I found the Evil Dead to be a fairly good horror film, but not necessarily one of the best. The scares were fairly predictable, the characters were pretty flat and indistinguishable from one another, other than Campbell's character. However, it is very obvious that this was a very influential horror film since many of the styles, techniques, and scares in this movie have been copied and been paid homage to by so many other films. This film is also one of the goriest I have probably ever seen.
So while it isn't the best horror film, it isn't the worst either. It does have some very good moments. If you looking for a gory movie about teenagers being murdered by demonic spirits summoned out of a book of the dead in a cabin, this one is for you.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
