Evil Dead is something only for very, very die-hard fans of Evil Dead II and III (which are orders of magnitude superior). Don't hold number one against them.

The crew really got their act together for Evil Dead II (which might as well have been called "The film we would have made if we'd known what the hell we were doing back then"). The first film is like the first few series of Star Trek The Next Generation - utterly, ludicrously appallingly bad, and fans are lucky that somehow the products survived to become much better.
