This was a well made show, one of the better prime time animated sitcoms I have seen. The voices were superb, and most of the jokes and parodies on target.

The characters also grew and changed, rare for an animated sitcom. At the core of it all was Duckman coming to terms with his wife's death. The whole sequence of the crass, extremely horny and manic detective dealing with a loss of someone he obviously loved a lot was much more believable then you'd expect.

Well, this is an ok movie. It's not great, I don't regret spending $4.50 to see it at a matinee time, but I would of regretted $8. Of course, I'm not HAPPY I spent it either.. I recently finished the book (3 days ago as of 5/12/00), and saw it mostly because of that (or vice-versa, take your pic). Needless to say, the cliche works: "The book was better". The characters are more limited, of course. They rushed things a lot, making it far less realistic. Just about everything is worse here, and less entertaining. In fact, the action scenes are even worse! How's that: a book beating a movie in action scenes. Perhaps the sequel will redeem it in this department (this is only about 1/3 of the book), since the best action sequence, the fight with the Brigantes, is in that chunk.

This is a good movie, quite simply. It's very scary, and hilarious at some points. Many people miss the funny parts as they take it way to seriously. Evil Dead, whilem more serious then the other two movies, is not like the Exorcist or The Omen. It has it's moments, and is definetly one of the better horror movies of the 80's. One other thing I should mention: the budget is not around $50,000. It approaches $250,000, some estimates put it over the $300,000 range. So Halloween was actually made for LESS, but it looked slicker. I think this was an intentional (least partially) thing on Raimi's part. Kind of an atmospheric feel to it, this rawness. Of course, it might of just been his inexperience...
