REACTING to *The Evil Dead* THIS IS DISGUSTING!!! (First Time Watching) Horror Movies 

If you two ever decide to watch the sequels (which you should, they're great), you need to know something before watching the second movie. Don't worry, this is spoiler free, you just need to know this. It was made by another studio, who didn't have the rights to use the footage of the first movie. They couldn't afford to reshoot all the parts they needed with all the same actors (or even the same NUMBER of actors), so the opening is basically a remake of the first film, but with the story changed to have less characters. It's different, but still follows the same basic points. It's important to know because a lot of people (both at the time and to this day) watch it and think 'wait, this isn't what happened, what's going on? Did they just go back a second time or something?' No. It's meant to be the same story, but as said, there were real-world issues that stopped that from being the case. Just bite the bullet and pretend it makes sense.

The fact that Raimi was barely twenty one when he made this still blows my mind. His signature tongue-in-cheek comedy is fully realised in this movie and I love it

One of the greatest trilogies ever. And show. Each movie is practically a different genre. And they are ALL classics in there own way.

"This movie is so gross!" Sam Raimi: "Thank you!"

I love when horror directors make superhero movies

The movies in my opinion just get better. Each one has a different vibe. The first one is horror, the second is dark comedy/slapstick and the third is a campy adventure film . Each one is great for different reasons. The show is more in line with the second film and is definitely worth a watch.

A fun bit about the car. That is Sam's Mom's car*, a 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88, and he sneaks it into every film he does. He started doing it when they were kids making films with a Super8 camera. It is an Easter egg/running gag that continues to this day. Uncle Ben drove it in the original Spiderman. You can even see it in the recent Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. He's managed to sneak it into everything from a western to a version of the Wizard of Oz. If you see Sam's name in the titles you will likely find the car somewhere in the background. You will also likely find Bruce Campbell somewhere and his brother Ted Rami will likely be running around "Shemping" by playing at least two roles. *I read the book "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor" by Bruce Campbell back in 2002. In that book Bruce recounts the history of the car and I believe he said it was Sam's Mom's Car and as such was a frequent prop for the young director to use when they were young. 20 years have passed, so I could be remembering it wrong, it may have been his first car, but I am quite sure Bruce said it was Sam's Mother's.

🤣 I definitely get it. Sometimes graphics, make-up, or dialogue is just so bad it's good. Like an.. under appreciated art of getting it weird to the point of just right to be a win. Now I'm intrigued, I wanna see more. This reaction was priceless 👍. Recommends 80's: Little Shop of Horrors or Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

The craziest horror film ever made! This was the first film to recieve an NC 17 rating due to strong graphic violence and horror images.

The important thing to understand about The Evil Dead, is that this was basically a student film. It was made off of $375,000 that Sam Rami begged and borrowed from friends and family and local business owners, and then he made the movie with his brother and friends. With that $375,000 budget, The Evil Dead went on to make $29,400,000, and lauches the careers of Sam Raimi, Ted Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Robert Tapert. It is the series that established the "cabin in the woods" genre that you see everywhere. It wasn't the first, but it was the one to make it a thing. In its wake we got a whole load of them: - Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn - Cabin Fever - Antichrist - The Cabin In The Woods - etc etc etc - plus every Evil Dead game, and every wannabe The Evil Dead also cemented the axe, shotgun, and chainsaw as the iconic weapons of the zombie hunter. Because this movie was basically a student movie that was made with basically the loose change out of people's couches, Sam Rami couldn't quite make the movie that he envisioned. As a result he seems to be on a perpetual quest to remake this movie according to his original vision. Evil Dead 2 is a sequel that also functions as a MUCH higher budget remake, but deviates into a much more comedic tone. Evil Dead 4 (the 2013 movie) is ANOTHER sequel that functions as a remake, but this time with the full budget and seriousness to execute everything Rami originally envisioned.... except that Rami stepped back and served as the producer instead of directing it himself.... Sam Rami's movie Drag Me To Hell effectively functions as a spiritual member of the Evil Dead series - carrying on the same style, tones, themes, and similar ideas. Rami's Wizard Of Oz prequel, Oz The Great And Powerful, has The Evil Dead's DNA all over it. At times it is effectively the Wizard Of Oz version of Evil Dead scenes. This movie revolutionized horror movies. It's considered one of the most important horror films of all time. Horror movies got a lot more gory and dynamic in its wake. Also, it's worth noting, that as basically a student movie, this is actually the worst movie in series. After this movie is where they all REALLY figured it out. - Evil Dead 2 is kind of the same movie but way better. - "Evil Dead 3" AKA Army Of Darkness is a COMPLETELY different movie and BY FAR the best in the entire franchise. - Evil Dead "4" is the version of the original that is no longer a rough draft. Which gains it some amazing polish, but also loses some of the charm of the original's jank.🤷🏻‍♂️ - Ash vs Evil Dead (the TV show) is the Evil Dead franchise fully aware and comfortable with what it is, and really free to be itself and explore its mythology.

