Who's laughing now? I am!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2000)

Man, I love ED2. If you've heard of this and are researching it on IMDB, then odds are you've already seen it, so there's no need to explain what it is about. It follows the first rule of a horror/comedy which is don't make the monsters funny, make the characters funny. When the monsters become funny, the horror is lost, and a stupid movie is born. Funny things can happen TO the monsters, but they themselves cannot be the source of the laughs, and that's the case with ED2! The deadites are truly menacing and there are some great scares, but Ash the hero is the one who draws the laughs. Scared out of his mind and a bit on the slow side, Bruce Campbell acts the way a normal person probably would under these circumstances, namely he screams in terror and fights for his very life. The best horror/comedy ever made.
