Comic-book freaks will bitch about liberties taken. You'll hear that some of the CGI isn't so hot (it isn't) and that the Goblin's mask looks like party plastic (it does). Know what? It doesn't matter. Raimi mixes his flair for the sensational (The Evil Dead) and the subtle (A Simple Plan) into one knockout package.
I didn't realize that Raimi directed this one. That makes it a MUST see, fer sure.
Evil Dead is a CLASSIC, and is as funny a movie as most of the Monty Pythons.
