This Swedish mad film was sort of scary, but more a horror tribute film with a splash of comedy with it. The premise is of an editor that has edited one too many slasher movies and slowly goes insane and kills people. First off the great thing about this movie is its movie connections with other great classics. The green monster in the fridge closely resembles The Gremlins. The director of the slasher movie in this movie is named Sam Campbell, a tribute to Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi from Evil Dead. There are many posters of b-movies on the walls that make this movie what it is. The movie alone is titled Evil Ed in reference to Evil Dead.
The humor in this movie is not over done, but at times uncalled for. The Boss of Edward has some great lines and some of the wacky things that Ed says is also pretty funny. The movie does get pretty gory at some points, like the hospital scene.
However, despite these connections, the movie had bad acting, bad lighting and very bad voice-overs. The plot is pretty schmaltzy and sometimes flawed. If they could have improved on these aspects they could have had something going.
Overall, if your looking for a good gore-time and a funny spoof, but not a real horror film, than this is a movie for you.
