D: Bruce Campbell (Bruce Campbell, Ted Campbell, Taylor Sharpe, Grace Thorsen
PG13, 86m, USA
Tagline: Fearless! Unstoppable! Ready For His Close-Up!Silly but fun little goofball of a film starring/directed by Bruce Campbell, king of the B movies. Campbell plays himself as a jerky has-been actor who finds himself in a crummy small town called Goldlick. The locals mistake him for Ash (the hero of the Evil Dead movies) and expect him to save their town from a monster who's eliminating them one by one. Starts out strong and kind of peters out. Special effects are okay, not great, and the monster is not scary at all - the costume could have come straight out of K-Mart. For die-hard Campbell fans only - lots of in-jokes and a few cameos from the old Evil Dead movies.

You WATCHED that thing? :-D
If you like amusing horror send-ups, I reccomend Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. It's a mockumentary that follows a "monster" serial killer (of the likes of Friday the 13th), and it's actually pretty amusing.
Yep... but it was on the Movie Channel, so it was free (more or less). And short. :D
"Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" sounds promising. I like mockumentaries like Best in Show, This is Spinal Tap and TV shows like The Office and Park and Recreation (where the characters address an invisible cameraman).
