Not gory like everyone seems to say (for some reason)

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2017)

Awesome movie, atmosphere very similar to the original, despite its increased budget, but the gore is way down in this one....if you are hoping for a gorefest like the first one, and are expecting it because of what you have heard, then you will be very very dissapointed. The violence in this is more of the 'beating up bloodlessly' variety, any gore that it DOES have, is either offscreen, with tastefully low amounts of blood splattering (at most) or large amounts of watery blood spraying out of walls or (in one case) from under a trapdoor.....or to rubber monsters, with no actual gore or guts or any of that. This doesn't make it any less awesome a movie, but it HAS been continuously misrepresented as being gory, (and even as gory or more so, than the original)
It has a great performance from Bruce Campbell, who i do not think is capable of a non-magnetic performance. The atmosphere IS indeed creepy and dark and cold looking, and nicely grainy, so it LOOKS like the kind of splatter movie that it isn't. It is also very very funny, and well made, which creates a kind of viewer dichotomy while watching it, because the humour and the aesthetic do not match- yet it meshes so well.
So, to summarise, be wary of expectations of splatter (like the first) as you will not get it. Watch it for its other qualitties, and you will most likely love it!!!
