Campy but effective horror film.

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2011)

I have never really enjoyed devil or demon-oriented films but this one is pretty good of its type. Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots and directs it with plenty of gross-out horror with humor laced in between. The delivery overall is engaging and not completely disgusting or downbeat for that matter. The comic relief is well-needed and well-used to the film's benefit. Personally I would choose Raimi's lower budget horror above this but it is still interesting entertainment and full of lots of scary creature effects that are always effective when on screen. Raimi has his biggest commercial if not artistic triumph since his Spiderman movies.
