Sinopsis(1)
Cinco chicos van a pasar el fin de semana a una cabaña perdida en un espeso bosque en las montañas de Tennesse. Allí encuentran el Libro de los Muertos, encuadernado en piel humana y escrito con sangre. Sus páginas contienen fórmulas y rituales para devolver a la vida una serie de intidades malignas que se hallan en estado letárgico. Pronto uno a uno, los chicos irán cayendo bajo el influjo del poder de los demonios, convirtiéndose en muertos malignos. La única forma de acabar con ellos es... descuartizarlos... (Ecran Distribución S.A.)

No entiendo por qué esta película de terror es literalmente de culto y aquí en la base de datos obtiene altos porcentajes, de los que algunos excelentes películas de terror solo pueden soñar. Supongo que estoy saturado de películas de terror más recientes y específicamente me divertí mucho con "Arrástrame al infierno" de Sam Raimi. Una estrella por las máscaras bastante decentes y otra por la excelente escena de los ojos.

The first half is excellent. With a minimum of resources, Raimi manages to evoke an oppressive atmosphere of fear. The tree rape scene is something that is not easily forgotten. But the second half is terribly jumbled, as if Raimi didn't know what he wanted to do and was paying for his inexperience as a filmmaker. What I mean is that the scenes are poorly sequenced. In one scene there is a brutal death, and in the one that immediately follows, the characters look uninterested, as if not much had actually happened a few minutes before. I consider Evil Dead to be merely a good, not great, precursor to the flawless sequel.

This crazy affair, changing from an atmospheric horror to a slasher to a splatter finale, holds together only thanks to the occasional crazy idea. Sam Raimi delivers fresh ideas but lacks balance. Bruce Campbell has charisma, but the others around him only serve as background. As for the suspense, the best for me was probably the laughing Linda between the doors, the thought of which still makes me laugh and scared at the same time. But the highlight remains the last visit to the basement before Raimi unleashes his gallery of disgust. The atmosphere there is palpable. In the final evaluation, it is a weaker horror flick, where the viewer can fully enjoy grabbing at various limbs and their ultimate amputation. And even though I enjoy being scared of what I can't see, it's disappointing when I don't find out anything at all.

So I caught up on my biggest and hopefully last horror outstanding debt. I've been heavily skeptical of this film for three years now, it got worse after the remake became my favourite, but in the end The Evil Dead is a decent demonic genre film even today. The visual effects weren't too bad after all, there’s also quite a lot of gore for its age and the atmosphere is quite dark, though it dragged before the film got going. When I compare it to Halloween where blood is a foreign concept to the filmmakers and it is only two years younger, I have to give it a strong rating here. The remake, however, is well beyond insane. 70%.

I get why this film has cult status, but for me it’s not worthy of a full score. The first half was great, but the second has several dull moments, the plot gets stuck somewhere and all I could do was wait for an ending that was clear. The final disintegration of the demons didn’t have any atmosphere due to the not very good special effects. It needs a remake, those special effects today don’t work as they should.
