[@chibikim77]

I agree. The VHS grittiness was and still is the best way to enjoy this film.

[@emperortrevornorton3119]

It is the best way to enjoy the original 3 of The Evil Dead series Army of Darkness can work with DVD but one and two get it on VHS and get a VCR or a DVD/VCR

[@tinkerer3399]

​@@emperortrevornorton3119 I personally gotta disagree regarding Evil Dead 2 for one major reason. Dan motherloving Hicks. I think Hicks really shines on the DVD release and benefits from the quality upgrade. Bruce plays for the back row but I didn't become a big Hicks fan until I could see him better. His little ticks and eye movements are harder to pick up on VHS. Completely agree on The Evil Dead though, that movie was made for VHS. Army of Darkness I could go either way on.

[@kamdan2011]

Same deal with the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

[@stephenvelez9710]

I’m old enough to have enjoyed Evil Dead’s Betamax grittiness 😎

[@edwarddore7617]

For nostalgia sure, but I've owned all three of them on VHS through 4K, and I prefer them on 4K.

[@trainspotter360]

I just assumed Cinema Snob already covered this and was one of the episodes we can't find anymore. This is such a fun surprise.

[@evandaymon8303]

Same here as well as sequels too. I mean I thought he did cover it when remake came out. Guess wrong on that one.

[@chriswelter3859]

I remember Army of Darkness being the first Evil Dead movie i watched, and being hooked. My mom also enjoyed it, and she was pretty cool with us watching it even though we were pretty young at the time. Then we rented the original evil dead from Blockbuster to watch it. I was 10, my brother was 8, and we were sitting in the living room with my mom, watching the original evil dead, completely unaware that there was a tree-rape scene coming up. We still talk about that day.

[@joker9in]

I always seem to forget about that tree rape scene myself. Every time I watch this movie it surprises me.

[@chriswelter3859]

@@joker9in we all try to kinda forget it I think cuz it DEFINITELY doesn’t fit the vibe of the later evil dead films 😂

Whenever I show the original to my friends I go "Are you guys comfortable with the tree rape scene? We can skip it don't worry!!"

[@AltairEgo1]

[@robo-nidai4236]

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that went through a similar experience. Except I was the younger brother and instead of Blockbuster, it was our local video rental store. No joke, the movie scared the shit out of us so much we literally returned it the next day despite the week long rental.

[@crypticcryptid5104]

I remember watching this in all its grainy VHS glory in high school and thinking "This is how a horror film is done." It seems people gravitate towards the later films due to the humor but for me this entry works best with its more straight up horror approach.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

100% I love Evil Dead 2, but the first film is always going to be my favourite!

[@mikeburkhardt7893]

Just gotta say, I love the art in the thumbnail. How the possessed Brad is holding his possessed little hands out in such a non-threatening and silly little way.

[@Darth_Cornpop]

This review of the first Evil Dead movie is... *GROOVY.*

[@SirAsdf]

So Fun Fact: The budget for this movie was so low that they legitimately couldn't afford any shotgun blanks. so, for the scenes where Ash fires it, they used actual shotgun shells.

[@designermetal1]

"It's dark, I don't know the are, and I just heard a scary noise outside. Let me just run out of the cabin in my underwear to check it out." Fucking horror movies man.

[@glennwelsh9784]

I remember seeing Evil Dead for the first time when I was 17. The framing and camera movement was very unconventional, which further added to the movie's bizarre and surreal nature. I've never really done any recreational drugs, but watching it really felt like what I'd imagine a drug trip would feel like, right down to the stop-motion elements in the finale.

[@DestinyPifer]

This is my all-time favorite horror flick!! I became a huge Bruce Campbell fan after watching it!

[@jfernsten]

Over time Sam Raimi's car is the real Deadite. That thing has been broken and resurrected for so many film appearances, Kenny from South Park still falls short. For absolute low budget, yet create a legend, gotta give it to Phantasm. The mausoleum in the first was Contac paper!

