There had been countless games based on the 1981 cult classic horror movie Evil Dead, directed by Sam Raimi. It had been one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Hollywood. The series did not produce many films; in fact, the first sequel of the movie was a parody of the original.
The first Evil Dead video game was released back in 1984 exclusively for ZX Spectrum, and it maintained the style of platform, which was quite similar to Atari 2600. There had been many other releases inspired by this movie, including its latest release in 2022 by the same name.

It is indeed one of the best video games of the series, some fans are even considering it the best in the series. It also received great critical acclamation with mostly positive reviews. But the sales figure was not up to the mark as it could manage only 5,00,000 sales.
