The Evil Dead

Dir. Sam Raimi · United States of America · English

The ultimate experience in gruelling terror.

What happens

In 1979, a group of college students find a Sumerian Book of the Dead in an old wilderness cabin they've rented for a weekend getaway.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"While injecting considerable black humor, neophyte Detroit-based writer-director Sam Raimi maintains suspense and a nightmarish mood in between the showy outbursts of special effects gore and graphic violence which are staples of modern horror pictures."

— Variety Staff
