When Sam (Raimey) stepped up to the plate on this one, he did so with the obvious realization that horror in it's pure form just might not be what he does best. For all those that have asked, no you don't need to see Evil Dead 1 and 2 to understand or even appreciate this.
It takes the horror elements of the first ones, and lets Bruce do what he does best...over the top acting delivering brilliant one liners. Probably as many one liners get repeated from this film as any Monty Python film, so that's saying something. It's not blockbuster quality, by today's standards, but that's probably some of the appeal. There's nothing wrong with the puppetry used, and the "splash gore" fits right in.
So pull out your boom stick and give this one a watch. Over and over.
