The Evil Dead

I have to say that I am conflicted about this movie. You see overall this isn't that great of a movie, but Bruce Campbell has a very special place in my heart and I love any movie he is in, cause it's Bruce "F'ing" Campbell. Plus one of my all time favorite movies is Army of Darkness, and if you don't know Army of Darkness is the third movie in the evil dead series. There is an evil dead one and two, and then they used the same character Ash and made the epic Army of Darkness movie, which isn't anything like the Evil Dead serious. Now you do have to keep in mind this movie was made in 1982 and for its time I would imagine its pretty good. The story its self is simple, a group of friends go to a creepy cabin in the woods. They find this book called the necronomicon or the book of the dead, which is bound in human flesh. After listing to a tape from the man who had found it first and since died, all the evil spirits are released onto Ash(Bruce's character) and his friends. The first to go is one of the girls who goes out into the woods and is implanted with the evil by the evil trees, scary rite. She turns into this crazy witch zombie person and goes back to attack the cabin. Slowly they are all turned into zombies except Ash who kicks ass and saves the day. The bad make up and clay animation just make this movie something to laugh at. The lacking plot and very stale acting bring the movie down, but who cares it Bruce Campbell and he is the man. So put it in, and watch Bruce kick some book of the dead ass!!!!
Rating: 3 Yeti roars out of 5
