The demon/zombie creatures themselves are covered in a crude blue makeup but achieve their desired scariness by having some horrible looking blank yellow eyes which really makes them look sick. Black comedy is also thrown into the brew to lighten up some heavier moments, such as when Ash tries to give the mortally wounded Scotty a drink - but the poor man is unable to swallow. It's rare when a film manages to combine both old-fashioned atmosphere and new-fangled gore so successfully, but this is a milestone in that aspect. Other "highlights" include a scene where a zombie is dismembered with an axe and the body parts continue to wriggle like jelly, a woman getting stabbed in the ankle with a pencil, an eye-gouging, a zombie getting its face burnt off in a fire, and the celebrated ending in which the final zombies suffer total meltdown - achieved via some natty stop motion animation for total disgustingness. Watching a zombie biting off its own hand from which a white liquid then sprays is one of the most horrible things I've watched. Seen uncut, it's a surprisingly nasty and gruesome little film where the gore may not be convincing but is certainly disturbing. The graphic gore content certainly earned the film a notoriety - it was very nearly classified as a "video nasty" - and of course it got heavily cut by the BBFC. The amateurish aspect does have its strong points however, as the film exudes a kind of "raw terror" in which the viewer can really relate to the characters and their situation. Favourites include Cheryl, who is the first to get spooked out and who draws a picture of the book of the dead Scotty, the joker and natural leader of the group and Ash, who overcomes being a wimp in the first half to become a shotgun-wielding executioner in the second. The amateur nature of the film means that the acting can hardly be called "refined", although most of the youngsters manage to make their characters likable and convincingly portray terrified people.

The first half hour is the set up, an atmospheric sequence full of dark shadows, spooky cellars and the eerie isolation of a remote cabin in the woods - the film manages to tap into the same fears that THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT later exploited.
I actually think the first half hour of this film is the best, just before all hell breaks loose and the special effects guys have a field day. As the advertising slogan goes, what many consider to be "the ultimate experience in gruelling terror" is a gripping, frightening, gory roller-coaster ride through all manner of unbelievable and scary happenings. Sam Raimi's acclaimed horror debut is certainly not for the faint of heart. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 9 / 10 The ultimate in raw, independent film-making
Not a great film but for its budget, an amazing picture.one all budding filmmakers should see. Had they had a better budget, no doubt the gore could have looked much more realistic.and the film would have turned me off completely! As it is, it's somewhat comical because it's so ridiculous. While the gore level is off the charts in this film, it's so ridiculously over the top and fake looking that it is worth seeing. For some odd reason, Ash (Campbell) is spared and the final portion of the film is a total bloodbath as he is forced to violently dismember his friends in order to avoid being killed by these not demonic beings. They find a tape recorder and play it.only to have a professor on the tape blurt out an incantation from a book he found.and the incantation brought out the evil dead who soon began invading the bodies of these folks. Five young people go off to a cabin in the woods. In many ways, this early feature by Raimi reminds me of George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (the 1968 version) and Peter Jackson's "Bad Taste" as they, too, were early films of these directors and earned a fortune.catapulting these men to A-level films. However, it's a historically important one, as it gave director Sam Raimi and actor Bruce Campbell their big break.and is a great example of a super-cheap film that earned back a fortune for the filmmakers. "The Evil Dead" is not at all the sort of film I normally watch. Reviewed by MartinHafer 7 / 10 This film probably used more blood than all the "Living Dead" movies put together!!
