Alone in the Dark (2005)
Worst movie ever
I have to say that this is the worst movie i have seen for a long, long time, maybe the worst movie i've EVER seen. The acting is terrible (you'd find more talent in the Thunderbirds marionettes) and i didn't understand what the hell was going on. Sitting through this movie can only be described as tedious and a waste of time that would be better spent trying to turn led into gold; setting myself on fire would have been a more enjoyable experience. I would say that the best part of this film was the end credits, but even saying that would give it too much praise. How do movies like this get made? Do these people have no scruples? If it were an animal, i'd have it put down out of pity.
Within the Woods (1978)
Parent to The Evil Dead
As an avid fan of The Evil Dead, Sam Raimi and, of course, Bruce Cambpell, it would be no surprise that i give this movie a 10 rating. But let me explain why: Elen Sandweiss and Bruce Campbell appear in this fantastic super-8 movie of a bunch of college kids in a house in the middle of the woods. Bruce's character isn't the chainsaw-toting Ash we all know and love, he is instead, quite simply: Bruce.
Many scenes in this movie are carried through into The Evil Dead, such as the doorstep scene, where Elen frantically tries to open the door to escape from The Force (no, not the Star-Wars Force, the cast and crew of The Evil Dead referred to the evil in the woods as "The Force"). But even for a movie that cost only $1000-odd to make and took a weekend to film this shows outstanding professionalism on everyone's part. The ground-breaking camera-angles are apparent even in this early movie.
The violence (which has become The Evil Dead's trademark) is in no short supply here. Despite the budget there's still lots of blood; screaming, wrist-chewing, knife-happy demons and of course, Indian burial grounds. Why not? All in all, definitely one to watch. It may be of poor quality but i still urge you to look for this and watch it. It will satisfy any horror/Campbell/Raimi/Evil Dead fan.
