EVIL DEAD II--YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD GHOUL DOWN!

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2001)

Since the early 80's American horror movies have changed their format. Rather than move along with one scare after another and thus always keep the audience on the edge of their seats a new element was added,COMEDY.
Not that a laugh now and then isn't a good idea, it is, but, almost every film from Scream to Nightmare on Elm Street has it's funny moments. It is getting to be a bit to much in my opinion. However, Evil Dead II breaks all the rules by being funny all the time. It works!! The cheezy special effects and Bruce Campbell's over acting add flavor to this simple but effective story.
If you can believe that a man can cut off his own hand with a chain saw and then fight off, with great gusto, demons from hell your in for a treat. This film is relentless with one shock after another. Anyone who I know who has see this feature has the same opinion, it was a hell of a ride. I will give EVIL DEAD II a 10 for it's feverish enthusiasm, wonderful erie mood and extra special camera work.If you dig zombie movies, THIS ONE"S FOR YOU.
