What critics are saying about The Evil Dead

The Evil Dead may not produce an intellectual response for its countless fans of the franchise, but the young Raimi’s innovative production and the directorial bravado on display are impossible to deny. It’s even more impressive when taking into account the shoestring budget and grueling conditions under which it was made. Here, the tenets of the director’s future visceral works seem fully developed and even confident, as though a seasoned master was finally allowed to test his craft.
