James is actually 100% correct on firearm safety. Never point one at a person you have zero intention of shooting. Doesn't matter if the safety is on, or if it's unloaded. Don't do it.

And that's why The Cabin in the Woods included "Angry Molesting Tree" as one of the possibly summoned monsters.

[@embercoral]

This is also an example of a molestation/rape-related joke that's actually funny due to the context behind it. They could've very well just called that option "The Woods Themselves" or something similar and it would've made just as much sense as an Evil Dead reference, but they instead singled out that one tree as if the rest of the woods wanted nothing to do with it. I love it.

The thing that disturbs me the most about this movie is the fact that Ash lost his sister, GF, and best friend during the same night; he watched them getting possessed and horribly disfigured, and then he had to battle/kill 'em in the most gruesome way imaginable. He didn't face/kill strangers that night. That "small" detail makes The Evil Dead an incredibly emotional and tragic horror film, despite all the gore. The "ending" is almost a relief considering that Ash basically had no life left after that night, and the cops wouldn't have believed him.

That is why The Evil Dead (1981) in my opinion is my favorite horror movie ...AND ALSO the scariest horror movie of ALL TIME to date! Watch it alone in a dark room...with the volume pumped up after midnight...and you will understand why. Joseph Loduca has composed the most claustrophobic and terrifying soundtrack especially with those violin strings plucking sounds. This is a lightning in a bottle movie....genius movie...that happens once in a lifetime! Evil Dead 2 is great...but no horror movie can top the pacing NOR the pure horror terror effect of this movie until today!

[@colinbaldwin313]

Yeah. I feel a little bad about damning this movie, since they had to be so dedicated and inventive to get it made with what they had. However, I have to be honest: this is a pretty terrible movie. I don't care about the characters (or the actors), there's no shortage of jump-scare cliches, and I'm not even very disgusted by the gore because the special effects are so unconvincing. Instead of spending whatever they had to spend on the gore, they should have gone the Jaws route and suggested violence rather than being as gratuitous as possible with it.

9:07 “the city let them do that!” Hey man, if someone wants to get of rid of something for their little movie on their own budget, I’m sure any city would be like “Cool! We were gonna do it ourselves, but hey, if you wanna spend your money to do it for us, go right on ahead you young little whipper-snapper!” Jokes aside it is cool they let them do it because well, hey, we got a bomb ass franchise out of it, so it ended up being a win-win in hindsight, especially us faithful fans 😊 To think if the OG Evil Dead never got as successful as it has, we may have never gotten another masterpiece with Cabin in the Woods, or the OG Spider-Man Sam Raimi series. So hey, yay thank you Captain Hindsight!

It's funny, the necklace was once crucial to the ending. Apparently, the sun was supposed to shine through the necklace and catch the book on fire. Also, notice the Necronomicon isn't in Evil Dead 2? I never noticed till a friend pointed it out. Because Ash burned it at the end of the first one.

This is the movie I use when someone blames the budget for a movie being bad. This movie was basically made a shoe, a Bobby pin, and a 2 by 4 and it still manages to be very good so that is not a good enough excuse for me.

[@mariovazquez4436]

Tons of great horror movies have low budget.A few examples are Night of the Living Dead,Dawn of the Dead,the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and of course the Original Halloween.

[@rivereuphrates8103]

Big agree, I think the constraints of budget can be a benefit with some films, especially horror genre. With too much capital, filmmakers can be tempted to show too much, if that makes sense. And that's one of several problems with most horror films these days, to me anyway. And the grittiness of the first Evil Dead, including the actual lower budget film used, just adds to the atmosphere.

[@blueberryfizz3400]

I absolutely love the Evil Dead franchise from the films to the series. I think my fave part of Evil Dead 1 is how much of a struggle it feels. Ash and Scotty fight for their survival with a fun power dynamic. Scotty is the macho and “hero” like figure for the first half, he is the one you expect to survive till morning only for him to turn tail and end up dead. Leaving the much more timid and inexperienced incarnation of Ash to struggle through the final hours alone. If you were unaware of the sequels you would never know whether or not he is going to make it.

[@LordJord001]

My dad was telling me that when he was about 8 he watched this and the part with the card game made him jump sky high andgave him nightmares for weeks

[@dr.k8610]

Ash VS Evil Dead is great, and not a spin-off, as it acknowledges the events of the original trilogy as canon.

[@joannasmith1345]

A spin-off usually takes place in the same universe. It is a spin-off, just not a reboot or alternate reality
