The Evil Dead - Book Of The Dead [DVD]
1.  The Evil Dead - Book Of The Dead [DVD] DVD ~ The Evil Dead
The list author says:
  "Possibly the greatest low-budget film ever made. The camerawork, the sound editing, the simple effects.... all are masterly, but the result is more than the sum of its parts. Also quite, quite mad."

Hellbound - Hellraiser II [DVD]
10.  Hellbound - Hellraiser II [DVD]
