    I saw almost every evil dead movie before watching this one and maybe that’s why I’m so surprised that I loved this film. Crazy that Sam Raimi was just 20 years old when he made this.

Though Mormons are thought to be among the most quirky modern religions, I feel the movie did a good job humanizing them. One negative…
