Evil Dead...I'm absolutely with you on that Dan. Evil Dead & its sequel happen to be two of the most influential films from the 80's despite the limited budget and the B-film baggage. Maybe I'm not as big a B-film enthusiast as I ought to be, not yet at least :)Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-39395150250332345272010-06-23T23:20:25.751+05:302010-06-23T23:20:25.751+05:30Raw but brilliant would be my verdict. Evil Dead 2...Raw but brilliant would be my verdict. Evil Dead 2 (more a remake than a sequel) is better because Raimi concentrated on the tongue-in-cheek stuff, but you've got to give him credit for creating one of the most memorable cult flicks with such a limited budget and experience.Dan (Top10Films)http://www.top10films.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-23397390259668049972010-06-23T00:25:15.498+05:302010-06-23T00:25:15.498+05:30@Troy:

I too watched the film after a very long time. Planning to rewatch and review the sequel as well.

Yeah, the stuff which have since become cliched worked very well in this film.

I'm slightly impartial to the sequel, where Campbell gets to flex is comedy chops a bit more, but there's some debate to the fact that Raimi never has been able to top himself since this.Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-77923361464969639252010-06-22T23:27:36.130+05:302010-06-22T23:27:36.130+05:30Aye Shubhajit!

The house-in-the-woods setting, and the ancient scrolls help establishing a brooding atmospheric underpinning for a hair-raising horror show, that yields more than a few jolts. I won't soon forget how I sacred my kids silly when I first show this to them years back. The sequels are impreesive too.<br /><br />Excellent and rightly appreciative capsule.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
