[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 1580991, member: 633"] I like it because it has great lines, and because Ash's approach is diametrically opposite to most horror heroes. Instead of giving up rationality and completing the ritual to banish the evil, which is what happens in 99% of similarly-themed movies, he botches the ritual and releases the evil, and then smashes it to bits with "science". Instead of freezing in doubt when confronted by his corrupted lover, he spits a witty one-liner and whacks her. Heck, to be precise, instead of finding his great love, he basically finds casual sex. The funny bit is that he almost always does approximately what I'd do (except for forgetting three stupid words...), while on a horror movie I am always thinking "you bloody stupid moron, you should...". But yeah, comedy is highly subjective. There is no way to get you to laugh at something that didn't make you laugh in the first place. [/QUOTE]
