Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Sam Raimi directed this 1983 horror feature fresh out of film school, and his anything-for-an-effect enthusiasm pays off in lots of formally inventive bits.

fresh:
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.

Short on characterisation and plot but strong on atmospheric horror and visual churns.

To say that the Evil Dead movies are not for everyone is an understatement. A strong stomach is required.
