"A FUN RIDE... WITH BRUCE CHARM ON FULL BLAST"
-AIN'T IT COOL NEWS

Something evil is stirring in the small mining town of Gold Lick, and it's not happy. Guan-di, the Chinese protector of the dead, has been awakened by reckless teenagers, and now his bloody crusade to wipe out the town's entire population can only be stopped by one man - Bruce Campbell (the guy who starred in all three Evil Dead movies and Bubba Ho-tep), B-movie star and deadbeat ex-husband extraordinaire, who's recruited to be their unwitting savoir. When our hero faces off against a dark force more fearsome than a Hollywood agent, the laughs and screams start flying!

My Comments:

This is a very funny (read "very stupid") movie in which Bruce Campbell pokes fun at himself, his fans, and B-movies in general. A treat for those already familiar with his work, but too full of inside jokes for the average viewer.
