    So so so much fun. Highly recommended for the Evil Dead crowd.

    Considered a classic "Italian horror/gorefest/giallo" and for good reasons. I like the story concept, the scares are definitely there with great makeup and tense action scenes. My problem with it is that it sometimes seems a mash between Lomberto Bava's vision and Dario Argento'...( read more)s style. That said, Argento's presence seems to inject an edge on the films he produced in this period, the key example being Zombi Dawn of the Dead. Definite must watch for horror fans.

The influence of John Carpenter is strongly discernible, particularly in the closing scenes.

    Ridiculously fun and enjoyable. It is by far one of the best horror comedies and just pure entertainment. The characters are lovable and often over the top and the story feels like it's right out of a pulp magazine. It is a fantasy for fans of the horror genre and not just a spo...( read more)of. It is extremely well shot and has a great style of its own.
