Back when making low budget movies wasn’t the easiest thing in the world, there was a man by the name of Sam Raimi, who made a couple of short films, but nothing too special. However, after getting a budget of just over just under four hundred thousand, and a studio crew, he started to work on one of his first movies. Who would have thought that his first movie would be his best movie and one of my favorite movies of all time. That movie is The Evil Dead
Evil Dead follows a group of five college students, Ash, his girlfriend Linda, his sister Cheryl, friend Scotty, and Scotty’s girlfriend Shelly travel out into the woods with a cabin in it for them to spend their spring break. However, in their little cabin, they find what turns out to be the Book of the Dead, which, after being read out loud, releases something known as the Evil Dead, which goes after all of the members in the forest and tries to kill all of them one by one, leaving them to try and survive the night from the Evil Dead… If that isn’t an interesting concept for a movie, I don’t know what is. The movie manages to be very crazy, very violent, kinda stupid in some ways, and I love everything about this movie from the cheesy one liners to the creepy monsters. It has everything I love in a movie. And according to how influential this movie is, everyone else seems to love it too. And for good reason.
I think one of the things in this movie that makes it scary is the atmosphere of the cabin in the middle of a forest that is under attack by demonic forces. Sure, hearing the monster scream and seeing the giant molester tree attack that one girl is creepy enough, but it’s creepier when there is nothing happening at all. It’s quiet, and really creepy, and the wind slowly blowing really gives it a sort of mid-autumn feeling to it, which is a really good thing to see in some of these movies. But you know that that sort of thing is the most dangerous setting of them all. When nothing happens and it’s all quiet. It just makes it even more scary, because you don’t know what’s gonna happen. Is there a monster in this room? I don’t know. The atmosphere is too creepy to tell. That is what this movie does best. The suspense. There’s so much suspense in this movie, that you don’t know what’s going to happen during your first viewing. And that is what I think manages to make this movie so scary… But the crazy thing is that the Evil Dead shouldn’t be scary
The Evil Dead is a movie that knows that it is stupid and gory, and instead of trying to make it serious, they continue to be very stupid and gory, and that’s what makes it genius in it’s own morbid way. All of the crazy violence, the cheesy acting and one liners, the fact that Ash just so happens to find a double-barreled shotgun and a chainsaw in the same cabin in the middle of nowhere just manages to make this movie even more funny than one normally would. This movie has so much crazy and unbelievable things, like molesting tree, and some of the poorly done acting manages to make the movie seem so cheesy, that it manages to be making fun of other movies of the same genre as The Evil Dead, which I think makes it so much better than one would think. But it still has some scary moments, like the monster in the cellar. Just hearing the noises it makes is enough to consider this a horror movie rather than a parody.
What can I say about the Evil Dead? It’s crazy, silly, gory, and I love every last bit of it. It manages to please B movie fans, horror fans, and movie fans alike in so many ways. The movie was such a success, getting two just as awesome sequels, a TV series, a remake, a line of toys, video games. What didn’t this movie get? A toy of one of the monsters shared with Pee-Wee Herman? ….. Oh, that actually exists……. Oh
Oh well. All you need to know is that this movie is amazing. It really is something that you need to watch. Trust me, it’s one of the best. And I’m not just saying that because it’s my favorite movie ever. Take care.

Wow. I mean wow. I thought it wasn't possible for people to get dumber. There's the Condom Challenge, where you put a condom in your nose and pull it out your mouth and hope you don't suffocate, then there's the Cinnamon Challenge where you eat cinammon and try not to choke. But, people could get dumber. Here it is, the fire challenge, where you set yourself on fire for no goddamn reason. What the hell, what is wrong with this world. Are people really this stupid that they actually set themselves on fire. Apperently they do. Its even been shown on the news, for gods sake.
Well, that's all I got. This is a stupid trend that makes me wonder why the help some people have the internet. But, hey' that's only my opinion. What's Your Take
