1978 - WITHIN THE WOODS, the super 8 warmup for The Evil Dead series.

When will people finally stop  partying on sacred Indian burial grounds?  This is the question posed by Sam Raimi's warm up for the Evil Dead series made on the whooping budget of $1600.00 bucks.

All the Raimi tricks are here at the beginning of his career, the camera running through the woods, the possession stuff and the slapstick blood splattered killing stuff. Let's not forget Bruce Campbell who has been associated with Raimi for a long time.  It's interesting to see him use the same tricks over and over in his subsequent films.

You get what you get watching a film made by a couple of guys starting out in their careers and filming in super 8.
