I watched "Evil Dead" and wrote a review of it for the bad movie page, but Sam told me that he thought that the series was one of those spoofs that was intentionally bad. That kind of clouded my perception of it, so I didn't have the review posted. If I can get at least one other independant confirmation that "The Evil Dead" (just the original, at least) really *was* a bad movie and not a spoof or an intentionally bad movie, then I'll have Sam post the review ASAP.
Okay, here's the deal. "The Evil Dead" was intended to be a serious horror flick, but it was just too bad to take seriously. "Evil Dead 2" is a spoof of the first movie; same setting, same character, same events (well, roughly), but made cheesy on purpose. "Army of Darkness" was intended to be a comedy from the get-go.
