Decent Funny Action Flick

Rating: 6/10 (11 April 2020)

I want to preface this review by saying I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF THE EVIL DEAD'S! I just haven't. However I have seen a few clips of this film online and i decided to check out the whole thing and honestly, pretty good. Obviously the CGI is pretty bad, but the film still holds up because of the fact that most of it is done practically. The costume work and small stop motion pieces of this movie pleasantly surprised me. I think what brings this film down is the protagonist. Ash just is... annoying. I don't enjoy how arrogant and mean he is at times. I get that he is supposed to be a rough and tumble type of guy from the 20th century but he is basically a dick to everyone except for this one girl, and he's only not a dick to her because he wants to sleep with her. This film is weird, there is a scene in the middle of this film that just felt so out of place. It's like they threw all their cool fight scenes are costumes out the window for some incredibly stupid CGI comedy part. Still though, this movie is fun, and if you like the silliness of older films I would recommend this.