Fun slasher film. But my personal favorite is Evil Dead 2, a semi remake and sequel and so so funny. And Army of Darkness gives us 100% Ash… Groovy

Ash's abililty to take damage is somewhere between John Wick and Deadpool.

19:01 "sound is gonna haunt my nightmares" yo man no doubt...I remember the 1st time I watched this (was around midnight when I was a kid) you can guess how my night went~

The Evil dead: straight horror Evil dead 2: horror, comedy Army of darkness: action, comedy Ash vs evil dead: groovy The Necronomicon is the source of the candarian demons The candarian dagger is a deadite's weakness but they can still use it as a weapon. The dark force of the book can possess everything it comes in contact including humans obviously The deadite's are super creepy also there's no way to remove them back into humans unlike in the remake. Once a person turns that's it. You gotta kill them

After Nightmare on Elm Street, this is my second favourite horror film ever, to the point that when the show makes nods to the films I become a proper horror-geek and get super excited!

It's amazing how much Raimi achieved with the budget he had. Like it was said, the other 2 movies are worth the watch, even if the genre shifts from horror to comedy. Having different studios (and thus not having the rights to use the previous films as flashbacks) for each films meant that all films start differently than their predecessor ended, but the main plot stays the same. My favorite tidbit about the original film is that the cabin doesn't have a basement. All the shots upstairs would have a little hole instead, and the basement was built and filmed on a different location.

even after more than 20 years. for as deliberately campy or funny Sam Raimi makes his scenes, its genius, as it serves as a device to disarm the viewer to the more genuinely terrifying scenes so they hit that much harder; The *"HER EYES, OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO HER EYES"* gives me chills every single time.

This only cost about $350k total. Insane for how well it was done. Also, not a movie, but a movie game. You should personally check out Until Dawn for a great horror game that follows a lot of the tropes of the horror movie genre. It's 8ish hours long, but worth a play. Actually a good story with good mysteries behind it. It's basically a movie that has quick-time events while you walk around and explore. Not for the channel, but just for your own pleasure.

"Ash vs the evil dead" the series that came out in 2015 is hilarious and gruesome!

I remember thinking this was just awful.. then begrudgingly watched the 2nd one and loved it - proper gory horror again but so funny too this time.. Drag Me To Hell is a more recent film by Sam Raimi in the same vein.

"You don't look out the window when you hear 'join us!' ". Har.

Evil Dead 2 is basically a remake of Evil Dead but slightly different. Must watch.

I saw this movie in the cinema when it was released in the early 80s. There was screaming from the audience and some people actually walked out because they couldn't handle the grossness.

The 'movies and the TV series can all be summed up in one word... "GROOVY". You also might want to scope out RU-vid for Evil Dead...the Musical. From what I've seen, it was better than the reboot.

Cabin in the Woods absolutely was inspired by this film...one of the possible monsters for the scenario that appears on the white board is "angry molesting tree."

There's 2 sequels and a remake, all of which are great. It's one of those rare instances where the quality doesn't go down. Granted, the sequels become more comedic, but the remake is pure horror.

"so that really got weird" lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Glad that you watched this. You should watch the other 2 movies as well which are really good ! xx

OMG is is one of my favorite franchises!! You need to watch the whole trilogy, show AND the Evil Dead Musical!! I myself have been in the musical two years straight and it gets so fun and campy 😂

Its honestly incredible to see what Sam Raimi managed to accomplish on a budget of only $375k

The ending of the 1st movie has the demon fly up into Ash's face. There is a scene in the 2nd movie part way through where this happens too, and from there to the end of the film is all original material. The first part is a truncated recap of Evil Dead because the studio didn't own the rights. I love the first ED, it is pure horror. Evil Dead 2 is my favorite, it adds in even more gonzo scenes and some really funny humor. Evil Dead 3 (called Army of Darkness because of more studio problems) is - for better or worse - like a Three Stooges comedy horror. It has some good parts for sure, but isn't my favorite of the trilogy.

