The Evil Dead (1981) – The Ultimate Cabin in the Woods Horror | 60-Second Review

Before Evil Dead 2 brought humor and Army of Darkness went full action, The Evil Dead (1981) was pure, relentless horror. With a tiny budget, insane practical effects, and a terrifying atmosphere, Sam Raimi turned this film into one of the most legendary cult horror movies of all time.

The setup? Simple. A group of friends heads to a cabin in the woods, finds the Necronomicon, and accidentally unleashes flesh-possessing demons. What follows is nonstop horror, as Ash Williams (played by Bruce Campbell) is forced to fight off his possessed friends, gallons of blood, and pure madness.

With its wild camera work, shocking gore, and relentless pacing, The Evil Dead feels as intense today as it did in 1981. It’s raw, brutal, and completely unhinged horror.

In this quick 60-second review, we break down why The Evil Dead is still one of the greatest horror films ever made.
