It’s everything I wished Evil Dead would be and even more. I laughed quite a bit and the gore was quite overwhelming! There were so many memorable scenes; one of my fav being the “divine intervention”. With its impressive amount of different elements (the blender, the light bulb, the lawnmower, the hatchet…) it’s definitely worth seeing again and again. 8.5/10
shareHonestly, I didn't find it very funny. I thought the gore was excessive. I don't think I would ever want to watch this again. 5/10 from me.
shareHave you seen Bad Taste (1987)? I think it's the best of Peter Jacksons gory horror-comedies.
It's not as gory as this film but I think the humor lands way better. It cracks me up.
I haven't seen Bad Taste yet, but I might eventually check it out.
shareYOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE PETER JACKSON GORE COMEDIES AS A TEENAGER...I'M TRYING TO IMAGINE HOW I WOULD VIEW THEM IF I SAW THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME AS AN ADULT...DEAD ALIVE IS ON MY TOP 100...BAD TASTE WOULD BE ON MY TOP 200 IF I MADE THE LIST...BUT A LOT OF WHAT MAKES MOVIES ETERNAL TO ME IS NOSTALGIA...I HAVE A HARD TIME CONNECTING WITH NEW FILMS THE SAME WAY AS AN ADULT.
shareI might have felt differently about the film if I had seen it at a younger age.
shareAt least you gave it a try. I enjoy it. Be sure to avoid Bad Taste if you didn't care for this one. It's similar humor with gore. I'm amazed it was done with such limited supplies and such a small budget. But it's may not be one you'd enjoy.
