It's about time Bruce Campbell OFFICIALLY parodied himself. Here we have Bruce, in a movie, playing himself, being mistaken for his famous monster fighting character in a small redneck town. When it becomes painfully obvious the monster in this town is real and the people actually want him to fight it, Bruce becomes a quivering coward and thus a funny and ridiculous movie gets under way.
I wasn't sure I liked this film to begin with, but it grew on me. I was expecting horrible special effects and over the top acting but it just seemed somewhat dull at the beginning. Campbell shines as always though and his role as director is just as good as any movie he's starred in lately. Definitely for any B-movie/Campbell fan. I don't believe this will be his version of "The Wrestler" for Rourke or "JCVD" for Van Damme. But it is definitely his best work in the sea of recent sci-fi channel originals.
