Evil Dead

Ashley "Ash" Williams (Bruce Campbell), his girlfriend and three pals hike into the woods to a cabin for a fun night away. There they find an old book, the Necronomicon, whose text reawakens the dead when it's read aloud. The friends inadvertently release a flood of evil and must fight for their lives or become one of the evil dead. Ash watches his friends become possessed, and must make a difficult decision before daybreak to save his own life in this, the first of Sam Raimi's trilogy.

"The Evil Dead has the simple, stupid power of a good campfire story -- but its simplicity is not a side effect. It is something carefully crafted by Raimi, who is anything but stupid... who is so full of talent that anybody unable to get it together might bet tempted to wonder if gobbling the man's fingernails could possibly do any good..." - Stephen King

"Unquestionalby it's an instant classic, probably the grisliest well-made movie ever." - Los Angeles Times
"...it delivers on all promises and more, with a parade of gushing wounds, demonic howls, and oceans of gore which approach the line of good taste, toe it, then gleefully dance across." - AV Club
"While injecting considerable black humor, neophyte Detroit-based writer-director Sam Raimi maintains suspense and a nightmarish mood in between the showy outbursts of special effects gore and graphic violence which are staples of modern horror pictures." - Variety
"Raimi's script is riotously deadpan, his compositions undeniably breathtaking and inventive." - Slant