As others have mentioned, each movie in the trilogy has a different tone and each movie was owned by a different studio... so even though one continues directly into the next, they have some minor differences between them as "recaps" of the previous events and how the next chapter plays out. The first movie is straight horror. The second is a horror comedy. The third is slapstick fantasy. My personal favorite is the second one. You can see Raimi's directing style coming into its own and some nice satire of the genre, turning a few popular horror cliches on its head.

I know this was 7 months ago, but I hope you guys finish the rest of the series!! This us a personal favorite series of mine, including the 2013 reboot and the TV show!!

This is my favorite of the “Evil Dead” franchise and one of the greatest horror films ever made.

There are some awesome Sam Rami horrors out their like my favorites are Drag Me to Hell from 2009 and The Possession 2012. Sometimes they can be goofy but they are good recommendations to see.

Just beware that in the sequel, while it IS a sequel, the first couple of minutes is a soft reboot (featuring another actress and no friends) because when they got budget to do it they didn't have the rights for what happened in the original movie.

The beginning of a awesome career. Fun fact, for crying scenes (they were all rookies) they used onions to make themselves tear up) And the car is a staple of all Rami films (he tries to sneak it into all his movies) .

I love low-budget films in that it's like watching a magic show. Some times you can see how they did the trick, but if they fool you 60% of the time you're left saying "how did they do that?" Whereas big-budget generally has the same answer.

I hope you do the sequels. Bruce is in all three and the last one is hilarious

I am so excited to see you react to the rest of this trilogy! And the TV show is GREAT, but you need the movies first. You'll have a campy, messy, RAIMI blast!

Oh I can’t wait for Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness reactions, you guys are going to have a groovy time ;)

Evil Dead is Groovy! Bay BAY

I've loved Sam & Ted Raimi and Bruce Campbell since I first saw this movie. When they all came together with Rob Tapert for the tv series' Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and it's spin-off, Xena: Warrior Princess, loved those 2 tv shows. I haven't gotten my hands on the Hercules dvd set yet but I do own the Xena dvd collection. Now those would be 2 old tv shows from the 90's to explore if you haven't seen them. Just don't start Xena until after the Season 1 episode of Hercules called Unchained Heart. Xena's premier story starts in Hercules - Season 1 Episode 9 "The Warrior Princess". Then continues in Season 1- Episode 12 "The Gauntlet". Then concludes in Season 1 - Episode 13 "Unchained Heart" before Xena:Warrior Princess Season 1 premiered. There are other cross-over episodes in both shows and Lucy Lawless (Xena) appears as 2 other characters in earlier episodes of Hercules.

"Do something, Ash!" Yeah, this is not the Ash to do something. I really hope you watch the sequels. I think it's fair to say you will meet the Ash who does something. Welcome to a fantastic journey! If you do watch Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, I'd also enjoy watching you react to the series that follows after these films as well as the 2013 reboot movie.

Hope you finish the Evil Dead trilogy and watch Peter Jackson's Braindead (aka 'Dead Alive') and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil as well. You'll love em.

The effort that went into these films…. Incredible. Follow it up! Keep going! Trust me! Evil dead 2 is evil dead… with a budget, and army of darkness is the follow up to that.

The sequel was hilarious, the remake was brutal, and I haven't seen the TV series, but I know that he reunites with his Xena costar Lucy Lawless.

Hope you guys continue to watch the next two and the series. Trust us fans it just gets better and better.

You guys are gonna love the second one. Welcome to my favorite movie franchise of all time.

gosh, oh boy i love the evil dead movies sam rami is such a good director and just make good movie!!!!! also keep it up love the videos = )

Three pretty good movies, even if quite different from each other. Klaatu Barada!

This isn't the one I thought it was. I thought evil dead was drag me to hell. I haven't seen this my eyes😵‍💫 what did I just watch!

This is not Sam Raimi's first movie, not even his first feature. It's just the first he made with intention of getting properly distributed and shown in theaters/drive-ins.

You definitely have to watch ED2! It’s my favourite movie, not just out of the trilogy, but of all time.

