No time to yawn...dead by dawn.

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2005)

Is it a sequel or a re-make? Director Sam Raimi has his lone survivor from EVIL DEAD(1981)Ash Williams(Bruce Campbell)back in the woods again at battle with demonic spirits. This time Ash himself becomes a part-time zombie. Visitors arrive only to be sustenance for the horrid demons summoned by chants from The Book of the Dead.
Campbell is purposely having fun enough to come across campy. The most entertaining part of this film is when Ash is alone and fighting off his possessed hand. Alright, maybe this is deliberate comedy. Some pretty cool special effects...cheap they may be. Blood again splatters, spews and squirts. Hell, horror couldn't be more fun. Notice that many of the props also appeared in EVIL DEAD. Also appearing with the square-jawed Campbell are: Sarah Berry, Kassie DePaiva, Dan Hicks, Denise Bixler and Ted Raimi.
