    I know Bruce Campbell. I've enjoyed Bruce Campbell for decades. You, John C McGinley sir, are no Bruce Campbell. And I've enjoyed McGinley in all his Oliver Stone supporting roles, and, of course Scrubs. But Stan Against Evil (a nice play on words of Stand Against Evil) is such a carbon copy of Evil Dead, and sp. Ash Vs Evil Dead, it barely "stans" a chance. The ghouls look like the EvilI know Bruce Campbell. I've enjoyed Bruce Campbell for decades. You, John C McGinley sir, are no Bruce Campbell.

But Stan Against Evil (a nice play on words of Stand Against Evil) is such a carbon copy of Evil Dead, and sp. Ash Vs Evil Dead, it barely "stans" a chance. The ghouls look like the Evil Dead ghouls. The skewed camera angles look like The Evil Dead. Even Stan's character, with his insults and attitude, is Ash-lite. So why even watch when Ash season 2 is currently on Starz? John C McGinley. Any good will I have for this show is entirely due to him. I'd say a definite watch if you don't have Starz. If you do, then why bother?… Expand

    Stan Against Evil toys with horror cliches and assures you that whatever you fear, something worse--or funnier--is right around the corner.

    An inconsistent, but sporadically effective horror-comedy that often rises to the level of "just fine" and periodically even hits "pretty good," thanks in huge part to the central star turn by John C. McGinley.

    Stan Against Evil is light, if violent, entertainment. The jokes are moderately funny, the characters two-and-a-half dimensional.
