The One with all the blood in...

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2000)

Picture the scene. You and you're best mate (who has a very handsome chin) have just made a film on an excruciatingly low budget, and it's come up trumps. You have more money than you know what to do with and you're a little bit shocked by the fantastic response your first ever movie created. So what to do?? Well, surely the answer is obvious. Go and remake the first one, only with a bigger budget. WOOHOO!!! If you've seen the Evil Dead (1) then the storyline will be hauntingly (hehe) familiar. The only real difference is, better quality all round, a little more blood (well, you can never have too much blood) and a sublte movement of toungue, now pressed more firmly 'in cheek'. In summary: Bruce Campbell (King of Chin) screams a lot, comically falls over a lot, cuts off his hand and generally acts smoother than a frictionless-moleskin. Sam Raimi (King of Zoom lenses) runs around in circles with the camera a lot, zooms in needlessly a few times, and makes himself, and schoolmate Bruce, another shedload 'o cash. - enjoy...
