The Evil Dead

What can I say? The Evil Dead series is basically what got me into the feild of horror movies, of which I am now obsessed. It paved the way for many horror franchises like Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th. This movie was before it's time, even though it was low-budget. The camera angles were terrific and really helped setting the creepy mood to the story. It helped put a little of the characters frears right into you! Sam Raimi did a wonderful job directing, and the actors were pretty damn good to caonsidering 4 of them would never really ever act again. Bruce Campbell is the man! His character Ash, kind of stood in the background of the movie, and only fought against the Evil Dead when he had no other choice. I deem this movie my highest ranking. I give it a 5 out of 5.

Characters

• Ash: Bruce Campbell! Our reluctant hero. Seems kinda like a wimp in the begining.

• Scott: Ash'es friend. A take-charge kind of guy that I mistook as the hero the first time I watched it. Killed by the wounds substained from wandering out into sure danger. Later possesed.
• Cheryl: Ash'es sister. Possesed early on after getting raped by some trees.
• Shelly: Scotty's gal. Possesed and chopped up.
