Kiss Your Nerves Goodbye!

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2009)

Evil Dead II. After Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell delivered the Ultimate Experience in Grueling Horror, they're back for more with Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn! After losing all his friends to flesh-possessing demons, Ash is forced to continue to hold up in the cabin and fight off the demons. However, when a group of strangers arrives at the cabin, Ash discovers that one of them may hold the key to stopping the demons once and for all.
Evil Dead II is a great follow-up to the original gore-fest. The film does change in it's tone, but the dark humor is fantastic. The special effects are also great. The acting is, as like the first, awful. However, Bruce Campbell is perfect.
Even though it's been thoroughly explained many times, people still insist that Evil Dead II is a remake. All one should do is skip the first 7 minutes of simplified recap, and watch on. It's a sequel. They didn't add a "II" at the end just to sound cool.
In the first film, Ash was rather wimpy. However, in Evil Dead II, he's just sick and tired of the constant onslaught of demons, and he becomes the ultimate movie badass. From his chainsaw hand to his sawed-off shotgun, Ash is finally the guy that you don't wanna mess with.
So, all in all, Evil Dead II is awesome, about on par with the first. It's funny, it's scary, and it's fun as hell. I loved Evil Dead II.
