| Full Review: |
Some of the reviews on Amazon for this movie are laughable. The "baby boomer alert" Crabtree guy who says this movie isn't funny. Umm, who on earth watches a movie with Bruce Campbell and expects a serious movie? This movie is supposed to be a comedy not a horror movie (after all we're talking about a guy who played Elvis battling a mummy!). Wow just wow. It's not often you see people miss the point THAT much. Nobody comes into this movie expecting any sort of serious horror except for 1 guy, LOL!
And the guy who says Shaun of the Dead is the only other competition for this movie in terms of horror comedy. LOL, OK let's see: Bubba Ho-Tep; An American Werewolf in London; The Toxic Avenger; Gremlins; Re-Animator; Bad Taste; Dead Alive; etc. You get the picture. There's tons of great horror comedies and this is just one of many.
To sum this movie up, it contains very hammy acting and some nice gory bits all rolled into one. It's a very fun movie.
I still can't believe someone actually watched a Bruce Campbell movie and expected an actual horror movie. If you want real horror I would suggest A Nightmare On Elm Street (only part 1), The Thing, The Fog (the original), Halloween, Dawn Of The Dead (original Romero), The Shining (probably the best horror movie ever made), The Exorcist, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original), Psycho and The Descent. So there, I just gave you a list of some of the best real horror movies out there - watch those for horror, watch Evil Dead II for the slapstick. |
