I have been excited about this movie since I first heard Raimi was doing another horror movie. And he did not disappoint.
I can't even count how many tines I jumped throughout the entire movie. When the movie's title showed up on the screen it scared me. And the scares just kept coming and coming and coming. The entire movie jumps out at you.
The special effects in the movie were so Sam Raimi. slime, blood, goo EVERYWHERE! It was very Evil Dead-esque but so cool because all those special effects seem to be updated. His style is still the exact same, just more modern. The majority of the people in the theater were having difficulty deciding whether the effects were grossing them out or making them laugh. You could hear people yelling "SO GROSS!" while laughing at the same time.
The one-liners that some of the characters said at the most random times in the movie were just hilarious too. And there's a pretty epic battle in a car between the main character and the old lady.
Some of the scenes in the movie even remind me of Evil Dead. Seances, possessions...So much like his first movies but they don't get old.
I read on IMDB that Bruce Campbell would not be making an appearance in the movie as he was too busy with another project he is working on, but I still studied the faces of every new character that popped out screen. IMDB was correct though. There was no Bruce; the only thing the movie was lacking.
The movie was only rated PG-13, which meant the theater was full of teeny-boppers screaming at every little thing. But if you can tune them out, or go to a matinee, it's a horror movie that you should definitely see.
I hope Raimi sticks with making horror. And if he DOES Evil Dead 4... wow. i can't wait! :)
