Director Sam Raimi's first film has achieved legendary status since its 1982 release, and for good reason. Though perhaps not as widely seen as its two sequels, EVIL DEAD 2 and ARMY OF DARKNESS, THE EVIL DEAD is arguably the best of the three. It is the story of five college-age friends who travel to a cabin in rural Tennessee where the stumble upon the Book of the Dead, an ancient tome bound in human flesh and inked in blood. After unwittingly awakening the unspeakable terror told of in the book, each of the friends is transformed into the evil dead, one by one, except for Ash (Bruce Campbell). So, Ash is left with no other way to survive than to dismember the living corpses of his sister, girlfriend, and two of his friends. Shot on a shoestring budget, the film boasts some impressive camera work and extremely over-the-top gore effects as well as a sense of humor much more subtle than the tongue-in-cheek aesthetic of the two sequels.

Theatrical Release: October 15, 1981. Director Sam Raimi's first feature film. Joel Coen served as assistant editor.

Evil Dead Quotes/Excerpts:

"We can't bury Shelly, she's our friend." (Ash, to Scott, after watching him hack off the limbs of his possessed girlfriend and then suggest that they bury the remaining parts)

Evil Dead Reviews:

"...Raimi maintains suspense and a nightmarish mood..." -- Lor., Variety

"...[A] tongue-in-cheek cult favourite..."-- Ben Walters, Sight and Sound

"[H]ighly effective as a tense horror -- its scares balanced by plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour." -- James Bell, Sight and Sound

One of the best horror films ever made. The makers of "Wrong Turn" should have studied this film better, before they made their waste of time.

4 stars A teensy bit of a spoiler but not much
I have only ever seen Army of Darkness before and then only edited for TV. I have always liked it but thought it a bit stupid at the same time. I was expecting the same silliness start to finish with this movie and was very surprised to feel a bit of adrenaline pumping as Ash goes down the cellar steps the first time. Good suspense build up. Definitely worth watching.

Clive Barker's feature directing debut graphically depicts the tale of a man and wife who move into an old house and discover a hideous creature--the man's half-brother, who is also the woman's former lover--hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons called the Cenobites, he is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. He soon forces his former mistress to bring him human sacrifices to complete his body... but the Cenobites won't be happy about this. One of the best horror films of the 1980s, HELLRAISER is based on Barker's novel THE HELLBOUND HEART and was followed by three sequels.

Duane Bradley (Kevin Van Hentenryck) has a secret in his wicker basket, which he carries with him constantly. Inside is his mutant Siamese twin Belial, who was cut from his side as a child and left for dead. Now the two, who share a telepathic link, have travelled to New York City to wreak bloody revenge on the thoughtless surgeons who separated them. Belial is not about to let anything get in his was, least of all the budding romance between his brother Duane and a beautiful young receptionist. Carrying a mysterious wicker basket around with him, Duane Bradley arrives in Manhatten and checks into a sleazy Times Square hotel. What's in the basket, you ask? Why, Duane's hideously misshapen Siamese-twin brother, Belial, of course! Duane has hit the Big Apple with his beastly bro to wreak havoc on the surgeons who seperated them. With memorably gruesome scenes and some disturbing stop-motion animation, Frank Henenlotter's "Basket Case" is one of the most beloved, cheerfully demented cult classics of all time, and a midnight movie hit that inspired two sequels.
