Some creative kills - snowmobile tread! - and some very funny bits, but I couldn't have cared less about any of the characters. Sometimes that's alright, but here's some advice to the filmmakers: all you're doing when you reenact shots straight out the Evil Dead movies (not to mention have one character be a film-geek who explicitly shouts-out the Evil Dead movies) is reminding us of how great a character Ash was and how we can't even remember the names of anyone you've given us in comparison. That negativity aside, it did have its moments. I mean, it has Nazi Zombies. And sometimes, for fleeting moments, that is entirely enough.But the whole "sex in an out-house" scene was just... that's just too much, dudes. No. Innards and brains and eyeballs I can take, but fucking in an out-house is over the goddamned line.

The New Beau and I will be watching this tomorrow night. We'll keep our expectations low. :)
Glad I wasn't the only one who was underwhelmed...completely agree re couldn't have cared less about any particular character and re outhouse sex=just NO!
The outhouse sex was clearly a request of a primary backer. There was no cue that they knew this was nasty or even funny. We don't want to see the extra footage
It shouldn't have been played for laughs. If the movie had taken itself and its premise dead-seriously it would have been a lot better (it mostly sucked).
