There were tons of films made between the late 50's and Evil Dead that were far more intense than ED or Hostel. And there's even a few before that time frame that would surprise you. I thought ED was kind of bland, myself. And Hostel really didn't wow me either(kinda thought the eyeball bit was comical). I really don't understand why ED got such a strong rating, either, even on it's initial release.
