After playing a recording of the Book of the Dead found in a seemingly abandoned cabin in the woods and unleashing an evil force that possesses his girlfriend, Ash (Bruce Campbell) is forced into a macabre battle for his life. When four strangers appear in the midst of his mad scramble for survival, more and more possessions and gory deaths pile up.
"A ghoulish splatter comedy that uses wildly excessive gore to provoke the kind of shock that lies between a laugh
and a scream."
— Dave Kehr
"Just when things start getting too grisly, Raimi rushes in with a hilarious, sendup joke to remind us that all this blood and guts is meant in spooky
Grand Guignol fun."
— Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"A flashy good-natured display of special effects and scare tactics so extreme they can only be taken for laughs."
— Variety
