classic raimi!

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2010)

this movie is an instant classic. there was a poor review by "ghodmode" that obviously did NOT pick up the connections from "army of darkness" or any of "the evil dead" series. of course it's over the top! this is taking so many elements from such an old CULT CLASSIC and putting it into a new modern film. you would probably not appreciate this movie if you are not familiar with Raimi's style and the evil dead connections. a lot of it is done with some over the top slap-stick and very jumpy scenes. watch it with headphones and it'll be a lot more entertaining. if you don't love this movie, than you don't understand why a lot of this film was shot the way it was. people who purely took this as a "horror" film would think it was dumb, but it had a lot of humor in it that was purposely done for Raimi's following. and if you haven't seen the evil dead series and army of darkness then shame on you, repent, go watch it immediately, then join the cult classic following of bruce campbell and sam raimi. THEN you can really appreciate this film. i say this is sam raimi at his best. the connections between the evil dead series and this film are countless. WATCH IT! and don't take it as a pure horror, cus that's not it's intentions haha.
