/100
The Evil Dead is built around supernatural horror: a demonic force, escalating fear, and graphic/creepy imagery that define the experience. It would not function as a non-horror film; any humor or camp is secondary to the core horror identity.
DREADPICK SUMMARY
Best for viewers looking for a very scary, high-tension, atmosphere-heavy and very gory horror movie.
