While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This film really has it all. For some it will be gruesome and scary, for others it'll be a laugh riot. For most it will be one hell of a great time.The run time is short and sweet at 84 minutes, this accompanied by the frantic pace complete with gruesome special effects, humor and imaginative camera work ensures a very entertaining ride. All of this makes the film one of the most re-watchable I've encountered. I stuggle to name another that can match it in that regard. I've never had the pleasure of watching this film in the company of others, but I imagine this is the sort of film that a group of people can sit together and enjoy with a couple of cold ones. You don't have to worry about talking ruining the immersion or the atmosphere. This is very much a film that you sit back and enjoy, arguably the sort of film that is better in the company of others.Having a Halloween party/movie-marathon and don't want complaints of 'this is boring' or 'this isn't even scary' ? This would surely do the trick and appease most viewers. To sum this film up in one word. Fun.

The continuation of the story comes with a bigger budget and a quite big tonal shift. It's still horror, but with a heavy dose of added comedy that ranges from dark and disturbing to almost slapstick. Also with bigger and better effects it's much more of an action movie than the first. Bruce Campbell steals the show and makes the character of Ash legendary. Many memorable lines, moments and an overall superb action/horror/comedy that has everything you could want. Groovy!!

Ash Williams is back and his girlfriend and him go to a errie cabin in the woods but when they come across the research into the book of the dead they unleash something horrible. Bruce Cambell is Ash Williams it's more crazier than the first movie with some of the best acting in the series.the rest of the cast is Sarah Berry,Dan Hicks,Kassie Wesley DePaiva,Denise Bixler,Richard Domeier,John Peakes,Lou Hancock. The Evil Dead 2 was a comedy and so when it came to the determing for whether it would be a comedy or a horror because it has moments of of pure gore which i love and then there is comedy which is refreshing for a horror series. I would have to say that the evil dead 2 is one of my favorite comedy horror movies and Bruce Cambel is just so iconic in this one and i love him and it is his best work definitely and the movie is just one i can just enjoy over and over again.

The plot of this movie is more of an evolution than a sequel to the original. It is a re-telling. The budget is higher, for certain. The camera work, writing, directing, and acting are all a big step up. The plot is more involved and goes somewhere.For years I thought the original was better. It was definitely scarier, and well, more original. But this sequel has a sense of humor. The first movie was only unintentionally funny. This one gets a laugh, and does it on purpose.This is always the movie where Ash becomes the wise-cracking, well-armed hero that he remains for later movies.If you can imagine yourself enjoying a gore comedy, you will probably enjoy this slap stick slasher flick.
