Evil Dead, The

The Evil Dead (1981)
Dir: Sam Raimi

Five friends spending the weekend in a remote cabin accidentally unleash a demonic evil force.
A classic film that is as powerful today as it ever was. It has some impressively gory special effects, and despite its small budget, it's really well made. The story, though simple, is very well told considering the film's constraints and at times it is truly scary. A solid film with a star making performance from Bruce Campbell.
