why is evil dead II my favorite film?

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 1999)

I love evil dead II. I first saw evil dead (the original) in the 7th grade. And it really was a disturbing and frightening film, for a 7th grader. So when I saw evil dead 2 in a video store i had to rent it. This movie is one of the first movies that made me feel like i was watching a live action cartoon. Bruce Campbell plays physical comedy and cheese to a T. And he looks like such a classic movie star while he does it. This is only a horror film because the title says so. It will make you jump, but it always brings you back with a laugh. The camera work in this film is brilliant, a total barrage on the senses. and few film moments are as disturbing and infectious as the giggling living room. if you like this film you should try and find Raimi's film "crime Wave". not as well made but it has its moments. Also Cassie Wesley (Bobbie Joe in Evil Dead II--the chick that eats the eyeball.) is from my home town, and we are all "backards hicks" like that.
