Reboot of the Original

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2017)

Actually, the second part should be a continuation, but in the end a reboot came out. Since the first part was temporarily prohibited, the director was forced to do a reboot. For the second part Sam Raimi also had ten times as much budget available as for the first part. The difference to Part I is that dance the devil II is equipped with macabre humor and some slapstick inserts. This makes the film more accessible to everyone. Of course, this is an aspect that comes to misunderstandings for real horror fans. The camera rides are impressive. Because the horror comes back by the close shots and the camera guide again. But as in the first part, the handmade masks are the real eye- catcher of this film. On the other hand, one finds that the second part has also lost its character by its humor and the slapstick...
