comedy horror genius

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2004)

This is one of those rare events.... a sequel better than the original. Raimi, Tappart and Campbell deliver in spades what the original lacked. As funny as it is gory and as silly as it is scary this remake/sequel is a brilliant retelling of the haunted woods story with all the silly gore, one liners and occasional one worder's ("groovy") and physical stunts you could ever wish for (the one man brawl is a Bruce Cambell speciality).
Much more tongue in cheek than the first film, this is more like 'The Three Stooges' (a major influence of Raimi's) meets Dawn of the Dead. Daft, crazy, funny, gory and manic only go someway to describing this wonderful film.
I love it to living death.....
