Groovy

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2005)

The sequel to The Evil Dead. The first movie was an excellent example how you can be creative if you don't have the money for a lot of effects. And thus playing with camera-work to create the illusion that there is something happening.
In this sequel, which is partly a remake, we see some of the same scenes as in The Evil Dead, but made with more money. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. But Raimi adds something more to his film. Ash, the main character, was kind of a wimp in the first film but now quickly grows into a mean moron who is a wonder in one-liners. If you want too see a movie with historic one-liners (and hilarious scenes), you should see this one. At one point in the movie, Ash just keeps spitting them out. Again this is a nice masterpiece from Raimi, who sets his name as the inventor of horror movies with humor and also develops the character for the third film.
