SYNOPSIS: Five college students go to a cabin in the woods and release an ancient evil from the book of the dead. (Sound familiar?)HIGHS: Possessed chick... funny stuff! A little bit scary. Basement is scary - don't go down there!
LOWS: Cheese, cheese, cheese!!
MEMORABLE LINES: Ash: The bridge... it's destroyed! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOTE: It's no Evil Dead the Musical, but it's good enough.

complete cinematic gold. i first saw this at a sleepover party in 1984. left quite an impression on me and the other gals. i recall watching it about 8 times over a wretched christmas holiday in high school, years after. forced to stay inside with my dysfunctional family, it just may have saved my sanity. (in fact i'd take staying in that creepy cabin over forced family time any day. IN FACT, forced family time together is where my understanding of horror movies was born). and it has held up over the years. recently watched it again and was not disappointed! there's comedy in there, thrills, suspense, and excellent cheap special effects. so creative... it has definitely influenced pop culture. this edition i rented was a 20 year anniversary edition and had interviews with sam raimi and cast. check it out if you get the chance! is there a 10 movie out there? this has got to be one.
