An awesome horror comedy!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2008)

Five years since Ash (Bruce Campbell) battled the demonic creatures in the woods in Tenessee, he has thought to have forgotten about that horrible night. Now he sets off on a vacation with a girl named Linda to a secluded cabin in the woods, over there he discovers an old black magic book, a dagger and a reel-to-reel tape containing recordings of a professor whom has translated the book's spells. Ash unknowingly releases evil spirits that start to torment, haunt and possess anyone around him into vicious demons as he fights the creatures, his own possessed hand and southern hicks.
An asskicking and action packed sequel to the brilliant 1981 horror classic "The Evil Dead", writer-producer-director Sam Raimi has conjured up an excellent sequel that surpasses the original. While some may say it's more of a remake then a sequel, i would have to say that i love the way it works as a semi-remake/sequel together in one film. The film is over-the-top gory and has many good laughs to make it a horror comedy classic for the 80's! the make-up effects by KNB are excellent along with the nifty low budget special effects and has more of the same charm that made the original so dang popular.
While the first one is an excellent and gory as hell scare-feast, this sequel stands as a comical and bloody yet slimy feast for the eyes, ears and nerves alike.
