The Evil Dead Movie Review: | |
Sam Raimi directed this 1983 horror feature fresh out of film school, and his anything-for-an-effect enthusiasm pays off in lots of formally inventive bits. Pat Graham-Chicago Reader While injecting considerable black humor, neophyte Detroit-based writer-director Sam Raimi maintains suspense and a nightmarish mood in between the showy outbursts of special effects gore and graphic violence which are staples of modern horror pictures. Variety Staff-Variety Short on characterisation and plot but strong on atmospheric horror and visual churns. Stephen Garrett-Time Out To say that the Evil Dead movies are not for everyone is an understatement. A strong stomach is required. James Berardinelli-ReelViews ...certainly notable as the announcement of an eager talent, but I'd have a difficult time praising the picture as much more than that. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm It's unpolished, primitive and a bit dragged-out at times, but The Evil Dead remains a seminal horror experience. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor A cult classic of the highest order, Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead is the rare 80′s movie that actually feels worthy of its lofty reputation; relatively, anyway. Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt Sam Raimi's visceral debut remains a benchmark of modern horror. -Total Film It's Raimi's keen eye (and ear) for audiovisual intoxication that makes this creeper a home run. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Everyone tries to make a horror flick this way. Few succeed like Raimi did. Scott Weinberg-FEARnet If you want to savor the gory goodness of "The Evil Dead" on home video, with every burst pustule and glob of blood as clear and sharp as the day it was filmed, then the Blu-ray disc is the way to go. Steve Biodrowski-Cinefantastique Horror masterpiece is gory, but silly. For older teens only. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media In the league of "Night of the Living Dead" and "Jaws" where it continues to be immortal and outlive other horror classics in the face of changing movie going sentiment... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed No serious subtext to be found here, just vigorous love and respect for the simultaneous horror and humor inherent to the genre. Nick Schager-Lessons of Darkness An inspired gross-out horror pic. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews fans of the film - and novices who make it through the reels without throwing up yet wanting more - will find a lot to love in here Kevin Carr-Film School Rejects No, they don't make 'em like this anymore, folks. Lucius Gore-ESplatter ... one of the most entertaining American horror films of the 1980s, a stylish roller coaster starring a bloody, battered, lantern-jawed Bruce Campbell. Sean Axmaker-MSN.com Director Sam Raimi attacks the movie with a brutal kind of kinetic creativity, moving the camera in truly unique patterns. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid The Evil Dead's no-holds-barred resourcefulness places it among the masterpieces of the genre. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth If you can overlook the mostly lame-o acting, cheeseball effects and fumbling drama, there's enough fledgling genius here to fill another thousand horror movies. -Empire Magazine Energetic, original and icky, Raimi's splat-stick debut is a tight little horror classic that deserves its cult reputation, despite the best efforts of the censors. -Film4 | |
