Recap: A few kids out in a deserted graveyard accidentally unleash a Chinese demon intent on killing all and everyone it sees. The town, Gold Lick, seems doomed. But one local teen thinks he knows who can save them. Who else than his hero, the notorious monster-slayer, Bruce Campbell.
Comments: For the most passionate fans this must be something of a must see. For me that thinks his more classic movies like Evil Dead and Army of Darkness are fun to watch but don't consider myself a fan, it is not that great. I can appreciate some of the humor in doing a spoof on oneself like Campbell does here but that can't carry the movie all the way.
Otherwise, it is much too like the B-horrors it is making fun of. Bad effects, good idea but rather bad story. Some fun trivia but nothing solid to build a movie around. It actually balances on the edge of being bad or being so bad it is funny. I think it is actually intended to be the second alternative but isn't all the way. (So one might say it is too good for it's own good...) I think this is something for the fans, for us others we might skip this one.
4/10
