Evil Dead: Unique Comedy Horror
Before Sam Raimi fell off the wagon—that is to say went from making films for $100 to many millions, most recently the impressed but also terrible Spiderman franchise—he was just a boy with a dream, sneaking about with his friend Bruce Campbell. The pair of them would spend summer together larking about. With no budget to speak of, film-making equipment was either stolen, borrowed or made for cheap using house-hold equipment acquired by the pair and their friends.
When Evil Dead was being made, nobody had any idea of the effect it would have on cinema—especially the effect it would have on future horror films. Raw, unpolished and distinctly amateur, the film didn’t exactly get off to a good start. Pretty much nobody wanted to know about the film, and some of the actors involved in the making of it were so put off by the dire filming-schedule circumstances that they reportedly gave up acting for safer pursuits.
And who could have known that the film, which was not only cheap but corny, hilariously ill put-together in places, and badly lit and produced, would go on to become a cult classic? Not only that, but Evil Dead was remade with Evil Dead 2, and it didn’t stop there. Finally there was Army Of Darkness: a film which didn’t take itself too seriously. It was, to sum it up, a film which had finally hit the comedy-horror nail on the head.
After Evil Dead,
Strangely when I was looking up this stuff online just this morning and I came across a website covering microdermabrasion treatment. This seems like a good time to point out that this is something I have never even ponder before this moment, but following a little more investigation, I can’t help but want to try it, even if I did find it trying to search about zombies.
