"I know now that my wife has become host to a Candarian demon. I fear that the only way to stop those possessed by the spirits of the book is through the act of... bodily dismemberment."

For the ultimate paradigmatic definition of a cult classic horror movie, one should simply behold the unforgettable ultra-low-budget Sam Raimi flick The Evil Dead. Back in 1979, Raimi and a cheery g... read more

Great movie on a low budget. All three Evil Dead movies are a good example of what you can do with a great director like Raimi and acting talent like Bruce Campbell.

Horror films I've seen. (83 movies items)

"You know what? That was disappointing. Is alright, the practical effects are magic, but the plot... I mean. Kinda weak. Character wise too. A bit dull sometimes. Frankly, I was kind of bored."

" A group of friends, go on a trip, to a far remote cabin in the woods, unfortunately after reading from a cursed book, the dead come to life, and all Hell breaks lose! The Evil Dead, was one of the first films to be labeled as a "Video Nasty" in the UK, and was banned because of this, and according to Stephen King, it was “One of the furiously terrifying original horror movies, of the year.” It’s also notoriously known, as one of the most brutal and bloodiest horror films, ever. Becaus"

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: It’s a bonkers, gruesome, gore fest of a movie, and never lets up. The atmosphere of the woods. The effects work, especially of the Deadites. Bruce Campbell, as Ash. Sam Raimi, at the start of his his career. The film, was made literary on a dime, but is still effective. Con: The tree scene, enough said."

"24.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Ties kuinka monen katselun jälkeenkin harrastuksen alkupään oleellisimpia kulmakiviä on erittäin vaikuttava. Innostava ja innovatiivinen kamerankäyttö ja vastaavat erikoistehosteet sekä tarinan tiiveys ovat omiaan luomaan intensiivisen painajaismaisen tunnelman, jota on vaikea paeta, eikä sitä edes tahtoisi. Ei piileviä teemoja tai kysymyksiä, mutta eräänlainen tutkielma, kuinka vaikuttaa katsojaan nimenomaan ilman näitä vain hurjalla vyöryllä ja"
