I saw the Evil Dead movies...especially Evil Dead 1. This movie was pure non stop horror, with no infusion of comedy...they didn't even give you time to relax..a classic! Greatest Horror of all time.
I thought I had seen The Evil Dead (aka Evil Dead 1), but I just bought the BluRay of the recently remastered & re-released disc. Apparently, I had never seen this one. Apparently, they show ED2 on teevee a lot, but not the first one. I liked ED1 a lot, but you're right, there is no infusion of comedy. Not like ED2 & Army of Darkness which were obviously played for laughs. And, man, does Bruce Campbell ever look young in ED1 - like he's barely out of his teens.
Given the small budget they had to work with, ED1 is amazingly well done.
