drop dead laughing...

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2002)

Ok. The greatest film of all time. Who is to say it is not? Midnight Express, Deliverance, Cuckoo's Nest, Clockwork Orange, all had one thing missing: while the main character(s) had everything possible go wrong, they did not make me laugh my butt off. I swear, I fainted the first time I saw this film, and I still need to pause it in order to catch my breath. I have seen this film probably more times than any other and it never gets stale. Cool thoughts by some who say Ash never left the cabin, it's a continuation of the first Evil Dead. We all can have theories regarding the Evil Dead/Evil Dead II relationship, but I just think it's funnier to think that Ash, after all he went through the first time, goes back for more abuse. And we are talking the worst possible abuse - beyond any sane person's imagination. Thank you Sam Raimi, for you are completely insane to have come up with these three great Evil Dead films which are cherished so much by so many. And thank you Bruce, for you are the King of Comedy. Groovy.
PS: To those of you who don't like this film I would like to recommend "Blind Waiter", a short by a very young Sam Raimi. That'll serve you right!
