The Evil Dead trivia picture

Trivia: Raimi created the "shaky cam", a low budget version of the Steadicam, which he couldn't afford to use for filming.

Producer Rob Tapert has said "We did a lot of tests with it, and we were actually very pleased with how it turned out. We never considered the shakiness a problem, we thought it showed the energy of the force behind it."
