I totally agree. Sam Raimi's budget was indeed very small, so they
could not afford to use realistic gore effects in all scenes.
It is pure horror, though.

Seconded, I watched it for the first time a long time after it was
released, but it always read to me more of "low budget horror film" than "slapstick" comedy. And honestly, I am not sure how you would come to
that conclusion anyway.
