The first in the genre evolving trilogy featuring B-master Bruce Campbell. It is a classic, and for good reason. The story is simple; a cabin in the woods, teens, and evil spirits invading their bodies (blood and guts follow). Sam Raimi, the man behind the script and camera, started his film career with The Evil Dead and his work is impeccable. Impeccable for a cheesy horror movie made in the 80s that is. But while the acting is generally awful, save for Bruce Campbell's Ash, and the effects are cheap, the filming showcases the work of a future master. See The Evil Dead for its cult status, for the fun you'll have watching it, and, of course, for Campbell. It wont disappoint. Many modern horror movies owe their existence to The Evil Dead, but few live up to it.Genre - Horror (3.5)
