Definition of a cult classic

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2006)

Evil Dead II is a great flick. It has the creepy haunting horror aspects, the jump out of your seat scenes, plenty of gore for those who need it, and loads of comedy.
Sam Raimey really captures the feeling of seclusion in and around the cabin. One of the great things about the movie is that the 'monster' is't the zombies as much as it is the intangible evil spirit.
There are spots where the effects can be cheesy but it actually adds to the films charm. The characters are great as well: The Daughter of the archaeologist and her preppy boyfriend, the backwoods hillbilly and his charming girlfriend. Then there is Ash. Its worth seeing for Ash's one liners alone.
I love how the house in the woods looks like it has 3 rooms from the outside but when ash is running through it there is like 20 rooms. I found this to be an improved upon remake of the first Evil Dead.
Enjoy
