The Evil Dead was directed by Sam Raimi and released in 1981 after a controversial battle over blood and gore. The film was refused by every US film distributor, until a European film company took it to Cannes. Although it was not received well by critics after it's opening, the film has become a cult classic. The film stars Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss and Betsy Baker. When a group of college kids go to an isolated cabin in the woods for a little vacation, strange things start happening when they find and play a tape that releases evil spirits. This flick is one of Raimi's campy, gruesome classics. If you haven't seen it, then chop, chop!
