Evil Dead, The

Evil Dead, The

1981

Curiosity overcomes five innocent teenagers vacationing at a cabin in the Tennessee woodlands, and their cellar-snooping unleashes spirits of the evil dead. After all his pals have become possessed, flesh-eating zombies, the one remaining teen (Bruce Campbell) tries to solve the nightmarish mystery and save his friends. Spider-Man director Sam Raimi uses impressively freaky special effects to make this low-budget horror classic. Also included is the Book Of The Dead Limited Edition DVD.

They got up on the wrong side of the grave.

Fun, goofy, gory, shovel wielding and chin wagging good time.
