This short film was mostly made to show the Investors what kind of feature length horror film to what Sam Raimi and his friends are trying to make. it went on to premiere in front of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that was playing in Detroit, most of the audience really loved the short film but, it wasn't a commercially success. Sam Raimi went to Approaching several investors in order to make his feature length horror entitled,"The Evil Dead." The plot of the film is the same as the movies teens hang out in the woods and get pick off by the spirit and demons one by one. The quality of the short film is pretty bad looking, it's kind of hard to see, which it's understandable because, it was shot in a super 8 camera. There are parts in the film that will later be recycle in the other films, that you will recognize. the Necronomicon book is not in this film instead is a dagger. the only actors that appear in "The Evil Dead" are Bruce Campbell and Ellen Sandweiss, the difference in the film is Bruce in the short film is Possess by the spirit and Ellen is the hero but,in the movie Ellen gets Possess by the spirit and Bruce is the hero. Not really a big fan of the music, i just find the music not scary and also, there is one music piece that came from "Jaws." I personally find the short film not scary at all but, i got to give it credit for helping Sam and his friends to Make one of the best horror films ever made.

Let me start off by saying that the version I saw of this looked and sounded horrible, but even despite that, I loved every second of it. So much of what we would see in the shoestring-budget "Evil Dead" (and it's not-as-shoestring first sequel) is on display here in micro form, and after over a decade of being a fan of the series, I sat in amazement and marveled at this 8mm prototype. It was also surprising to see that that "force POV" cam was there from the get-go, madly sweeping through the woods in its evil pursuits. This is a must-see for the fans, so if any Deadite can get their hands on this, it's likely you'll be as spellbound as I was.

As an avid fan of The Evil Dead, Sam Raimi and, of course, Bruce Cambpell, it would be no surprise that i give this movie a 10 rating. But let me explain why: Elen Sandweiss and Bruce Campbell appear in this fantastic super-8 movie of a bunch of college kids in a house in the middle of the woods. Bruce's character isn't the chainsaw-toting Ash we all know and love, he is instead, quite simply: Bruce.Many scenes in this movie are carried through into The Evil Dead, such as the doorstep scene, where Elen frantically tries to open the door to escape from The Force (no, not the Star-Wars Force, the cast and crew of The Evil Dead referred to the evil in the woods as "The Force"). But even for a movie that cost only $1000-odd to make and took a weekend to film this shows outstanding professionalism on everyone's part. The ground-breaking camera-angles are apparent even in this early movie.The violence (which has become The Evil Dead's trademark) is in no short supply here. Despite the budget there's still lots of blood; screaming, wrist-chewing, knife-happy demons and of course, Indian burial grounds. Why not? All in all, definitely one to watch. It may be of poor quality but i still urge you to look for this and watch it. It will satisfy any horror/Campbell/Raimi/Evil Dead fan.

This is great film, and also EVIL DEAD is continuation of Within The Woods. Quality of this film isn't good. But idea, and everything is making that this film is very good... I think many peoples should try to show their ideas. It would be very very interesting.
