Ginsu Victim:
You missed the point of the "straight man"

Remember, Ash was the straight man before the events of The Evil Dead changed him.

True, but she was still essentially the "straight man" by the end of the movie.  It just didn't work IMO, not that I expect anyone here to agree with me since most people seem to love this movie (although at the showing I went to I heard a number of people saying "I can't believe I paid to see this" and "wow this movie sucked" when I was walking out, so I guess I'm not alone).

Date night saturday, and I saw this was playing at the 'cheap theater'. Much better to shell out $6 for 2 tickets then $20. ;)

First off, I am a huge fan of Evil Dead movies. As a control subject, my wife is not. She has only seen bits and pieces of Evil Dead. The movie was 100% excellent. My control subject, though grossed out and now terrified of gypsies, thought it was excellent too.

Most people probably thought the dancing demon dude was stupid - if they hadn't seen Evil Dead. It brought a hell of a smile to my face though.

Raimi proved to me that he is a master storyteller.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!! DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
















SERIOUSLY, DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!




I felt the ending was like a clever magic trick. He set it up the whole movie and dared you to notice. I just knew there was a catch about the button, but he convinced me it was legit. I should have known better, but I was too busy being engaged and entertained. If it were a bad movie, I would have resorted to picking out plot and continuity inconsistencies. Raimi did his job superbly as a filmmaker, and I give him props for it.
