Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn
9 out of 10 demons agree it's more convenient to kill people in a tent than people in a cabin.
Unfortunately, the couple in this horror-comedy has no sacrificial campers on their lawn.
Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his girlfriend (Denise Bixler) decide to stay at a cabin in the woods.
After settling in, Ash uncovers a recording from the previous lodger that reads from an ancient tome: Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
Playing the passages aloud awakens an evil entity in the cabin, which then possesses Ash's girlfriend.
Meanwhile, the daughter (Sarah Berry) of the man on the tape shows up with her research assistant, her hillbilly guides and missing pages from the book.
More a remake than a sequel, director Sam Raimi works the kinks out of his own original by infusing humour and introducing filmdom's most revered anti-hero.
Incidentally, the easiest way to de-terrify a cabin in the woods is clear-cutting. (Green Light)
