Kind of enough for you to share your opinion. It always seems writers have been following this site for awhile until there’s something they dislike .

As for seeing The Evil Dead, it might’ve made an impact to how I liked this movie. Then again, I really like judging a movie based on how it does on its own.

The scoring of the film was well done, if that’s what you mean. I still think it was created in a cheesy style of fashion. Intentionally cheesy though.

I think the point of the film was to be funny and to be low-rate horror. The plot line was VERY weak, the main character while passionate, dumb as a rock. Some of the lines were absurdly dumb (e.g. Ganush’s daughter – “You used to be fat didn’t you?” leading to “I don’t like you”).

The movie was meant to be a B movie in my opinion and I rated it as such. It’s an enjoying experience but it hardly makes it up there in the horror genre because it lacks “realism” and Raimi knows this so he uses it for comic relief.

I have grown up with horror films and and have dipped in and out of the genre in recent years. I thought this was a great film and not what you describe as a typical horror. I felt that it really explored and enhanced the genre, and for the first time in many a year, I was genuinely scared, not by the shocks, but by the entire atmosphere of the film.

Perhaps you should see The Evil Dead before you comment on this film, the director and the genre as a whole. The Evil Dead is quite rightly regarded as a classic, and this film is a natural progression from that – humour and scares working in partnership to provide a very eerie atmosphere.

This film is very much NOT a typical modern horror film which why I found it so refreshing. In a genre dominated by sexed up remakes and nu metal/ industrial soundtracks, the director has chosen a different path, yet still created a mainstream film. For Sam Raimi to go from the blockbuster Spiderman franchise to this rather disturbing film is very respectable and I wish more directors would take more of risks in their careers. The sound was also incredible.

Go see this film in a good cinema.
