Horror so in your face, so over the top, it doesn't need "scares". One tone or the other always picks up the slack, always drives a scene, in a seamless flowing rhythm. Jeffrey Combs is the epicenter of it all.… Expand

It's a cult classic horror movie for a reason and I respect that but I far from love it. The effects and make-up were absolutely fantastic and made the film worth watching but everything else was kind of instantly forgettable.

Extremely. I think what makes it so good ism that it approaches a normal boundary then smashes through it. again and again, until you arrive at a scene with a severed head giving oral pleasure to a restrained girl while his beheaded corpse holds her down and her resurrected father stands watch, and the absurdity of it all washes over you. This movie is magic, i watched all sequels and other work by the director, don't bother. Only this was worth watching and it is super exhilarating. The villain is really really good, the humor is perfect, the effects are the bare minimum of what they need to be but never less. You must watch immediately.… Expand
