"The Evil Dead" is a film made by Sam Raimi, the director of the "Spider-Man" series in 1981. The series has a total of three films and has always been talked about by Cult Film fans. Throughout the whole film, only the word "fighting" can barely describe the sensory impact the film brings to the audience. Like most B-level horror films, the plot itself is so pale that the director's real focus lies in the creation of the atmosphere and the setting of the horror scenes one after another.
