Would Have Worked Better Without Humor

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2002)

Evil Dead 2 wasn't a bad film. I just think it would have worked better without the humor.
The first Evil Dead movie was a truly frightening film. There was no humor in sight. It was a film that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Evil Dead 2 was a comedy. In my opinion comedy and horror don't mix that well. How can you expect to be scared by a film when you know that a laugh is just around the corner? The Evil Dead didn't take itself too seriously and it just got crazier as it went on. The final scene was just a bit too crazy for me.
Evil Dead 2 can probably be enjoyed by comedy fans or those who have not watched the original. However, fans of the original who are expecting to be scared probably will be disappointed.
