A Jewel from Sam Raimi

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2009)

This movie is a must-see for any B-rated, hack and slash horror lover. Sam did a great job balancing seriousness with dark comedy and just the right amount of cheese insures a good flavor of entertainment. Sam also gets very creative with the camera throughout the entire movie, shooting scenes and angles that are very unique in their own right. Bruce Campbell also perform one of his two magnum opus performances in this movie (the other one was Army of Darkness). Bruce Campbell plays his character so fluidly that sometimes it is hard to tell that he is acting. The dark comedy within this film is mostly slap stick and situational, but is played off well and sometimes can make you cringe while you laugh. The commentary on this track is priceless and worth listening to at least once.
