Long befre the huge success of his SpiderMan films in the 2000s, director Sam Raimi was a young independent filmmaker fascinated by horror movies. He used cheap film cameras to make his movies, one of which was The Evil Dead. With a very small budget, Raimi created his own fantasy world with some bizarre special effects. The plot followed five college students on holiday in an isolated cabin in the woods during the school break, where they find a Book of the Dead that can unleash evil demons. The Evil Dead remains a cult classic with a great mix of dark humour and fast paced horror.