If you guys every wanna watch another musical, I'd suggest Evil Dead the Musical lol. Better than you think, I promise

80’s were awesome and insanely scary

Great reaction!

I love the reactions i think you guys should check out the skeleton key its a horror/thriller and the plot twist are fire its honestly super creepy once you connect everything

Love your reactions guys. I highly recommend. Batman Beyond. Return of the Joker. Trust me, your going to love it!

Need to watch this movie with the lights out 😳

Evil Dead is great, Army of Darkness is great, but Evil Dead II is a transcendent work of art.

These were one of my favorite horror series. When I was in Jr high or high school I saw the trailer for Army of Darkness and about 💩 meself. None of my friends knew what I was talking about. So I made ‘em all watch ‘em.

Evil Dead 2 is one of my favorites of all time. And what is cool is the way they made it, you don't have to see the first one in order to watch that one.

If you do all the movies you gotta check out the TV series. It's ridiculously gory and I love it

If this is too much gore for you then you might want to skip the 2013 remake. It holds the record for most fake blood used in a scene: 70.000 gallons! It's a great horror movie though

its a great movie one the "video nasties" in the early 80s it go put on the Ban list it even got cut too the "tree branch" part was removed. you have to watch the next two and as Madkatz says about the 2nd. Sam Raimi did the movies, he also did the original Spider man ones with Tobey McGuire and the latest Dr Strange if you havent seen i wont spoil that one.

I been to the place where this was filmed.

This was such a low budget film but it worked and turned into iconic

4:41 Ignore the fact that they're using an electric blender in a cabin with no electricity.

Oh you must watch all of these. It's really fun.

Have to watch part 2 most definitely lord of the rings prequel 😉Actually part 3 is my second favorite

My very unpopular opinion: This movie is amazing. Love it. Work of art. All the other movies in the series...trash. Hate them. They get so damn stupid.

second ones my favourite, its gory but also more comedy

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I CAN WAIT FOR YOU TO SEE EVIL DEAD 2!!!!!!!!!

I remember watching this movie when I was six it traumatized me

Evil Dead II works boyh as a sequel and a remake

Love Evil Dead 🤘great movie

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

If you guys have the chance. Watch the re-make of Evil Dead (2013). It's the same crew who made the original.

A TRUE... Horror film Classic, Sam Raimi's: The Evil Dead will always feel inventive and eerily creepy (especially for its time), an amazing 1st effort from the film Master Raimi; even nowadays if I'm walking down a street alone or whatever I can Feel a growling demon somewhere out there in the darkness coming for me LOL 😂 👹👹👹

Watching bride of Chucky.

Do yall pretend to watch the remake? Its a lot of fun :D

18:50 Because its hand was halfway cutoff..

I hope you watch the sequels to this and the 2013 remake, it's so good!

Have you react to Sam Raimi's other film: "Drag Me to Hell"?

From what I've heard the budget for this movie was around 400,000$. And is still better than movies that have 10x that.. mad inspiration 🙏🔥

It’s a classic! Bruce Cambal was in a serious of great movies. There’s was some great Bhorror films at the time. I’d spend some time checking out LEGION, Marvels best TV show that aired on FX. It’s definitely in my top three of all time✌

all i remember about this film is the gore, i don’t remember a single plot line lol

You should check out evil dead the videogame it just came out

Best movie ever made

If you guys do continue the sequels, you should also definitely watch the 2013 remake. It’s honestly a great remake that pays so much homage to the original and adds a great underlying theme about drug addiction which I say pulled at my heartstrings a little. If you do then watch the unrated version. It was directed by the same guy who made “Don’t Breathe” from 2016.

Also, they are Possessed. Not zombies Not really. We call em Deadites.

Bruce Campbell was the hot dog sales man in doctor strange multi verse of madness

Awesome 👏

This movie is insane, but good. When I first seen this movie, I was surprised Sam Rami was the director! This was my first time seeing his horror films! 😂

one of the best horror movies of all time

Hail to the king!!

gotta watch part 2. top notch!!

watch Army of Darkness...it's the best Rami film.

If you wanna watch a truly scary movie, watch “The Possession” with Jeffrey dean Morgan in a dark room! (Mostly dark so we can still see ya lol!! ) I’m telling you it is superrrr creepy! Great actors and great film! You won’t regret it! Even if you don’t do it for the reaction on here, it’s a must see!
