i'm sorry but this film looks like shit. if it were directed by rob zombie, it'd be slaughtered. i love raimi but just because it's his return to horror doesn't mean we bow at his feet.

i saw this film yesterday. it's as good as they say. expect elements from raimi's older horror movies to creep up into this film. the best part is, u dont have to scare people by showing scary faces.
