"This is the second real horror movie I’ve ever seen and I’ve been hooked ever sense. When I first saw it it scared the **** out of me but rewatching it now it more campy crazy fun which Sam does best. A simple horror story but in Sam’s hands turns it into to its own beast. I so glad this was my first Exposure to horror cause it really has it all! A true classic! "
"The movie that started it all in this franchise and has become one of the most influential horror movies of all time. This also is the beginning of a franchise that doesn't truly have any bad movies in it. While the gore effects don't hold up today, they're still impressive for the time. This doesn't have the slapstick that Bruce Campbell's later work (starting with Evil Dead 2) is known for, so that will drag the movie down for anyone who started on the sequels. This is the beginning of the legacy of the best final guy in horror, and it belongs in any horror buff's library for that reason alone. "
