Ash (Bruce Campbell), the only survivor of an attack by human-possessing demons, holes up in a cabin with a group of strangers.
"A ghoulish splatter comedy that uses wildly excessive gore to provoke the kind of shock that lies between a laugh
and a scream."
— Dave Kehr
"Just when things start getting too grisly, Raimi rushes in with a hilarious, sendup joke to remind us that all this blood and guts is meant in spooky
Grand Guignol fun."
— Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"A flashy good-natured display of special effects and scare tactics so extreme they can only be taken for laughs."
— Variety
