Movie Reviews of The Evil Dead (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition)
Movie Review: "Absolute Horror"
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Evil Dead" was originally turned down by all the major Hollywood movie studios due to its graphic depiction of evil and gore, but a European studio finally released the film after it was previewed at the Cannes Film Festival. Budgeted at around $300,000, the film would become a modest hit at the boxoffice and ultimately garner a cult following after it was released on home video and DVD. The story deals with five college students who embark themselves on a deserted cabin in Tennessee. When they find an audio recording that releases evil spirits all hell breaks loose. Don't watch this if you have a weakness for scary films as "The Evil Dead" is probably the most gruesome horror flick I have ever witnessed, even more so than "The Exorcist". Running at just under 90 minutes, the DVD comes with audio commentary by its director/writer Sam Raimi and producer Robert Topert, behind the scenes footage and outtakes, trailer, TV spots, and more. There is an informative booklet that accompanies the disc as well. When the film was released on DVD by Anchor Bay the movie was fully restored with renewed video and audio quality. Turn the lights out, grab the popcorn, and watch this little gem. Trust me; you will be scared!
Summary of The Evil Dead (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition)
In the fall of 1979, Sam Raimi and his merry band headed into the woods of rural Tennessee to make a movie. They emerged with a roller coaster of a film packed with shocks, gore, and wild humor, a film that remains a benchmark for the genre. Ash (cult favorite Bruce Campbell) and four friends arrive at a backwoods cabin for a vacation, where they find a tape recorder containing incantations from an ancient book of the dead. When they play the tape, evil forces are unleashed, and one by one the friends are possessed. Wouldn't you know it, the only way to kill a "deadite" is by total bodily dismemberment, and soon the blood starts to fly. Raimi injects tremendous energy into this simple plot, using the claustrophobic set, disorienting camera angles, and even the graininess of the film stock itself to create an atmosphere of dread, punctuated by a relentless series of jump-out-of-your-seat shocks. The Evil Dead lacks the more highly developed sense of the absurd that distinguish later entries in the series--Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness--but it is still much more than a gore movie. It marks the appearance of one of the most original and visually exciting directors of his generation, and it stands as a monument to the triumph of imagination over budget. --Simon LeakeHorror DVD Video
