car), Darkman,...all the way up to the latest Doctor Strange movie.
Sumer (where the Sumerians come from) was in the Middle East, in what is now Iraq. It is one of the first human civilizations, one of the first that could write. The guy who owned the cabin was a researcher who brought the book (and the demons) to Tennessee.
You're in for a treat when you get to Evil Dead 2 and its direct sequel Army of Darkness. Evil Dead 2 isn't really a sequel but rather more of a Re-Imagining of the 1st Evil Dead. Evil Dead 2 is in my Top 5 favorite Horror movies.
Love y'alls reaction to this one! It's the hardest to get through of this franchise of movies. They get goofier the more of them you watch and are cult classics. 😄 Love you two too! 🥰
Sam Raimi liked putting his friends in movies, often cameos. Spiderman had Bruce (who was also in his Hercules/ Xena series as king of thieves), Ted (his brother who was also the old lady in the cellar, also played Joxor from Hercules/Xena, and cameoed in Spiderman), Lucy Lawless played Xena also cameoed in Spiderman as the punk rock girl interviewed "A Spiderman, imagine all those arms around you". By the way, they made "The Evil Dead... The Musical".
"Within the Woods" is the short film that inspired this take on the series. Its a rare film which I proudly own on dvd, but if you are interested its free to stream here on RUclips. The film itself is a reimagining of the 1970 film, Equinox. The film was directed by Jack Woods, and starring Edward Connell, Barbara Hewitt, Frank Bonner and Robin Christopher. Though uncredited, producer Dennis Muren also served as a second director. The film focuses on four young people picnicking in a California canyon, where they stumble upon an ancient book used to conjure demons; soon they unleash a plethora of evil creatures which doesn't has the darkness of Raimi's Evil Dead films you can totally see the inspiration from the Book of the Dead, the stop motion, the demon creatures of the woods, and more!!
Duuuuudddeee,.I love this movie, so excited to see y'all's reactions. I hope y'all get a chance to watch the assembly cut of alien 3 soon. Also you guys have got to check out The Whole Nine yards. I just watched y'alls sixth Sense and I've already watched the die-hard reactions so if y'all like Bruce Willis as much as I think you do y'all got to check it out I think it'll be worth your time. Also y'all definitely have to check out and gone fishing with Joe Pesci and Danny Glover
In case you didn't know, the Raimi's were friends with Bruce so when Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (Joxer the Mighty, a recurring character, played by Ted Raimi) and Xena came along, they found a recurring role for Bruce. He's also had cameos in all of the Marvel movies where one of the Raimi's was director (Spiderman, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness...). He had a supporting role in the USA network series, "Burn Notice".
Hope you watch them all. Evil dead 2 is one of my favourite movies of all time
the "A Farewell To Arms" gag gets me everytime.
Special affects better in sequels as budgets got bigger. Still 1 and 2 the best.
"Who's laughing now?!!!
Hope nonsense
What a debut from Sam Raimi. I was blown away the first time I saw this as a kid and it traumatized the hell out of me. A horror masterpiece.
Also, the first one is a dark, brutal and gruesome movie. "Evil Dead II" (1987) is a mixture of horror and humor.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Love these!
Hell yeah! The original Evil Dead is one of all all-time favorite horror movies. It's the movie that launched Sam Raimi's career.
Totally. This is WHY he got freaking Spider-Man!
And why Bruce Campbell was in his Spiderman movies
Mine too. Best B horror movie series out there IMHO. Loved the 3 season series they cam out with a couple of years ago. With out this movie franchise there are a lot of movies and TV series that would never have been made. Love the reactions. Priceless!!
You guys should post a compilation video of Asia covering her eyes, I could watch that all day!
One Hundred Percent!! This movie was an absolute masterpiece of film and horror when it came out. I was a kid getting psyched out by this the first time along with an older brother, and it only outdid itself with Raimi in the sequel, which only highlighted Bruce Campbell's status as "King" and the chosen one of the prophecy.
My favorite horror franchise, the original Evil Dead, so fun and its so iconic. Bruce Campbell is a national treasure
Agreed
Now you two MUST WATCH The Evil Dead 2.
It's awesome!!!
Kudos, Asia and BJ!

It's a distinction well-worth mentioning, given the injuries he gave Bruce with that one!

Hopefully you watch Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness and the show Ash vs. Evil Dead as well. While the first movie is just horror, the rest increasingly have more comedy mixed in with the horror.
What about the newest one?
Both the new ones are pure horror with a double helping of gore. I recommend them. Very interested to see where they take the story next.
Definitely

Don't forget Evil Dead the remake!
Army of Darkness is my fav.
Run, don't look back. Remember these words when watching this film.
Asia, your facial expressions are priceless, along with your security blanket. They are a constant during horror movies.😂😊
Love The Evil Dead Franchise!

This franchise is my absolute favorite. You are in for a ride!!!!!!!! YOU MUST WATCH ALL 5 films.
We had a neighborhood movie theater back then where kids went to hang out and socialize. We knew the film was low-budget, but we couldn't get enough. There we're screams, shrieks and tons of laughter.
Awe, good times ❤
there's gonna be a lot of blanket hiding and finger peaking in this one. lol
Sami Rami used that same Evil Dead Oldsmobile in his 2002 Spiderman film ( u watched few weeks ago), it was Uncle Bens car .
Ash Williams....The Legend.
Give me some sugar baby.
Not much of a legend in this one. Took losing an arm to make a badass out of him.
These are some amazing movies. Takes me back to my teens.
You guys can’t do Halloween binge this year without Guillermo del Toro’s “The Otphanage.” It’s Spanish with English subtitles. Worth every second of thrill.

