Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead" (1981) set him apart as the master of ferocious horror. With the camera never still, Raimi pulls off a very fast paced movie that does not slow down till its over. Five college students rent a cabin in the woods for a getaway. They find the Book of the Dead and a tape with demonic incantations. The tape is played and the demons are unleashed. That night, a girl gets brutally raped by trees that are possessed by demons. One by one, each person is picked off by the demons. A man, played by Bruce Campbell, is the last one left and thinks he has survived ... or has he?

Expert Review:
The ultimate experience in grueling terror, indeed. No other horror film has surpassed "The Evil Dead" in delivering that unsettling sensation of isolation and impending doom as the forces of evil converge en masse. While the humor of the film stems more from the bad acting than anything intended in the script, the surreal dangers, camerawork and creatures make this one of the weirdest horror films ever produced. By Mark Pellegrini of Adventures in Poor Taste
