Favorite Evil Dead Film!

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2012)

Bruce Campbell and Embeth Davidtz star in Sam Raimi's 1992 horror-fantasy sequel. This picks up where the previous film ended with Ash Williams(Campbell) being sent back in time to 1300 A.D. becoming prisoner to a group of knights. He's taken to a pit with 2 demonic creatures, but kills them and survives. Ash demands to get back home and is told by a wise man that he must retrieve an ancient book of the dead, The Necronomicon and say the right words. Of course, Ash makes an error and says the last word wrong waking the army of the dead. He lets the people down, but soon proves himself and persuades them to fight for the book. Campbell also plays Evil Ash, the leader of the army and Davidtz plays damsel in distress, Sheila who falls for Ash. This is my favorite in the "Evil Dead" trilogy and Bruce is great as usual. I also like Danny Elfman's "March of the Dead" theme and the film has theatrical & director's versions plus an original ending. I recommend this cult classic.