[@evandaymon8303]

Yea that car shows up in every movie sam directs. It’s car that travel across multiple universes

[@Blizzard-kf3qm]

I never get tired of that final shot in the movie; knowing it was Sam Raimi with a camera attached to his motorcycle that he rode all the way through into Campbell. And knowing Bruce broke a few ribs in the process makes it all the more commendable.

[@erikwilliams1562]

I did not know this.....damn everyone gangsta

[@Blizzard-kf3qm]

Actually, I just found out that was a lie. Apparently Bruce and Sam came clean a few months ago and said Sam just held the camera and ran very fast; the doors busting down was done by rope that was attached to each side.

[@noahlogue]

[@Luke.S2099]

One of my all time fave franchises. Evil Dead II is my favourite, but I love this one and Army Of Darkness. Ash vs Evil Dead was also amazing. Still have my Necrinomicon that I've had since like 2001, and all the games and some of the comics too. Still crazy how much more serious this movie was compared to the rest of the movies/stories. Ash's character was so different.

[@tremorsfan]

For such a low budget movie the makeup was incredibly impressive.

[@paigehebert]

I remember watching this movie when I was 17 years old in high school, this was the first horror gore flick I fell in love with and the first time I had a crush on Bruce Campbell. As a deadite myself, it still holds up as a cult classic. I'm also going to see Bruce Campbell in the Bruce-O-Rama event in my hometown in Des Moines, Iowa really soon, I'm excited for that! ❤❤

[@talorguitarowner5]

I love seeing this before work! I have something to smoke and watch when I get home!

[@archstanton4365]

You got the rite idea 😉

[@jacobg8707]

I've said it on other message boards - this franchise is so well conceived, and has one of the all time great character actors as its main lead, that if Bruce Campbell can't/won't come back to an on screen roll, then do an animated series for it. And (hear me out on this) I say get Genndy Tartakovsky to spear head it. It would be a near perfect show.

[@breathstealer5486]

I remember watching this back in either late 90s or early early 2000's. To this day this movie even when I know it's coming still makes me jump. I loved the atmosphere of everything in it. I really love when a movie can make it super natural but also make it where you can't leave even when you try, but also give you just enough hope that you think you can. It's a rare type of film. The only other one I can think of is "in the mouth of madness" even though that guy eventually leaves.

I'm currently in the middle of rewatching all the Evil Dead movies. Watching your review of the original, it did make me think back to the original and give it an extra bump in my rating. Finished rewatching the 2nd and while the recap retconning the previous movie bugs me, its a definite improvement in my opinion. Have to rewatch Army of Darkness and the remake. I remember legit loving them, and just this entire franchise in general

[@Monkey_Boy9602]

I had a friend introduce me to the "Evil Dead Trilogy" back in '97 when I was 19, but even though he called it a trilogy, it was only part 2 and "Army of Darkness". I asked about the first "Evil Dead", and he simply said, "It's not important.", but my curiosity had been piqued! I had to wait a few more years, until DVD, before I could get ahold of an affordable copy... and at the time I was disappointed that he was right! I was confused as to why it was basically the same movie as the second except with a smaller cast, ending sooner, and worst of all, not as funny! However, after learning about the goings on behind the scenes, I've since grown quite fond of it because it's a miracle that it even exists!

[@MarquisLeary34]

Ah, Evil Dead, the very first DVD I ever owned and still have. Kudos to Hal and Ellen, they even returned to voice Scotty/Cheryl respectively in the Evil Dead video game.

[@thEannoyingE]

I’m surprised it took this long, but with another remakquel, I guess this’ll do. It’s funny you mention the stop motion, since during its making, Sam and Bruce did a student film called A Helping Hand, in which a stop motion Hamburger Helper kills people.

