Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The best and goriest Evil Dead has ever looked.
Evil Dead is the 1981 original classic Sam Raimi film from the cult favorite Evil Dead and Army of Darkness franchise. This ambitious, creative horror film was produced on a legendarily shoestring budget and is in many ways darker, more twisted and dramatic than the somewhat wittier and more comedic affairs that followed it.
The 4K UHD tenders the original 4:3 aspect ratio the movie first played in. It was shot on 16mm film and this transfer goes straight to the source, which allows it to fully capitalize on the UHD format's maximum resolution. It's never looked more detailed, vivid, rich and authentically filmic at home thanks to a great transfer and new technology.
Highly recommended for any Evil Dead fan and any 4K ready horror fans. You will be surprised at how amazing it looks on a great display.
Ashley "Ash" Williams (Bruce Campbell), his girlfriend and three pals hike into the woods to a cabin for a fun night away. There they find an old book, the Necronomicon, whose text reawakens the dead when it's read aloud. The friends inadvertently release a flood of evil and must fight for their lives or become one of the evil dead. Ash watches his friends become possessed, and must make a difficult decision before daybreak to save his own life in this, the first of Sam Raimi's trilogy.
Classic low budget Horror film is to this viewers eyes, undeniably improved in 4k. The impact of this film is undeniably improved by the higher resolution 4k and big screen Tv's offer. Film like this made with low-budget now almost 30 years ago deserves some respect as it continues to draw audiences. Some of the edge is off a bit thus the 4 instead of 5 stars. Put it in perspective though, it;s a 1981 film that still has energy!! Gotta recommend this to those who love the films that get tagged supernatural horror.
