Reviews

Prismark10 I found myself tittering a lot when watching this film which is strange as it is supposed to be gore laden horror film. Sam Raimi along with his leading man, Bruce Campbell deliver a low budget, manic, effects filled horror film with lashings of comedy.Ash (Bruce Campbell) is taking his girlfriend Linda to a secluded where he find a tape recorder and a book. The tape was found by a professor who translates the the book of the dead which unleashes malevolent spirits that possess Linda, leaving Ash to chop her head off. Later on Ash hand starts to attack him as it turns evil due to Linda's bite. Ash has to cut it hand off.Later on the professor's daughters turns up with a few other people but faced being attacked by possessed people and the only way out is to read a passage that drives the evil away.I do not know how Raimi managed to do some of the special effects and gore in such a low budget, there is stop motion animation, a tribute to the manic slapstick comic styles of the Three Stooges and Tex Avery. Campbell's broad acting style certainly gets results here.

gabegiddens Evil Dead II is one of the instances where the second film is even better than the first. The insanity is turned up to 11. Bruce Campbell is once again the best character, and actually develops even more in this film (he even cuts off his own hand, later replacing it with a chainsaw). In the end, if you loved the first one, you should definitely watch this one.

jerralagbayani This movie is as good as the first but has a different feel, a little more silly. I like how it was just a little more psychological than the first and BOY OH BOY Ash actually looks like a hero in this one. 7/10 for sure for it's greatness in a slightly bigger budget. The thing I disliked was how Evil Ash looked. He just looked more idiotic than he already is.

groovybucatini Lately I've been binge watching tons of 80s horror films and this movie is by far the very best.With the first film being as terrific as it is, its no wonder fans (and Stephen King) demanded a sequel. Sam Raimi could have done what every other horror movie sequel writer does, replicate the plot of the first film and throw in some lazy jump scares, but instead Sam Raimi took what made "The Evil Dead" brilliant and added some humor (and a demonic hand!) and made a movie more iconic than its predecessor.After the very confusing flashback sequence, that makes you stop and think "is this idiot stupid enough to go back to that cabin", you are taken along on the continuing story of Ash Williams and the evil dead.The movie is not likely to keep you up at scared at night, but it will induce some mighty laughs. This horror movie sequel is as "groovy" as they come.
