The one. The only. The classic.
One of the original boogeyman films is still a classic. Some common horror elements used even now originated in this film and still work.

No CGI or campy effects in this film, just raw suspense. Certainly not a hugely bloody or gory horror movie, it relies on light and dark and some use of the "jump scare" before it even had a name.

I can't get the eerie theme music out of my head!

Time to rewatch!

Like Every Other Horror
I was hoping for more but sadly found this to be like any other horror film made even worse by the terrible makeup job they gave La Llorona. I will thank them for the lacking jump scares that I often find cheapen so many horror films. However, this is simply because the plot is so simplified that I find myself almost wishing for more jump scares, hoping for a part of this film that could actually scare me.

okay so let me start by saying i love a good scare and this mostly fit the bill as such there was good story telling and developing as well the plot moved right along my only complaint is the fact the villan stole kids souls thats scary and sadly all too relavent to people today and the movie is about 30 minutes longer then needed to be but aside from that it was fantastic

What is there to say about The Evil Dead that hasn't been said before? It's a bonafide genre classic, and a masterclass in what can be done with a tiny budget. The practical effects are equally impressive as they are gross. Tom Sullivans effects work is quite something, even all these years later. Combine all of this with Sam Raimis erratic, invasive, and sometimes nauseous camera work, and the result is a unique and disturbing horror ride that still has the capacity to scare 40 years on.

Also, Bruce fucking Campbell.
