“Trust me,” Pablo replies, “ everything is worse than this.” “Nothing is worse than this,” the blonde whimpers. “We gotta chop ‘em up, or else they could come back as something much worse.” After a last-minute save from Ruby (Lucy Lawless) spares the pair, Ash’s sidekick explains to his new lady friend why this mysterious dead-hunter is dismembering her companions’ corpses before her eyes. When she makes a run for it, Amanda tracks her down, saying “Before you die, I want you to know - there is no Heaven” before tossing her into a tree and snapping her leg so bad that the bone breaks through the skin. She’s also quite realistically shellshocked by the carnage she’s witnessed. Played by Samara Weaving, she’s convincingly endearing, to the point where Pablo’s sudden interest in her feels like more than a joke. It’s a symphony of bad taste and a joy to behold - even as you murmur “Jesus Christ!” with each new defilement of the human body.Īctually, we need to talk about Heather, an interesting late-breaking addition to the cast. The Ghostbeaters are riddling all three with bullets the entire time, while the third member of their party, Pablo’s would-be love interest Heather, recoils in horror. But the now-reanimated Fisher has other plans, and announces her presence by ramming her forearm through one of the women’s bare midriff while shouting “HELLO, PUSSIES!” In short order, Amanda rams her head into the corpse’s brain, pulls the same trick with her terrified husband, and begins operating the pair like puppets.
Out in the woods, Pablo and Kelly are accompanying last week’s trio of Aussie hikers to safety.
