One word, Groovy!

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 1998)

Evil Dead 2 is by far one of the goofiest, goriest, and outlandishly imaginative films that has come along in a great while. Bruce Campbell is the world's most abused actor and here we see him get it all. He loses his hand, he loses his soul, (but gets it back) and he nearly loses his marbles. He gets beat up by his dead girlfriend, a hick, a dead and decaying woman, and his own hand. Sam Raimi's love for cartoons is evident in the sound effects and the camera work. Raimi manages to scare you and make you laugh at the same time. The best part of the movie is when Ash gets his rig ready to go fight the evil. The music builds, Ash acts macho and the camera dollies up to his face for some great phrase, and what comes out is the one word that sums it up: Groovy!
