“Blending almost nonstop violence with humorous parody, Sam Raimi’s latest excursion into horror-kitsch should prove a crowd-pleaser for the mall trade and perhaps a mite beyond.” – Peter Besas, Variety

“Benefiting enormously from Raimi’s brisk, no-nonsense direction, it shows again that he can fill a broader canvas with complicated effects, masking the fact that there’s nothing terribly original on screen.” – Jay Carr, Boston Globe

“Replete with thumping horse hooves, the battle cries of lusty men and the banshee screams of the living dead, Raimi’s movie comes at you with a noisy, jokey swagger. Its hero even says “groovy” and gets away with it.” – Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
