Even better than I expected! There are hectolitres of blood and brutal violence, and the formalistic stylisation is also excellent – the cinematography is just as crazy as in The Evil Dead. But what got me the most here is the sound effects, which play a bigger role than the four young characters. Considering the fact that Raimi shot Within the Woods in a single weekend, I can’t help but to bow down before him.

A short prototype of the cult-classic Evil Dead, which Sam Raimi made as a preview for future investors. Raimi's friends the Coen brothers would take the same tactic a few years later before filming their debut Blood Simple (Bruce Campbell starred in their preview as well). Within the Woods is an extremely low-budget film shot on 8mm that's only available in a shaky, almost unwatchable VHS transfer, but it will still please fans who like to see the germs of Raimi's kinetic directorial handwriting, including his trademark flying shaky-cam POV shots.
