The Evil Dead
Okay man this was it. My stuff definitely. Though I do have some critism about my stuff.
The absurd horror was amazing but the pacing was just bad. Not because of the absurd horror but because the dialogue was very chunky, characters were poor and some situations made no sense.
Their friend is screaming in the top of their lungs and they're just going there without any emotion. Could be the acting too. The dialogue didn't support the pacing well. After the first act the film had literally no dialogue and the film was just absurd horror all around.
Don't get me wrong I'm all for absurd horror but I think this film didn't have anything else going. No dialogue, barely any character interactions just these demons in every corner.
What's great? A lot. I mean I wouldn't have given this 4 star rating if it wasn't great. I'm extremely taken away by the directing. Raimi did an incredible job. The close up shots, moon shots and angles were all shot with such talent. Sam Raimi you're amazing.
And the Raimi glaze doesn't stop there. His special effects were incredible for its budget. The gore was just immaculate. Really just great.
First act was by far the best. I think the tension in this act is so well done. It's slow but it's tense. Every tense scene is like 4 minute long even though normally in horror films they're way shorter. In this act I was considering a 4.5 star rating.
The atmosphere is so Friday the 13th cloned. It's so spooky and eerie. The 80s cabin vibes. I LOVEH IT!
Evil Dead was so good. Definitely gonna check out Evil Dead 2.
7.5
