Trivia:
The references to A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) were the conclusion to an unspoken battle of "can-you-top-this" between Sam Raimi and Wes Craven. In Bill Warren's book The Evil Dead Companion, it says that Raimi took the torn Jaws (1975) poster in Craven's The Hills Have Eyes (1977) to mean that Craven was saying that his movie was even scarier than Jaws. Raimi included a torn Hills poster in The Evil Dead (1981) to send the same message. Craven responded by including a scene of Nancy watching The Evil Dead in Nightmare. Raimi responded to that with a scene of a destroyed Nightmare poster in Evil Dead II. more

... in the evil dead series. From the very beginning I couldn't stop smiling... every time I saw Bruce Campbell i laughed and every time there was a fight I chuckled. It is an extremely fun movie with a no mercy attitude. Sam Raimi perfects his shaky cam shots and first persons and makes for the most enjoyable experience in a long time. The plot is sturdy (identical to Evil Dead) and the technology is painful (purposefully). The movie moves leisurely from event to event. The supporting cast are stupid and bring more trouble to the film (a much needed element) and the best part is, the carnage starts 5 minutes into the movie. A no-think great movie, possibly the best movie the horror genre has turned out in the last 20 years.
