Evil Dead II
On an exciting trip by Ashley Williams to an isolated cabin in the forest with his girlfriend Linda. There they find a tape of a professor and a book about evil. Perhaps this book and this recording will trigger a series of evil spirits that constantly terrorize Ashley. A journalist comes to the area to study the book of evil they found. The attackers may continue to attack them until morning despite attempts.

Everything a sequel should be in terms of better but distractingly a reboot that means its predecessor should be wiped away. Two versions of the same thing by the same people is too many.

The pop-up humor and smirkiness suggest Raimi's aspiring to the fashionable company of the brothers Coen, though on the basis of this strained effort I'd say he's overshot the mark.

Good acting would not have served the material well, since it would have diluted the comedy quotient and made the campy elements seem cheap and cheesy.

The best horror-comedy ever made.

The sequel that "The Evil Dead" needed, and in the end it manages to extend its storyline, without ruining the premise from the first film.

...lives up to its place as a memorably gruesome (and often very funny) splatfest.

Evil Dead 2 is, pardon the expression, consistently lively -- a ghoulish splatter comedy that uses wildly excessive gore to provoke the kind of shock that lies between a laugh and a scream.

Campbell mugs shamelessly and clearly has a ball as scene outdoes scene in comic thrust and haphazard horror.

Evil Dead 2's rampant inventiveness and manic energy have ensured that it will endure as a cult classic.

A flashy good-natured display of special effects and scare tactics so extreme they can only be taken for laughs.

Just when things start getting too grisly, Raimi rushes in with a hilarious, sendup joke to remind us that all this blood and guts is meant in spooky Grand Guignol fun.

Enjoyment is the greatest of lost sensations at scary movies, and Evil Dead II endures as an obstinate token of those simpler times.
