I’ve seen things that are very campy, but still manage to have compelling character arcs. It’s the issue I had with the Bayformers movies. Having over the top special effects wasn’t an excuse for all the characters being rotten. Evil Dead on the other hand bought fake blood by the barrel, but Ash’s decent into madness was the real focus of the story.
