But Bruce Campbell as Ash the dim-witted hero brings the zombie movie trash back to its own with his cheesy acting and witty one-liners. If he had not been cast for this role, I can predict that these movies would have fallen with the rest of the genre into the movie hell that is the bargain bin at the local supermarket.

P.S. I have only one more thing to say on this movie: watch for the marvelous sequence in the second film when Bruce has his hand possesed. I almost fell into shock when he had to cut it off, muhahaha!
