A treasure chest!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 1999)

Where would America be without Ashley J. "Ash" Williams, the folk legend of the 20th Century???? This is really the story of Ash's coming-of-age, although the possession story works too... But oh, what to talk about first? I suppose I should say that Bruce Campbell (who I just discovered went to high school with my mother) was shafted out of the Academy Awards for this movie. And since he is the heart of this movie, plus the Coolest Human Being On The Planet, I feel that that says it all. Evil Dead II doesn't have a bad moment...and Ash is at his finest when he deduces without assistance that a horrible sound is "maybe something...trying to break into our universe...."
