“The Beginning of HORROR in my life.”
SYNOPSIS: “5 college students on their way to an old abandoned cabin in the woods, oh yeah!” When they get to the cabin they wake a demon long dormant from reading the Necrinomicon aloud. Coming up from the ground the angry demon starts possessing everyone except for a lone boy who has to transform into a hero.
THOUGHTS: Where do I begin? A bunch of eighteen-year old kids want to terrify people by making a movie, well I think they were mainly scratching an itch they had for the longest time. They were making super-eight movies when they were young and felt they needed to expand their audience. This movie is spectacular because of the amount of heart, sweat, lack of sleep, and actual blood that went into this movie. They replaced actors, places, sets, and they made sure the car was in the movie. (Which will appear in many other movies as a trademark).
The Raimi’s and Bruce Campbell all became cult movie icons from this project alone. This movie has spawned two sequels, hundreds of t-shirts, influences in movies, millions of deadites, and even a MUSICAL!!!(I have seen the musical twice, in the blood splattering section. All I can say is the musical might be just as good if not better because there are catchy songs you will sing for weeks. This I can discuss in great length another time and place.)
Speaking from a guy who loves movies, classic horror, gore, friend dismembering, blood everywhere, pencils used as weapons, chainsaws, boomsticks, and the feel of being scared by the demented thoughts of others, this movie is the best.
STARS: ****
