Dead boring?

The Evil Dead (1981)

Director Sam Raimi broke onto the scene with this low budget horror film that stared Bruce Campbell and was edited by one Joel Coen. Five college students go to spend some time in a cabin in the woods and run into some evil spirits.

I have to say that I found this film to be a real disappointment. You expect some corner cutting given this is a low budget first time effort but the real lack of any plot depth or characters was a big let down. The special effects are passable given the nature of the film but other than that it is hard to for me to find many positives.

2/5
