Gore you say??

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2003)

After buying Peter Jackson's Braindead some time ago, I decided to give the extreme gore genre a try. I tried another of PJ's movies, Bad Taste, and I didn't like it at all. After this mistake, I did some research, so I wouldn't end up with another (in my opinion) "bad" movie. After doing some internet surfing I decided to buy Evil Dead 2. After buying it started watched it; and here it comes: It was a huge disappointment! The biggest disappointment was probably the gore. A couple of times in the movie, you'll see huge amounts of blood squirting from the monsters, the walls etc. That could have been really cool/fun, if it wasn't for one thing: The blood is yellow, black or some other lame color! (They did it to get the age rating down). Blood should red, End of story! There was one scene where the blood actually had the real color, and in my opinion it was the best scene in the movie. Maybe `blood of all kinds of colors' will work for you, but I think it's the worst idea in film history! And to all those people who, for some reason, think there's a lot of gore in it: Where is it? You don't even see Ash cut of his own hand! (which would have looked cool, if you ask me). The best features of the movie, is actually the `making of' included on the DVD. And as you might figure out; When the `making of' is better than the actual movie, how good can it be?
I know a lot of people are calling it the best movie ever made, but that yellow blood just totally ruined it for me. Who knows if you'll like the movie, but it sure doesn't work for me.
