Zombie Zane here once again live and direct from the mutha-fuckin Seven-Six-One-Oh-Seven. Hope all is well in your corner(s) of the world. So this week Sasha and I are talking possession. I love a good possession don't you? Nothing like taking a crucifix and pounding it up my ass. I've been possessed many times over and can't wait until the next time!! I remember this one when...Sorry. I'm getting off point. Anyway, since this week's topic is possession, I figured I would watch and review one of my all time favorite demon movies. Ever seen the movie, "THE EVIL DEAD?" If not, you're a tool and should crawl back under the rock you've been living under. Was that rude? I'm sorry. Well, kinda...So without further ado, let me tell you my take on the film 'THE EVIL DEAD."
'The Evil Dead' is a 1981 American horror film written and directed by Sam Raimi, starring Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, and Betsy Baker. This film was extremely controversial for its graphic violence, terror and gore, and was turned down by almost all U.S. film distributors. A European company finally bought it and it was released in theaters in October of 1981. Despite getting some mixed reviews at the time, this film now has a dedicated cult following. It has also spawned two sequels, 'The Evil Dead 2,' and 'Army of Darkness.' Which, p.s. are both great fuckin' films.
The film was re-submitted for a rating in '94, and the MPAA stuck the NC-17 rating on it. Why? I'm not sure. Elite Entertainment released the film on DVD in '99 and retained the NC-17 rating. Anchor Bay has since acquired the DVD rights to the film and now it's released as an unrated film. Anywho, that was interesting wasn't it. Let's get to the plot.
The film is a story about five Michigan college students vacationing in a secluded cabin in the middle of the woods. Their vacation goes from fun to out right horrible when they stumble upon an old audio tape that when played releases evil spirits. And that's when the shit hits the fan. Ash(Campbell) is forced to battle his friends when they become possessed by the evil spirits. And the only way to kill them is by...are you ready for this? BODY DISMEMBERMENT!! Yes, the plot is simple, the acting is a tad goofy and the film is a bit dated, but all in all, this is still a great mother-humpin' film. In fact, this is one of my favorite horror films of all time and I highly suggest giving it a watch.
Now it's time for the scores:
BODY COUNT: 4 (a low number, but don't worry, this is quality rather than quantity)
NUDITY NUMBER: 1(just a brief boob shot)
SEVERINGS: ( A ton! Not sure on the actual number, but you won't be disappointed.)
SEX SCENES: 0 (No sex, no problem. Still a great film)
OTHER COOL SHIT: creepy mist, scary noises in the woods, a girl getting attacked by roots(she even gets a root right up her box! OUCH!!) demonic possessions, a ton of spewing body fluid, much blood, body dismemberments, and lots and lots of violence!
GORE SCORE- 4 (Solid 4 out of 5. This baby is full of gore and all that good stuuf)
MY SCORE - 4.5 (4.5 out of 5) Near perfect!
Ok, there it is. That's all there is and there aint no more. Be sure and check out Sasha's book review for 'THE EXORCIST.' SO until next time, take care, stay a-scared and I am out.
