Join us.........again.....

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2013)

Ash takes his girlfriend Linda to a secluded cabin in the woods where he plays back a professor's tape recorded recitation of passages from the Book of the Dead.
The spell calls up an evil force from the woods which turns Linda into a monstrous Deadite, and threatens to do the same to Ash.
When the professor's daughter and her entourage show up at the cabin, the night turns into a non-stop battle.
With chainsaw and shotgun on one side, demon horde and flying eyeball on the other...
So it carries on straight from the last shot of the first movie, and carries one from there, but really, its more of a remake, which is good in parts, and seriously overrated in others.
Campbell defines himself as a cultural icon in this movie, he's an amazingly physical actor, and has brilliant comic timing. The rest of the cast suffer though because of Campbell, and really just stay in the background, until they turn into deadlines.
It's got plenty of splatter, and effects are good, but do yourself a favour, and don't watch it too soon after the original, because you will get a sore sense of déjà Vu.
Fun, but a little lazy, and seriously overrated.
