More of a Remake than a Sequel but Still delivers the goods.

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2005)

An couple by name of Ash (Bruce Campbell) and Linda (Denise Bixler) has decide to stay in the cabin for the weekend. When Ash plays an old tape recorder has the power to awakening the dead. Since the Evil is there to haunt them. Ash has to fight them to survive from the Evil Dead with the help of four people (Sarah Berry, Dan Hicks, Kassie Wesley and Richard Domeier), who came to the cabin unexpectedly.
Directed by Sam Raimi (Spider Man 1 & 2, Crimewave, Darkman) made an excellent sequel to the original. But the film does feel more like a remake at times. The film has enough dark humor, action, gore and style that it will keep you watching.
DVD has an fine anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (Also in Pan & Scan) with an good digitally remastered-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD's best extra is the running commentary track is by the co-writer/director:Raimi, actor:Campbell, co-writer:Scott Speigel and Make-Up Effects Artist:Greg Nicotero. DVD also has 30 minutes featurette, theatrical trailer, game trailer, photo galleries and Bios from Sam Raimi & Bruce Campbell. This DVD is Digitally Remastered in THX Picture Quality and Sound. The film's overtly slapstick may turn off some horror fans (Raimi's tribute to The Three Stooges in the film). But it's unique and a one of a kind film. Sam Raimi's brother-Ted Raimi plays the Demon Hernietta. (****/*****).