What? Army of Darkness is a direct sequel to Evil Dead 2.
You definitely need to see the next two. Part 2 adds in a bunch of humor, and part 3 is fully on comedy. They're loads of fun!

so here for this classic! Absolutely thrilled ya'll are watching this one!
Cult Classic horror film, wished they kept doing more practical effects like this! You gotta check Ash vs. Evil Dead! It’s a dope series!!
It always fascinated me. This cabin when they approached it in the beginning look like a storage shed but while inside they made it seem much larger
My sister introduced me to this movie when I was 9 lol it will always be one of my favorite horror movies.
Same here, my sister introduced me to this move the day the VCR came out somewhere in '85.
It also traumatized me just as much. Seems like 10 lifetimes ago.
You gotta watch the next in the series! Bruce Campbell is brilliant and so funny!
Asia: That's not funny.
BJ: Look, look, look, look...!
One of the absolute eeriest moments for me is the ending credits. They start off with that upbeat music which after about twenty seconds or so slows down and stops, then the rest of the credits are in complete silence.

Between this & Dead By Dawn, the sequel which is basically the same movie but with a bigger budget & is goofy funny, this is my favourite.
My friend's and I rented the hell out this film from the local VHS rental stores.
This is going to be freakin sweet! Army of Darkness is my favorite 🤘

This is my brother’s favorite horror movie (one of mine) We went to the theater to see it for its 40th anniversary lol
We still recite the playing card scene 🤣
The perfect mix of silly and legit scary. And the looks on your faces during this one show how much of a classic this is.

All of these movies are excellent. Please watch them all. Also, please consider watching the series Ash Vs. The Evil Dead. Only 3 seasons.
My son loved these movies back then (as did I)..he named my grandson Ash in 98
Such an amazing classic. I love the stories (and interviews) of what the crew had to go through on this movie. It was a tough shoot.
Love at the end of the movie how you were telling what you are supposed to do in a Horror movie and how everyone does the opposite..
You’d love Zombie Land they recite cute rules on how to survive a Zombie attack!!😂
Love the whole Evil Dead universe. Evil Dead 2 was my all time favorite movie for a long time.

You can use the blanket covering Asia’s face as a marker to stop skipping forward to find the scary parts in horror movies! 😌
nah hollup.. that intro was cinematic af lol
This movie is crazy, funny and a horror movie all at the same time
They may have said they crossed the border of Tennessee, but this was actually filmed right next door here in East Lansing Michigan.
Love your reactions but especially love Spooky Season and the scary movie ones. Thanks for going through that for us!
I agree with Nakanokalronin, now you have to watch part 2 and then army of darkness, and finally the series they are all fantastic.
The best time I ever had watching Evil Dead! Its like the first time again. You guys do Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness next.
Sam Raimi liked putting his friends in movies, often cameos. Spiderman had Bruce (who was also in his Hercules/ Xena series as king of thieves), Ted (his brother who was also the old lady in the cellar, also played Joxor from Hercules/Xena, and cameoed in Spiderman), Lucy Lawless played Xena also cameoed in Spiderman as the punk rock girl interviewed "A Spiderman, imagine all those arms around you". By the way, they made "The Evil Dead... The Musical".
"Within the Woods" is the short film that inspired this take on the series. Its a rare film which I proudly own on dvd, but if you are interested its free to stream here on RUclips.
The film itself is a reimagining of the 1970 film, Equinox. The film was directed by Jack Woods, and starring Edward Connell, Barbara Hewitt, Frank Bonner and Robin Christopher. Though uncredited, producer Dennis Muren also served as a second director. The film focuses on four young people picnicking in a California canyon, where they stumble upon an ancient book used to conjure demons; soon they unleash a plethora of evil creatures which doesn't has the darkness of Raimi's Evil Dead films you can totally see the inspiration from the Book of the Dead, the stop motion, the demon creatures of the woods, and more!!
Duuuuudddeee,.I love this movie, so excited to see y'all's reactions. I hope y'all get a chance to watch the assembly cut of alien 3 soon. Also you guys have got to check out The Whole Nine yards. I just watched y'alls sixth Sense and I've already watched the die-hard reactions so if y'all like Bruce Willis as much as I think you do y'all got to check it out I think it'll be worth your time. Also y'all definitely have to check out and gone fishing with Joe Pesci and Danny Glover
In case you didn't know, the Raimi's were friends with Bruce so when Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (Joxer the Mighty, a recurring character, played by Ted Raimi) and Xena came along, they found a recurring role for Bruce.
He's also had cameos in all of the Marvel movies where one of the Raimi's was director (Spiderman, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness...).
He had a supporting role in the USA network series, "Burn Notice".
This was a college project Bruce Campbell did for his friend. It became a cult classic. Glad you enjoyed watching it.
Bruce Campbell said in an interview, that the scene in the second movie similar to this one's ending is infact where things pick back up.
