Really?

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2004)

When I bought this movie, I was expecting to be scared out of my wits. The blurb on the box sounded like one heck of a good film. Zombies. Blood. Guts. Gore. YAY! And then we watched it. Why, oh WHY did I insist on buying this movie? As if the tree rape scene wasn't bad enough, you've got a giggling zombie who talks in sing-song ("we're gonna get you..."). And, don't even get me started on Bruce Campbell's acting. Oh, and who could forget the gloppy oatmeal / creamed corn looking melted zombie flesh? The Wicked Witch was more convincing when SHE melted! And people put this on a pedestal? It is laughable. If you just stop and think of all the horror films, including stuff from the thirties and realize how well these movies, with a few exceptions, were made, how can you even think that this was a worthwhile horror film? I was insulted.
