The Evil Dead
Directed by Sam Raimi
In 1979, a group of college students who, during a weekend getaway, find a Sumerian Book of the Dead in an old wilderness cabin they've rented. When they unwittingly unleash evil spirits and demons while reading incantations from the book, that's when the real havoc begins. As each of the kids, one by one, are possessed by the demons they've let loose, body parts and bodily fluids go a-flying until only one young man is left to face down the Evil Dead.
In Sam Raimi's groundbreaker, group of college students unleash demons from the Sumerian Book of the Dead in an old cabin.
Cast: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DeManincor

The best more 80s like this Shudder
First time watching this film and it was amazing. Given the year it was made, it was still an easy watch and entertaining.
One of the All Time Greats in Horror, Very difficult to match this for the Style and inventiveness that went into this movie that was built out of the time and the neccesity of a shoe string budget!! Love it Love it Love IT!!
