Somebody please shoot this &put out of misery

How many ways can you spell b-a-d? Just watch this movie. It was like watching a very bad high school play where they couldn't round anybody up to play the parts. Acting = Bad. Script = Bad. The whole problem, I believe, was people who watch the great cult classic "The Evil Dead" and think they can duplicate it on a shoestring budget. Unfortunately, they get a piece of drek like Ancient Evil 2. Sorry, I don't mean to knock anybody but this was a really bad piece of film work. Save your money folks. I am giving it the lowest possible rating to warn away others. I believe they even mention "The Book Of The Dead" which was a title that Sam Raimie and Bruce Campbell originally thought to name the Evil Dead. But they were talked out of it.
