The
Evil Dead (1982)
The
story of how director Sam Raimi got his start in the filmmaking
business is, understandably, well known amongst his own fan base, and
is common knowledge even with the more casual fans. With less 400,000
dollars, himself, some friends and close colleagues, one of which was
Bruce Campbell, who has been a consistent collaborator ever since
even with regards to the Raimi films in which he has not starred, the
upstart director headed down from Detroit to Tennessee to create what
became known as The Evil Dead. Mixing classic horror tropes
with some unexpected ingenuity, the film impressed many. Raimi's
journey as a filmmaker experienced a tremendous upswing from that
point onwards and things have never been the same.
