2022 movie #55. 1981. I'd seen the more tongue-in-cheek sequels but the original was a more straightforward horror movie on a severe budget. Buckets of blood and undead monsters which I found more humorous than scary. A very young Bruce Campbell. ( )

Five young people go to a remote cabin in a spooky woods and nothing could possibly go wrong.

Too ridiculous to be scary, and too seriously trying to disturb to be much fun.
