sequel/remake to Evil Dead

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2005)

A remake/sequel (who cares) of Evil Dead. More of the same. This time more slapstick and played for laughs. Still very gory and gruesome, more so than the first. The plot is the same as the original. Four stupid teenagers spend the weekend in an isolated cabin in the woods. They find the Necromicon - an ancient book of the dead - and unleash the demons from the forest. This movie is a total mix of gore, horror, comedy and camp and it succeeds due to the genius of Raimi. Though it's ultra-low budget the FX are great. If you liked Evil Dead see this one, then onto Army of Darkness. The gags paying homage to the Three Stooges are hysterical. It was preceded by Evil Dead and followed by Army of Darkness.
