Review of The Evil Dead (1981) by Wesley J — 14 Apr 2013
My first time ever seein this... Maybe if I woulda seen it when it hit video, maybe I woulda had more of an appreciation for it. I mean, I know there are some die-hard fans out there but I didn't see what the big deal was.
The dead were constantly comin back to life after about 10 seconds of silence to try & scare the pants off ya - more shock-value than anything. I'm not tryin to be too picky here but I guess I'm just spoiled on today's special effects.
I actually didn't mind the buckets of blood, it sorta added to the campiness. But if you're curious about this, by all means check it out - don't let my review keep you from it - but I would wait & see the reboot.
Not terrible...but not good either :-I.
