Classic Raimi

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2005)

Taking place right after Evil Dead.Ash is alone in the cabin from hell,and the deadites just won't stay dead.Ash is now aided by the daughter of Professor Knowby who knows the history of the Necronomicon.The deadites just can't stop torturing Ash,movie goers know this is the entry where Ash lopps off his possessed hand at the wrist.Evil Dead II takes a different approach than one,it mixes horror and comedy beautifully.Unlike Army of Darkness though the humor is darker.The gore is still plentiful,Evil Dead II earns it's R rating.Army of Darkness could have been a PG-13.I'm sorry Bruce but Ash is truly your greatest creation.2 has a much larger budget than 1 allowing better make-up and special effects.Ash himself becomes an impressive looking deadite.Evil Dead II goes more into the action genre as well.Ash sports a chainsaw where his right hand once was allowing some cool stuff to happen.The film has a great supporting cast to back Bruce up.Dan Hicks plays the arrogant hillbilly Jake.Sarah Berry as Sarah is my personal favorite love interest for Ash.Sam Raimi was a great director,he created fun oddball movies.They were zany and different.Spider-Man is so cliché it gets boring at times.Sam a word of advice try something different for Spidey or make Evil Dead IV...
