  Being a big Bruce Campbell fan, I may be a bit biased in giving this film such a high rating. The story is fantastic as is the acting but it just seems like years of Bruce and co trying to get the film made, seeking financial backing and getting it from the Sci-fi channel, has come at too much of a compromise. Shot in Bulgaria back to back with Alien Apocalypse to save money really changed the original script and story and Bruce and Co did really well to work around that. I do feel that their baby was not as great as it could have been thanks to the short sightedness of the producers and I don't blame them for finally giving in. All that said though, they did a fantastic job, this film is a Cinematographer and a higher budget short of being the most classic of cult films ever! Shame, but still very much worth a watch.

  A great time. One outragiously funny and original movie that has the old school 1950's sci-fi style and material. It packs great laughs, mayham and crazyness. Bruce Campbell brings his great nack for comedy as well as a great directional debut, proving he can handle being the… More
  A great time. One outragiously funny and original movie that has the old school 1950's sci-fi style and material. It packs great laughs, mayham and crazyness. Bruce Campbell brings his great nack for comedy as well as a great directional debut, proving he can handle being the star and crafting his own film.

  In this Sci Fi original type movie Bruce Campbell loses all of his good Indie cred by doing his same old tired schtick.

  Bruce is alright, but the movie needed some help. These made for sci fi movies should be b movies, but they often aren't good enough to even be that.

  Bruce Campbell rocks!!! This is ultimate B-movie cheese, intentional for a change (at least I THINK it's intentional) and as long as you're not expecting Citizen Kane, a lot of fun.

  After I watched this movie, I did, indeed, feel as if my brain were screaming. This movie was, to put it simply, PAINFUL to sit through- it's full of sub-corny jokes, cheesy effects, virtually no budget (the poster is actually the cover of the comic book adaptation, for cripe's sakes!), nothing but daytime shooting (as there was not enough money for a night shoot), hence no atmosphere, pathetic attempts at acting, and a rapping Russian played by Ted Raimi. This direct-to-video tripe has so few redeeming qualities that I wouldn't recommend this movie to ANYONE- and no, there is no exception to this. Still, though Bruce Campbell fails on almost every level in his first outing as a director, his own performance is as all-out as anything else he's done, and he goes garner a few chuckles; and Stacy Keach is always nice, even with a phony Russian accent. All in all, though, unless you are obsessed with Bruce Campbell to an unhealthy degree, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!

  I love Bruce Campbell, but this was bad, and not in a 'so bad it's good' way, it just not good.

  I love Bruce, but this kinda' sucked big time.
