I'd say that if he generally prefers adventure type movies over horror, then yes.
However, if you gave #3 of a movie series to me, and I'd not seen the others, I'd not watch it - but that's just me, I'm so continuity psycho.
Look, Raimi never pretended Evil Dead was something that it's not. It's a minimal budget splatter film, simple storyline, simple characters, fucked up zombie/demon type things, and buckets of gore.
Overall, the films are great fun - if he watches them, he might just "get it".
you know, if I were you, I WOULD get the whole box set for him, or start at one.
If he doesn't dig it, he'll probably give it to you anyway, right?
So, you either get the satisfaction of showing someone a few films they end up enjoying, thus eating their words.
OR
You get to keep 'em.
Win-win, no?
- B
