The tension of The Evil Dead still holds up well. You begin to feel like you’re trapped in the cabin with the characters. I’ve heard people complain about the actors. That makes no sense to me, as I think this has one of the best casts of any low-budget indie movies I’ve seen. Maybe people don’t realize this takes place around the ’50s, which explains the corny dialogue. The only part that hasn’t aged well is the childish chanting of the monsters. Annoying as hell.
