As my name suggests, I kind of dig this film

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2004)

The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Horror it aint; that award would have to go to the original 'Texas Chainsaw'. Neither is it the goriest film I've ever seen, and though far from tame, it is not a patch on the incredible violence in Braindead or Koroshiya 1. However, there just isn't a horror movie to touch it. I could go on about how Bruce Campbell, the movie geek's hero, puts Carrey to shame for one of the finest slapstick 3 stooges performances of all time. Or I could banter on about the innovative shots, that makes the film play like the Citizen Kane of 80s horror.
What I really love about the movie is the pure enthusiasm Raimi and his team pour over every moment. You can literally feel the presence of a young, nervous but confident and strikingly talented director at the helm, throwing his heart and soul into the production, with a genuine love of horror movies, comedy and film itself. When you get to know this movie well, and its unmissable sequels, you feel you're in good company. A cult classic; puts heartless hollywood mass-produced movies to shame.
