Sam Raimi undertook his assault on Hollywood with this excellent action thriller, where he maintained his characteristic style brands getting both a fully commercial product and some spectacular.

Based on a screenplay by Chuck Pfarrer good that integrates elements of classical tragedy (the emotional and impossible love story between the two main characters), the horror film from Unive... read more

More than 10 years before directing ‘Spider-Man’, Sam Raimi actually already directed a super-hero flick. It was actually his first studio feature and, apparently, it was far from being a really pleasant experience. I mean, it was his 4th movie and the movies he made before were more like independent productions but, suddenly, he had to make compromises with studio bosses and there were appare... read more

Until then, there was this bizarre mixture between The Phantom of the Opera, The Invisible Man, and Batman, with The Shadow mixed in.
