11) The Evil Dead (1981)

The Evil Dead by Sam Raimi is known to be this low-budget, shocking horror flick from 1981 with loads of gore in its special effects and unending speed. Shunned at its time as nothing but a marginal splatter flick, word-of-mouth on the midnight screen helped create generations of influence from the cinematography and even the DIY spirit with which it approached its making. Now, for better or for worse, the horror genre needs it. Sometimes small indie pictures make the bigger legacy.
