Totalt kaotisk og syrealistisk historie. De fleste vil hade den. Den skal ses! Bruce Campbell spiller som sædvanligt blændende.

Written by the Coen Brothers and directed by Sam Raimi, this one is billed as an "unconventional comedy". Unconventional is an understatement. This is one bizarre movie. I feel like I really needed to be high to fully appreciate this movie, so may... (read more)
