Also, I'm pretty sure that's the only mainstream movie you can see where a tree rapes a girl, so that's gotta count for something.

I had an Evil Dead marathon. Watched all 3 movies, and took a break from even figuring out what the story line was. I just sat there with my fist in my mouth wondering "WTF?!".
And, at the tree-rape scene, I was like this >
Watched an animated movie called the
12 Months. It's an old movie, which goes on about a kind-hearted young orphan girl, Anya, who lives with her step mother and her daughter. It also tells the tale of a rich, stubborn Queen, who is as old as Anya. She sends her Court during winter in search of a flower that blossoms in the Spring. Anya goes in search of them, and meets the human embodiments of each of the 12 Months. Spring gives her a ring and tells her to call him when necessary. Involves the step-sister stealing the ring, and everyone going in search of the place where the flowers grow. To cut a long story short, the step sister and her Mother are turned into dogs on account of their greed. The Queen learns a marvellous lesson.
Sounds cheesy? You bet.
But, watch the movie, and you wont find it so. The work isn't along the lines of 300, but inclines towards Snow White and the other classics. watch this movie if you can. I watched it from a VHS tape.
