The Best of The Trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2006)

The Evil Dead 2.
After a nice debut movie, we get a sequel. Movie sequels tend to not be as good as the first. Not here. This is far better than the first installment. Far better.
The setup is Ash returns to the place of the first with a new squeeze. Why he returns, I don't know. The movie starts quickly too. Before you know it, the action and violence moves quickly.
Similar to the first movie, we only have a cast of five people. Two babes, Ash, and some dudes. Ash, who starts off as a coward will get more balls-out and will stand up to the Evil that confronts him.
The violence is just as gruesome as the first. Even more blood here and gets obscene. The Evil Dead here is even more maniacal than the first. The acting is better and more focused. Unlike the first movie, the acting is not novice. And Ash utters the famous catch phrase here: "Groovy". You will also notice that this is the prequel to the Army of Darkness.
The directing is even more insane than the first. Sam Raimi is nuts with the camera. The casting was well done. And the makeup is even more grotesque and sinister. They outdone themselves here. Well done.
This movie is also has well executed humor too. Nothing beats the sight of a headless body with a chainsaw trying to kill you!
The Last Word: Excellent. This is definitely the best of the Evil Dead trilogy. This flick has humor, horror, and suspense. I was very impressed with this. Want decent gore and some humor? Want a timeless classic? Watch this. Evil Dead 2 is nearly perfect. Awesome horror.
