But with ambiance and tone established early on, The Evil Dead makes for a great and exciting horror feature. Granted, the film obviously doesn't shy away from the gore and graphic violence. It serves as proof that atmosphere and mood can yield a truly fun and frightening experience, not just blood and guts alone. Equal parts slapstick comedy with genuinely scary moments, Sam Raimi's directorial debut is a testimony to what can be accomplished with a limited budget, a great deal of imagination, and an intense passion for making movies. The best way to describe The Evil Dead and the entire series which followed ( The Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness) is as a hysterical and ferocious funhouse of the macabre and the gorily grotesque.
