Auteur Theory - Sam Raimi

Recurring trademarks:

Before Sam created one of his most well known films The Evil Dead, he was making  Three Stooges influenced shorts, which some scenes in his films you can see. for instance there are a few scenes in the Evil Dead where there is a bit of slapstick back and forth jokes between the characters. one of Raimi's early films 6 Months To Live the entire film was influenced by the Three Stooges as it featured three characters that would convey a three stooges personality/ style.

Sam Raimi also likes to use creative pov shots like in Evil Dead where the camera is flying through the trees.

In most of Sam Raimi's films there is always a male figure which dominates. For instance in the Evil Dead Ash (Bruce Campbell), Spiderman Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire)


Recurring actors:

Bruce Campbell - Sam Raimi and Bruce have been friends ever since the Evil Dead and said that he uses Bruce in most his films as he is the good looking one.
