The Evil Dead

Sam Raimi's classic and controversial horror classic is one of the films that shouts for a remake. Raimi cleverly uses some of deepest phobias of human nature such as isolation, nature, and fear of the unknown to create a horror film that's effective despite an extremely low budget and cheap effects. The story about five friends who travel to a remote log cabin where they find a recording and a book that unravels some demons. Raimi also uses elements of previous horror classics such as "The Exorcist" and "Alien" to his advantage. However the effects are so poor by today's standards that turn the film into a comedy and takes away from the sheer horror. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
