hilarious!

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2002)

i'd seen this movie kicking around video stores for years and it looked kinda weird. well, the other night , curiosity got the best of me and i wasnt sorry that it did!!! this movie was the most bizarre movie ive EVER seen, but in a good way! the acting was great, being intentionally corny, i guess to spoof some of the acting in many horror movies. bruce campbell was hilarious as "Ash", an employee at "S-Mart" (get it?) who becomes involved with the "necronomican" (i cant believe i know how to spell it!)and some ancient evil is released which kills his girlfriend and then comes back for him. he gets sent back to medievel times, and needs to retrieve the necronomican to get back to his own time. campbell has some really funny one liners which left me laughing. there are even some spoofs of george lucas/steven speilberg movies that are kinda hard to spot. and the cinematography in this movie was INCREDIBLE!!!!! great weird shots that added to the campy dark quality of the movie. the humor in this movie is downright bizarre but absolutely hilarioius. i was almost suprised this was in the "horror" section at the video store. its a great spoof of horror movies with many very original moments as well. i give this a 10 outta 10. i couldnt find any flaws. the special effects were bad, but i think they were supposed to be to add to the tone of the movie. definitely worth checking out for horror or comedy or movie buffs!