[@falcon048]

If you want to revisit this with a whole new and scary perspective...pop in that high-res DvD or Bluray of Evil Dead....and turn off all the color. Make it high contrast Black and White and it's creepy on a WHOLE other level. Our friends got the idea after seeing it played on Nightmare on Elm Street. Back when having a small black & white TV in your room was normal.

[@edwarddore7617]

I'll have to try that with the 4Ks of all three movies

[@louisduarte8763]

25:14 That works on 2 levels: Ash yelling at the Deadites, and Bruce Campbell yelling at Sam Raimi and the producers. Fun facts: these actors got hurt for real making this. They wore white contact lenses effectively blinding them, and that was REAL glass shattering on that one actress.

I think the EVIL DEAD TV series was pretty epic - especially when they make direct reference to this OG film, with the same set pieces and cast - I think in the show, canonically, this film supposedly takes place in '82?? I guess the 80's took a while to reach Michigan youths! They look a few years behind! :P

[@phantomzone2725]

Been waiting for this review for literally ages ☺️

[@SpeedyEric1]

I didn't get into the Evil Dead franchise until the first trailer to the 2013 movie came out, and I knew I had to see the first three films as soon as possible. So, I got them on DVD that October 2012, watched them, enjoyed them, and watched them a few more times that month. I also enjoyed the 2013 film, I have yet to watch the TV series Ash vs. The Evil Dead, and I am hyped to see Evil Dead Rise this week. 0:29- Speaking of which, I got a 11x17 poster for this movie hanging on my wall along with other horror classics like Halloween '78, Scream '96, and Freddy vs. Jason. 6:00- And that burping cellar has made my day. Thanks, Brad. 15:44- I knew you were gonna reference Mister "Ya want da sheets?" 22:06 to 22:24- Yeah, I also had the same reaction when I first saw this movie. 22:33- (Cough) Doctor Strange (Cough) Multiverse of Madness (Cough). 23:12- This DVD cover is actually where I first heard of The Evil Dead when I saw in on the shelf of a movie/music store at the mall back in the earth 2000s, as well as Evil Dead 2.

[@brianoneil9662]

I saw this in a theater in East Lansing, MI during its original run. At the start, what with Michigan State being right there, the crowd erupted in cheers at the sight of the MSU sweatshirt. By the time the credits rolled? Dead silence from the packed theater except for one guy who said "Wow. He died. Damn."

If just ONE movie is made in your home town, you hope it's not a clunker. I'm pretty proud of the fact that the ONE movie filmed in my hometown was EVIL DEAD. Me and my friends would watch the movie and play " I've been there!!". It is a shame that the cabin burned down YEARS ago, but the fireplace still (kinda) stands. Back then, the movie had not yet obtained its current uber cult status, we just thought it was cool to stand in the place where a movie we all loved was filmed.

18:40 Ash listing off the names of the gang and whose leaving, is one of best examples of subtle comedy being used to even out the tone, while giving us a chance to accept Ashley as the new hero.

I remember working at a Hollywood Video store one summer in the late 90's. My best friend and fellow high schooler was the assistant manager there and every month the manager quit or was fired, so the inmates were running the asylum. One Saturday afternoon we came in off duty and decided to watch Evil Dead on the wall of TV's they had. A priest came in during the tree scene, and was in fact the priest of another employee working that register right then. There were zero repercussions for this. That job was my Clerks experience.

Army of Darkness was actually the first movie in this series I saw and I will admit I didn't get it. But there was something there that kept bringing me back. It led to seeing the first and second Evil Dead movies and cementing Bruce Campbell as one of my favorite B-movie actors of all time.

