Director Sam Raimi is, of course, beloved by horror fans thanks to his EVIL DEAD series. After those he made a few movies no one seems to care much about and some big budget Hollywood SPIDER-MAN flicks that more mainstream-types might enjoy and then he returned to horror with this. While not the worst thing I've ever seen it's a far cry from his younger years in terms of intense horror. Perhaps that PG-13 rating and yearning for mass-acceptance had something to do with that. I actually watched the "director's cut" so I guess I got a little more blood being thrown around still nothing all that extreme. Some terrible c.g.i. and a very Hollywood-feel to everything didn't help either. It doesn't go with the traditional ending, I'll give it credit for that, unfortunately I saw the ending(and a few other plot points) coming a mile away. This certainly made me long for the days of rapist trees.
