an experiment in messin with yr head

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 1999)

silly, over-the-top, gruesome, and all in all, not a horror film. i loved it. raimi uses every device in the book, not just those in the horror genre like loud sound effects and the camera sweeping through the woods to signify the unseen terror. then he inserts the 3 stooges and a few pages from tex avery. suspension of disbelief is an absolute necessity, but who cares? don't you get tired of the same old s*** in horror movies? see this movie for what it is: farce. unfortunately for most horror fans, they usually stumble upon this movie by accident expecting great things from a movie called "evil dead 2". okay, be disappointed on the 1st viewing. after that, sit back and enjoy it with the rest of us. ash is laughing, why can't you?
