Evil Dead: Ultimate Edition Review:

  I know what your all thinking.....ANOTHER Evil Dead DVD release! Don't I already have 5 or 6 of these? Why do I need this version too? Well all these answers to all these questions plus a whole lot more will be answered in this very review!

  I will proceed with this review in a different way than I do most of them as I expect anyone who even has a passing intrest in horror films will know the film and the stories behind the production and it's boom in the wake of the 80's video boom.

This is the first edition of EVIL DEAD to have 3 discs which include both the anamorphic widescreen transfer and the full-frame 1.33:1 aspect ratio transfer together in one package. Both versions of the film are presented on seperate discs and have the best transfers of the film that fans have seen to date. I did notice however that a few moments on the widescreen transfer seem to be washed out and the sound dips ever so slightly but thats a small gripe considering all the substandard VHS and DVD Versions out there still.

 Now to answer the question of Why buy ANOTHER copy of The Evil Dead and is this truley the "Ultimate" edition of The Evil Dead? Read on to find out!
