My Review-

Ladies and Gentlemen I have reached Day 300 for my quest at watching one movie a day this year, and today I picked a movie to fit with what is going to night, a party at my friend's cabin so I chose to watch the original Evil Dead and man was this movie freaking awesome. I picked the perfect movie to hit 300 Days with and I am glad I finally got to finish the dam thing. With this being Sam Raimi's first movie he did a really really great job to start his career with and establish himself as an awesome director not including Spider-Man. This is one of the only other horror movies that actually had me scared most of the time since this was  a pretty trippy movie and I liked every minute of it, especially the parts that made me jump out of my seat. Now I can see why Bruce Campbell has become a cult icon since this movie came out his character Ash was so awesome and helped make the movie as good as it was. This movie blended horror and comedy together well like some of my favorite moves in this time of genre. I also really liked the special effects in the movie and it seemed like some of them were done in camera. After watching this I hope the remake can live up to the expectations of this one since this one seems like it should have never been touched, but after seeing the trailer for it and finally seeing this movie I have high hopes for the new movie. I think this WILL go on my list of my top horror movies, since it really had me scared at times and I miss that in a lot of horror films these days. I feel like I have missed out on so much by waiting this long to watch this movie, and know that I have finally watched it I am glad that this movie was number 300. This is one movie one to be added to the list of "Must Watch", if you have have not seen it yet, I know I loved it. I hope you do too.
