groovy

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2002)

Yes folks , we have a sequel..and the mother of all sequels it is. Each film in this trilogy is very different in style. Evil Dead was a grusome horror movie with gross out effects ..Evil Dead II however is a gross out comedy with over the top corny effects..and it never gets better than this. This shows Ash's evolution from a wimpy worthless coward to a cowardly madman who takes abuse like no other , and in the end straps on his shotgun and chainsaw and fights deadites in a "groovy" way.
*spoilers possibly*
This sequel is alot like the first one , and at the same time nothing like it too. It's basically the same plot , same story , same character Ash getting beat up by demons possessing 2 backwoods hicks , and 2 college students or something..anyway if you saw the first one you pretty much know whats gonna happen..except that this one combines lots of doses of slapstick and humor instead of chills and thrills..and of course it works. Only two directors have been able to mix horror and comedy..Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson..i've never seen it work in that many films with the exception of maybe Return Of The Living Dead.
Don't expect much of a horror movie , expect a very rollercoaster comedy horror..and then check out Army Of Darkness for more laughs.
10/10
