Creepshow (1982)
I have to tell you that I'm getting a kick out of the new BD format, because a lot of hard to find movies are being reissued on the said format and is readily available again (some are gems, others...)
Case in point, Creepshow! I never saw it in the cinema when it first came out, not on VHS, not on LD not on DVD until now!
.........

Creepshow is one of the rare gems that didn't really get much attention..
Creepshow 1 is awesome, 5 different stories...
Creepshow 2 is still good, but only 3 stories instead of 5.. but please, at any cost,
AVOID CREEPSHOW 3! It's such an epic fail.. not by original writers, and didn't make sense, it's way too retarded..! Trust me, you will regret watching the 3rd.. I did.

Truthfully, the closes movie to Evil Dead 1 & 2 I can think of would be The Blair Witch Project. Bare in mind that when Evil Dead first come out, it was considered very progressive! (I'm getting crucified for this)
Hope this helps!
I disagree.. Blair Witch is nowhere near Evil Dead 1 & 2.. I found Blair Witch to be extremely dull, boring and a waste of time. If you want a better 'documentary', watch Cannibal Holocaust.. it came out in the 70s, and I think Blair Witch was based on it, and it's way better. It's just that I was deeply, EXTREMELY disturbed after watching
Cannibal Holocaust when I was 11, that I lost my appetite for a week and vowed never to watch it again but it might be your cup of tea. lol
In my opinion, if you want something similar to Evil Dead 1 & 2, you'd have to refer to the classics.. NONE of the recent movies, that's after the 90s can be considered close to what the classics used to be.. exception to maybe a few... hmm maybe you can try looking at classics like
Brain Dead/Dead Alive (by Peter Jackson),
Zombi (Lucio Fulci)... or even
The Dead Trilogies by George A. Romero...
City of the Living Dead...or
Demons 1 & 2 (Lamberto Bava).. these are some of my faves that I consider in par or better than Evil Dead.


Ohhh! I just remembered.. anyone watched THE SUBSPECIES SERIES?... It's another rare gems that should be appreciated.. those who loves vampire will definitely enjoy this..
Subspecies on Wikipedia
Subspecies
Bloodstone: Subspecies II
Bloodlust: Subspecies III
Vampire Journals
Subspecies 4: BloodstormSubspecies series has been one of my vampire faves since I was 9

It's not that scary, the makeup effect is not bad though.. but Vampire Radu and his love/attachment/involvement with his fledgling Michelle what makes the movie and the story good.
