Evil Dead, The
Sam Raimi, 1981.
The first of Raimi’s triology starts with four teenagers traveling to a remote Tennessee woodland cabin. Once there they unwittingly play an academic recording of a reading from the “Necronomicon”, which may be a reference to the fictional book of magic conceived by H.P. Lovecraft. This reading summons evil sprits from another dimension, leading to three films of demonic troubles for Ash, brilliantly played by Bruce Campbell. Although not as hilarious as the sequels, Evil Dead is still excellent. Highlights include the roving camera shots through the forest and the tree-assault.
