Where to Watch The Evil Dead
- Kevin WardJuly 3, 2025So….Evil Dead….Why the hell did I wait so long to watch this? It’s like exactly my $h*%. Practical effects and gore that still look great. I will say the one benefit of waiting so long is that being more familiar with the actor that Bruce Campbell has become, and then seeing him here is kind of a trip. He’s so fresh faced, young and green here.
