Every Evil Dead Movie Ranked By Kill Count

The Evil Dead franchise features a lot of death and dismemberment, prompting many viewers to wonder how the movies rank when their body counts are stacked up against each other. The Evil Dead series began in 1981 with director Sam Raimi’s original low-budget sleeper hit. Although The Evil Dead was an infamously cheap, ramshackle production that relied on amateur actors and improvised filmmaking tricks, the relentless horror movie still managed to earn a glowing review from Stephen King. This translated into massive success at the box office and The Evil Dead soon kick-started the Hollywood careers of its director and the movie’s leading man, Bruce Campbell.
