But was it scary?

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2006)

If you're expecting a truly scary movie, you will be disappointed. I just bought this movie because I remember it as being a classic from the 80's when I grew up......
There are certain movies that stick in your head as being scary, for me these to name a few would be: The Shining, The Changeling, The Omen, The Blair Witch Project ( I got caught up in it )..... to name a few.
I suppose for me it's what you don't see, or when you let your mind get the best of you and you start to see shapes in the living room...... that is truly scary, and then you know the movie has worked.....
Bruce Campbell is good, there is no doubt there... You have to take this movie for what it is......gore! The opening scenes in the forest are scary....the reminded me of the Blair Witch Project, and everyone can imagine that type of scenario...when the gore starts, it loses all reality and then becomes a comedy.....it simply doesn't scare you.
Maybe that is the intent......more a comedy than a horror.....its just not scary. Let your mind go to work.....watch a psycho thriller......let it do it's magic.....
