Review of Evil Dead II (1987) by Hellholehorror — 17 Jan 2023
This is one of the greatest horror films ever made. It is a horror film and it is a tongue-in-cheek comedy. Everything about this is pretty much spot on. There is plenty of violence, there is much comedy, it is very fast paced yet it still remains jumpy and edgy.
It really has to be seen for anyone who even has a passing interest in horror. This is the pinnacle of the series, it takes everything that was setup in the first film and builds upon it. The third film has a more action orientated and the ‘remake’ more of a horror leaning, the series is probably the most similar of the following franchise entries.
This is not a remake of the first but the first 6 minutes is a recap. The rest is a rollercoaster of horrific images and stunning effects considering the budget with insanely over-the-top acting and enough dark humour to keep anyone happy.
Thoroughly excellent film, memorable and entertaining.
