The Evil Dead (1981)


The horror classic that started it all for me. Five friends drive to a cabin in the woods and are terrorized by malevolent spirits that they unwittingly release back from the dead. An over-the-top gore fest dripping with blood and cheesy laughs. The last 15 minutes are still some of the best in cinema. The beginning of both Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell's careers, and there couldn't have been a better marriage.
