    • Evil Dead II (1987) At the crossroads of the Evil Dead trilogy's journey from horror to comedy, the middle entry remains Raimi's funniest and scariest movie to date.
    • The Evil Dead (1981) Sam Raimi's micro-budgeted debut deserves its cult classic status — it's efficient, scary, silly, and astoundingly creative. When Ash (Campbell) and his friends discover a cursed book at a ramshackle cabin, they're haunted and attacked by a primal force of evil.
    • Spider-Man 2 (2004) Raimi's best Spider-Man film is the platonic ideal of the modern comic book movie — and the standard by which all subsequent superhero entertainment should be judged.
    • Army of Darkness (1992) The third Evil Dead film is the most expensive and the most ridiculous, sending Ash (Bruce Campbell) back to the Middle Ages to fight a medieval army of the undead.

    Everything about 2013’s Oz the Great and Powerful feels like a phenomenal misfire on the part of both Raimi and Disney. L. Frank Baum’s Oz novelsare timeless pieces of children’s entertainment, chock full of creativity and quietly subversive ideas, and some exceptional female characters. It makes sense why Disney would want to put their own stamp o...

    As Raimi tried to step away from his horror routes, he made some strange career choices. Still, few are as genuinely inexplicable as his decision to make an inspirational sports drama starring Kevin Costner. For Love of the Game feels like a paint-by-numbers movie — one where every moment is highly predictable and derivative of dozens of better mov...

    Every bright young director has to start somewhere. It's Murder! is Raimi's debut, shot on Super 8 while he was still at college and co-starring Bruce Campbell and Raimi's brother Ted. As the title suggests, the movie centers on a murder and the detective trying to solve the case while avoiding his demise. It’s clearly the work of a first-timer who...

Crimewave had a disastrous production, with Raimi not allowed to cast Bruce Campbell in the lead, lousy weather and crew issues delayi...

    There are innumerable Spider-Man 3 memes and arguments about it being one of the worst superhero movies ever made. Indeed, the film isn’t perfect, but it’s not bereft of value or attractive qualities. Raimi still manages to make room for his trademark humor in Spider-Man 3, and some highly satisfying slapstick moments. Plus he’s always known how to...

    Raimi took one hell of a risk in making The Quick and the Dead in 1995. While the Western wasn't entirely dead by this point in time, thanks to works like Unforgiven, it wasn't exactly something that younger audiences were desperate to see, even with a hot young rising star by the name of Leonardo DiCaprio among the cast. This proud homage to Sergi...

    Spider-Man may have been a breakthrough for superhero movies, but 1990's Darkman was a serious risk, with Raimi directing a film in the genre that wasn't based on a pre-existing property. Liam Neeson plays a scientist who, after being disfigured by a ruthless gangster, tries to cure himself and develops superhuman abilities that he uses to fight cr...
