Sam Raimi’s dysfunctional relationship with Bruce Campbell
As fans of the Evil Dead series may know, Bruce Campbell is a frequent collaborator of Sam Raimi. The Evil Dead director has expressed his love of torturing Campbell for the cameras.

In addition to collaborating on films, Raimi and Campbell were also involved in making Super 8 movies.

There’s no real villain in the film. And the script does little to elevate the stale premise. Nevertheless, fans of the Bruce Campbell legend should still see the film. Though it’s not as compelling as the original, this film does provide a fun, light-hearted experience for fans of the actor.
Despite the long-standing tension between Raimi and Campbell, the two remain friends. In fact, the two were once high school classmates. Raimi also cast Campbell in Darkman, but they later ended their relationship because of some differences. However, their friendship is enduring. The two have been working together on various movies for decades now. In their earlier years, they were taxi drivers, waiters, and producers.
