The Evil Dead
Directed by Sam Raimi
In 1979, a group of college students who, during a weekend getaway, find a Sumerian Book of the Dead in an old wilderness cabin they've rented. When they unwittingly unleash evil spirits and demons while reading incantations from the book, that's when the real havoc begins. As each of the kids, one by one, are possessed by the demons they've let loose, body parts and bodily fluids go a-flying until only one young man is left to face down the Evil Dead.
In Sam Raimi's groundbreaker, group of college students unleash demons from the Sumerian Book of the Dead in an old cabin.
Cast: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DeManincor

A F*CKIN GOOD FILM!
I haven't watched this in years and it completely holds up, one of my favorites! If you haven't watched it, then do yourself a favor and add it to your list, and if you have watched it, still add it to your list!
Such gory fun.
The psychotic creativity and DIY spirit make this one of the all time greats. That, and more than can fit into this box. Just watch it if you haven't seen it!
Creative shots. Cartoonishly spooky atmosphere. Goofy and gruesome. The remakes don't get what makes the Evil Dead tick. No Bruce, no bueno!
