Evil Dead Movie Reviews















(1978) - Within the Woods - The "pilot" to the first "Evil Dead" film.

(1981) - The Evil Dead - A jaunt into the woods for a weekend full of sex is awesome, that is until you decide to read the Necronomicon.

(1987) - Evil Dead 2 - Ash is back but so is the Book of the Dead.

(1993) - Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness - Ash has gone back in time to get back to the present, but the Deadites won't let him.

(????) - Evil Dead 4: - Rumored always to be in talks.
...here's what Bruce Campbell states:
"Sam and I love those movies and we owe everything to them. They are what got us into this business. But Sam has five kids - he's a family man. And those movies are an absolute physical pain in the ass to make. So whenever we see each other, it's not like 'Man, we've got to make another one of those movies.' And I'm under a five-year contract for a TV show in the States [Burn Notice] which is doing well and it ain't going to get canceled in the foreseeable future. So I have a day job that I can't just walk away from."

He added... "I wouldn't make it if Sam didn't make it. I wouldn't do it if Sam didn't direct it - that would be ridiculous. But here's the real bottom line. We'd work for two years making that movie, working our asses off, then people would watch it and go 'It's OK, but not as good as Army of Darkness.' I know it, I just know it. Because look at Indiana Jones 4 - that movie was forced down people's throats. That was not brought back by popular demand. That was a couple of high-powered players going 'Let's try that again.' I took a poll because I was in 22 States with this movie [My Name is Bruce], and the Evil Dead 4 question always comes up. And I say 'One, two, three - raise your hands if you wanted Indiana Jones 4' and two hands would go up in a 300 seat theater. That's your answer right there." - 2/1/09
