The element of comedy spiced it up...

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2016)

While I never really understood why they decided to slightly change the storyline a bit from part one to the continuation in part two, then it is still an interesting approach. And "Evil Dead II" is in fact a rather good movie; a sequel that actually surpassed its predecessor.
The added element of comedy might not have been welcomed by all viewers, but I think it was a stroke of genius. It helped redefine the franchise that is "The Evil Dead". And the increased budget did of course help too.
"Evil Dead II" is a good combination of horror and comedy, and Bruce Campbell really was allowed to showcase his talents in this movie and made it clear that he is without a doubt the only one capable of being Ash.
The effects in "Evil Dead II" are upped quite a lot compared to the first movie, and it really did help the movie. So there is a wider audience appeal to the sequel compared to the first movie.
Similar to the first movie, the storyline is well-thought through and is coherent. It is easy to follow and you would be way off if you wouldn't enjoy this movie - but that is of course my personal opinion.
If you are not familiar with "Evil Dead II" then it is about due time that you sit down and watch this great horror comedy.
