Biography

The illustrious Sam Raimi, a highly inventive film director, producer, writer, and actor, is renowned for his savage yet darkly humorous low-budget horror film, The Evil Dead (1981). As a child, he developed an early passion for the cinema, and by the age of ten had already began making movies with an 8mm camera. This budding director was a devoted fan of the Three Stooges, and much of his work in his teens was slapstick comedy inspired by the Stooges' films. Together with his friends Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert, he wrote, directed, produced and edited Within the Woods (1978), which was then presented to potential investors to fund The Evil Dead (1981). Although the film wasn't highly recieved in the U.S., he found more appreciation in Europe, and thus began his illustrious career.
