What's "Evil Dead"?
Absolutely. A brilliant series of movies. Unfortunately they're remaking the original, which is complete fuckin' nonsense! But whatever.

We only watch good movies here. So take your "Evil Dead" as you call it and get out. I'm going to review The Happening later, which is THE cult classic.

The happening was terrible...
No one in the theatre could stop laughing at the bad dialogue and cheesy plot.

Take your garbage somewhere else. We only watch good movies here? Well according to the official horror.com top 100 list, Evil Dead ranks at #8 beating the likes of The Shining and other great classics, so I guess your part of the very few who think its a bad movie.
If you don't have anything positive to say, don't say anything at all. Respect the original poster's opinion.
You could of given your input about The Happening without bashing the original poster like that.

Ever heard of Little Shop of Horrors?
Or Day of the Triffids?
There are other films with killer plants, but those are the only two I can think of this early.

And congratulations to Neverending! For being the first person to use the word "classic" and actually post a film that falls into the category. You win!

Evil Dead 2 is dope but I'm not a fanboy. There's a lot more to horror than the Evil Dead flicks.
Made a bootleg of Within The Woods and Evil Dead: The Musical the other day. Might give it a watch this Sunday when I'm in vegeout mode.

I completely agree that Evil Dead is in my opinion the best cult movie out there. But that's because Sam Raimi's troupe is darn likeable.

Evil Dead is a great classic. In my opinion probably the other best horror made next to The Exorcist. I will be very interested to see what a remake looks like. Especially with the great advancement of technology compared the effects used in the early 80's.

Those effects are part of its charm. I cannot imagine The Evil Dead without em.
Is Bruce Campbell gonna be in it?
correction, serial rapist plants.
I stand corrected.

Jumanji has killer plants. My mom GROWS killer plants.

Bruce Campbell is just a producer I think. I agree that the lack of technology is what made that film a cult classic. Especially the scenes where Bruce "Ashe" runs away from the deadite and the audience can see the tops of each of the walls and the stage ceiling. It is a great movie, but the remake is not going to be able to hold a candle. That is why I will try to think of it like it's own movie. It'll be easier to digest it.

After looking at this thread I decided it was about time I finally saw this movie. I usually don't care for demon movies, but this one was fantastic! And as silly as some of the effects are, they definitely give the movie a large part of its appeal.

What? Does cult classic status expire after a period of time?
