The Evil Dead

The Evil Dead: the most terrifying movie I have seen since my first viewing of The Shining. This movie is about five people who go to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. They stumble upon 'The Book of the Dead,' which turns you into a flesh-possessing demon. The scenes were terrifying; this an aspect in horror movies I have not seen in a long time. Another subject that makes slasher movies great is the amount and usage of gore used. Long story short, the demons' guts were made from green creamed corn, and they spewed milk out when they were destroyed.

There are two main types of people when it comes to horrors and slashers: ones who appreciate them, and find that the classics outshine the Hollywood horrors any day, and the other being people who laugh at old horrors just because they are "over the top" or "cheesy." If you are in the first category, you would enjoy this film like I have. If you are in the second category of people, I wish you luck in this world. You'll need it.

Over, I give this movie an 8.5 for sheer terror I have not seen in a long time, as well as displaying the most gruesome deaths seen in a slasher film.
