I find myself loving my personal pick for the greatest horror movie ever, 1981’s The Evil Dead, more and more each time that I watch it. The same goes for the sequels (Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness) and soft reboot from 2013, which I do not really view as a pure remake, but would count as one of the best horror movie remakes if I did. I also find myself noticing something new about this saga of intensely gory and often morbidly funny tales of demonic possession with each viewing, too.
My most recent rewatch of the first four Evil Dead movies in preparation for the quickly approaching fifth installment, Evil Dead Rise — the one upcoming horror movie I am anticipating the absolute most — was certainly no exception. So, how about you primitive screwheads take a moment to read through this breakdown of the groovy things that popped out at me as I revisited one of the greatest horror movie franchises ever?
