I am pretty picky when it comes to horror films. That being said, I will not hide my love for Sam Raimi’s films. Seriously, Evil Dead 2 is probably my 2nd favorite horror film of all time. He also made the spider man movies which I thought were ok. But this film really did take me back to the 80s a bit. It feels modern but it has that visceral in your face super active and animated over the top violent spooky stuff that I loved about some of his previous films.

Here he returns to his horror roots. I thought I was going to hate this film. NOT. This movie has some great horror scenes. It seriously made me jump in a few parts, and I do not rattle easily. My favorite scene in the movie involves someone puking bugs all over someone’s face

Hi I’m a MAC, LOL. Justin Long from the MAC commercials is in this, and he is not that bad of an actor, kind of Keanu Reeves but smarter and with more character, Alison Lohman plays the main character and she really surprise me actually. Only Dario Argento uses the cameras as creatively as Sam Raimi. Cool camera angles, great scene shooting. Really creative. The story is ok, kind of your standard short story fare. I immediately though of tales from the krypt or shows like that.

What really sold me on this were the horror scenes, when she is being haunted. The goo. The gross. Nothing super gory, but just kind of EWWW. I will remember a few scenes from this film for some time. I cannot say that about most of the horror films I have watched over the last 10 years. I did like some of the story twists although it will be kind of obvious to some, still really enjoyed how the movie ends. I give this a 4 out of 5. Click here to buy dvd. Click here to buy Bluray.
