How would you compare it to the original? I didn't really like that one.
It's kinda like comparing Evil Dead with Army of Darkness. Original was a bit campy but it was still mostly a horror movie. This one is a full on comedy, just with lots and lots of gore. I don't think there was a single jump scare in the whole movie.....ok, maybe in the first 5 minutes but nothing after that. Also, WAAAY higher budget. I liked the original and had low expectations for this one as most sequels to cult movies are a disaster but it turned out way better then I expected. Honestly, even if you didn't like the original you might like this one. Depends on your tastes though.
