(Paste Magazine) Sam Raimi to re-release "Evil Dead" in theaters: "Nothing punishes an audience like Evil Dead - especially on the big screen. I'm really glad it's back. People are gonna be hurt"
lostinspace1978:Heroic Poser: GristleDick: I'm a big horror fan, and I think all the Evil Dead movies are stupid and overated. And Bruce Cambell is a big hambone.

Yeah, whenever someone says something is "overrated", 9x out of 10, it went a little over their head. It's rated just fine, you just didn't get it got hijacked by one of their annoying friends, so now they think it's stupid out of spite.
uh, I love the Evil Dead series and all but if you think someone is retarded or "just didn't get it" (cause Evil Dead requires a lot to get, ya know) because they don't like the movie, you are nerd, and not the good kind.

You do realize that for the 1/10th of all allegedly overrated things there are fans who would tell you that you just don't get it and that their thing does indeed belong in the 9 out of 10 not-overrated category right?
I watched all the Evil Dead Movies when the first came out, well before a bunch of sheeplike fanfoys started jerking off to them . I TRIED to like them. I WANTED to like them. They're stupid and cheesey, and not in a good way.

No, the series is absolutely overrated. All cult films are, because the fans gush so effusively about how such-and-so film is the greatest movie experience of all time, there's no possible way any cult movie (or TV series, book, etc) can live up to the hype for a first-time viewer.
The Evil Dead series is great fun, but it's also a goofy bunch of schlock, and it isn't everyone's cup of tea. There's nothing wrong in that, and certainly nothing to get all huffy and snotty about.

He is a big hambone, that's why he's awesome. He's like Shatner, he's good and got fans because of his personality, not despite it.

I disagree.
In fact, I like to believe (based on the possession bits) that it takes place in the same world as the Evil Dead films.
