If nothing else, it serves as inspiration to new filmmakers by demonstrating what can be done on a small budget. It's cheesy and cheap, but it's also wildly creative and inventive. You can see everything Raimi learned in this film in his later films.<br /><br />That said, I think 7.7 is a really fair rating. It's not by any stretch a "great" film. It's loads of fun, though, and important for what it is--gory, silly B-horror that is (sometimes) entertaining in spite of itself.SJhoneywellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-22967854801304813742012-02-25T08:02:47.049-08:002012-02-25T08:02:47.049-08:00Nice classic here!

It creates a tension and brings the viewer into the territory of Horror.

I tried watching this a few months ago but couldn't make it through. I guess I was more hyped into trying to watch it again rather than actually wanting to watch it. I know this is a huge cult hit to a lot of people, but it's never really been one of my favorites. I can't deny it's significance in the film world, but ya know....

It's not my genre and so predictably the movie didn't do much for me. I realized during the tree rape scene that I had actually heard classmates talking about this movie way back when it first came out. That was the scene that a guy kept describing over and over again to anyone in the school that would listen to him.<br /><br />I did actually kind of like the first sequel. I was a little disappointed by the third only because I had heard that it was the funniest of the three, but I thought the second one was funnier.Chiphttp://tipsfromchip.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-46251358925102641492012-02-25T08:02:37.033-08:002012-02-25T08:02:37.033-08:00Nice review.

I don't think I can bring myself to watch it again. I agree that it's an interesting glimpse into the beginning of Campbell and Raimi's careers and so I can't fault it too much because they are legends.Jasonhttp://genkinahito.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-26557405344469649542012-02-25T08:01:03.946-08:002012-02-25T08:01:03.946-08:00Seven really, were you terrified?Seven really, were you terrified?Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-18300263402156643262012-02-25T08:01:03.365-08:002012-02-25T08:01:03.365-08:00 Yep its the first of a trilogy so it would make a...