[@judsongaiden9878]

"Bruce Campbell is the finest man to grace a silver screen." ~Psychostick 0:51 The story behind Sam's love for that car is touching. It was a gift from his mom, so it has sentimental value, but it's also a symbol of Michigan pride, built in Detroit during its boomtown days. When you think of it that way, it's kinda painful to watch it get beat up in his movies, but then, look at how he torments his best friend and his kid bro (and everyone else). Fun fact: Bruce doesn't share Sam's love for the Delta, regarding it as "a piece of junk." 2:37 "A chin like a clenched fist." ~Honest Trailers 4:44 I've always like this gentle-natured goofy version of Ash. He's almost like a toned-down introverted Jar Jar Binks! 6:19 They were all bunch of cinematic MacGyvers for coming up with stuff like that! Clever, resourceful, and creative. 6:58 In the commentary, Sam talks about how irresponsible they all were back then, especially him. Broken glass is real broken glass. That 20-gauge shotgun is real. The ammo's real. Bruce bought it at a K-Mart. Not sure what make or model it is. It's a generic single-shot 20-gauge. Might be a Harrington & Richardson. It might even have K-Mart markings. I have a ye olde Marlin .30-30 levergun with Sears markings. 9:18 Notice how the evil force reacts with revulsion when it sees Ash and Linda being all twitterpated and lovey-dovey by the fire (almost like it's saying to itself, "Gag me with a rusty wooden spoon!"), preferring instead the more carnal nature of Scott and Shelly's relationship. Textbook voyeur mentality. No one ever said demons were known for their emotional maturity. 10:10 In the commentary, Sam mentions that he regrets filming that scene. That shows emotional maturity and a Lawful Good mentality (so it's no wonder he did such a good job with Darkman and Spider-Man). 10:17 THAT was a clever pun. 12:32 The most ruthless experience in grueling terror! 13:35 His knife's upside-down. If he wants to scabbard his blade at the small of his back in right-handed configuration, he needs what would otherwise be a "left-handed" scabbard. Or one that's made to be worn at the small of the back. At any rate, with a single-edge blade, the sharp edge should face downward if it's being carried in a belt scabbard like that. 14:53 / 17:50 A very young T.E.D. Raimi fake-shemping as Scott's legs and Cheryl's arms. 15:31 Scott's the one who started the tradition of burying the slain and even taking the time to give them marked graves. Ash maintains that tradition, and they even poke fun at it in 'Ash Vs. Evil Dead'. 18:42 If you're the type to obsess over details and continuity (like me), you'll notice that Ash's battle damage (to both his body and his clothing) carries over to ED2, but it doesn't show up til the story of ED2 actually begins. You probably know this already, but you can splice the entire original trilogy together into one mega-movie. If you cut it together at just the right moments, it maintains perfectly coherent continuity, which proves that ED2 is NOT a remake. Bruce describes it as a "requel," but that still means it's mostly "sequel." 18:47 "Change the grip for continuity." ~Sam Raimi, T.E.D. commentary. Note: Sam, by his own admission, usually slacks off on continuity. It's less of a "details" guy and more of a "big picture" guy. Most people are one or the other rather than both, hence the need for teamwork. 20:07 Sam and company call those "it's murder bars." Just one of their many Three Stooges gags. Ah, but they also draw influence from Hitchcock and Agatha Christie (which is why Crimewave was originally titled 'The XYZ Murders'). 23:21 / 23:30 Possibly the beginning of Sam's obsession with pointlessly mirrored scenes. He talks about that in the ED2 commentary during that one basement scene. Directors do that because they think it improves continuity, but really, it does the exact opposite from the audience's perspective. He goes on to say that, "We always assume that you won't notice, but you always do." 24:10 The clock functions as a "gauge" for the presence of evil. Whenever it's doing something unnatural, that's when evil is at its strongest. When the clock is running normally, the evil force is subdued or dormant. But reliable is that, really? This is a Sam Raimi movie! "Rules" are made to be broken.

I was mortified and enthralled all at once and was looking for the next great horror film after watching Halloween and Dawn of the Dead, and i found it in this gem of a movie. Nightmares ensued aplenty, and i was forever a horror fan afterwards. I loved the video nasties of the 80's of which The Evil Dead was the posterchild of the era. Good times.
