So this is another movie I watched about a month ago (I swear I get to movies I've watched on the day soon enough haha). I've seen the series before and it's one I forgot to add to my list of top horror films in my introduction to what I'm doing this month. Sam Raimi, most of ya'll probably know him from Spiderman 1-3, has a flair for horror. It's how he basically started and it's in his blood. The Evil Dead follows the story of three couples who decide to take a trip up an old cabin in the woods that one of them bought. Upon arriving strange things start happening after they explore the house and find an old mans tape (who did supernatural research) and play it. Now it becomes a fight for survival against seen and unseen forces. Now if you like blood and gore, like me, this movie is straight up your alley. Raimi spares no expense for gushing, squirting, bleeding, pooling, covering, and whatever other way blood can happen. Also, aside from all the other "kids", Bruce "Motherfuckin'" Campbell owns as the protagonist Ash. If you don't know Bruce, shame on you. He's a pro at doing B-movie horrors and also plays Sam Axe in one of my favorite shows Burn Notice. In this movie he acts as well as possible and when he's given a chance to be funny admist all that's going on, it works. Also the 80s horror music is quite chilling and surprisingly great. Works when they're a chase or death, and kept me on my toes. The acting is as good as it can get all around, the story is original, the death, blood, and gore are great, and it was a fun supernatural horror film to watch. Here's another one that's on the ole Netflix instant too. Go watch it.
