Painful to watch

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2002)

To many people this film is considered a cult classic but to me it's possibly the worst film EVER!
I now have officially watched this film twice from start to finish 4 years apart (giving it more than a fair chance I'd say?!). Now that I have seen it the 2 times I have to say it was even worse the second time through! This film is supposed to be a witty, adventurous, campy film, so I've been told, and both times I watched it all I saw was some HORRIBLE effects and terrible comic relief. How did we get to this point from the original Evil Dead I will never understand. This film makes me never want to see the classic, original installment in this series just so I never have to see Bruce Campbell's sly smirk ever again!
To anyone who has ever seen the original Evil Dead and appreciated it or has been told this film is a "classic" must see...Take my advice and NEVER EVER see this film. To Sam Raimi all I have to say is; What were you thinking??
