Summary: Cult Classic
Review: Gore, dismemberment, horror, blood... what else could you want?! This is definately classic though it is little over 10 years old. Like the 1st evil dead, this one is packed with lots of red stuff, but a little comedy was added in. It will leave you wanting more. You won't regret this purchase.I own both the VHS and DVD version of this movie, but the DVD version is the one to get.

Summary: Stylish, funny, gross, everything a boy needs
Review: A sequel equal to or better than the original!? Well, to be fair this is just a much a remake as it is a sequel. When I say remake, they tweeked the first of the first, geefully ignored it, and added some blantant comedy. And it works. Bruce Campbell and his girlfriend again head out to a remote cabin in the woods and mistakenly awake evil that is out to get them. This is a superb example of horror-comedy. It isn't over the line to become unintentionally stupid and still packs some scares. It's not as violent as the first (it's kinda hard to upstage a woman being raped by a tree), and it's easier to take since it's being played for laughs. I can't quite recommend it to everyone because some are sure to be unrightfully offended or grossed out by the film. But to me, this film is just great fun, easily amongst my favorites.

Summary: One word to describe this movie..Groovey
Review: Groovey is all one can say to describe this classic movie. One of the few good things to come out of the hair metal, techno cheese pop 80's. It's a funny interesting horror movie. Bruce Cambell's one liner's never get old no matter how much you here them. The FX weren't very good but hey it was the 80's what do you expect. If you like smart @$$ humor and good horror movies invite some buddies over and watch Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn!

Summary: Evil Dead 2: Better than Ever!!!
Review: First off, before I start my review of the DVD, I would like to add that Evil Dead 2 is NOT a remake. Renaissance Pictures couldn't get footage of Evil Dead from New Line, so Raimi simply re-shot some flashback footage, quickly summarizing Evil Dead. Ok, now Evil Dead 2 starts right where Evil Dead left off. The morning drives the evil spirits out of Ash, but that doesn't mean that they will come back! Ok, now for the DVD. Quite possibly the greatest horror film of all time, this is the only DVD version that matters! Evil Dead 2 has been re-released in an excellent Limited Edition tin case set. Numbered out of 50,000 copies, Evil Dead 2 Limited is loaded with extra features. The disc contains widescreen and fullscreen versions of the film, which are both excellent transfers, and the soundtrack is amazingly remixed in Dolby 5.1. Now onto the extras. First up is one of the greatest commentaries of all time, it includes Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Scott Speigel, and Greg Nicotero. Next up is The Gore the Merrier featurette. It runs about a half hour long, and is very informative with behind-the-scenes footage, and great details about the special effects. We then get a trailer, a videogame preview, talent bios, still galleries, a poster replica, and a nice 48-page booklet. Get this DVD now!!! It is rare, and will be out of print soon!

Summary: Almost Surpasses The Original
Review: Although Evil Dead 2 isn't quite as good as the first one, it is very close. The major difference between the two movies is that this sequel is pretty much a black comedy, even paying tribute to the Three Stooges. Although are some moments of Evil Dead that could be considered funny, nothing comes close to some of the moments in this movie such as Ash's hand turned evil hitting him over the head with dishes, and after knocking him out, drags him across the floor. Although some of the humor is subtle, for instance after Ash cuts off his hand and puts it under the bucket, the book he uses to weigh the bucket down is A Farewell To Arms. Evil Dead 2, however, is just as violent and fast paced as the original. If you liked the first one, you will like this one at least as much.

Summary: Groovy...
Review: Okay, so it ain't Hamlet... It's still just about the most fun you can have on a Saturday night with a bunch of your buddies without getting arrested. A sense of humor is required; nerves of steel are not necessary. The movie is worth watching if only for the delightful scene in which Ash battles his possessed hand. Anyone who disparages Bruce Campbell's talent does not have the capacity to appreciate a true genius of physical comedy. Yes, there's gore, and a lot of it, but it is so (deliberately, I'm sure) overdone that it can't be frightening. It's a good starter horror flick for those with weak hearts. The ULTIMATE Halloween party movie! (For my fellow female viewers-- BC has cheekbones you could slice a salami on). I think it's good, groovy fun all around.

Summary: That's right. Who's laughing now?
Review: Evil Dead 2 is one of the best sequels I've ever seen. First of all, how many sequels are made just to make fun of the first one? Okay, Scream 2 and 3, I'll give you those, but the whole Scream series owes much to the Evil Dead Trilogy. My personal favorite scenes are, first and foremost, the scene where Ash's evil hand breaking the dishes over Ash's head, and then dragging his body toward the butcher knife. When I first saw that, I could not stop laughing. And then when he traps the hand in the trash can, stacking heavy books on top, and the top book is "A Farewell to Arms". My other favorite scene is when the deer head and various pieces of furniture and appliances start laughing at Ash. But Ash shows his dry cool wit with such one-liners as "Groovy" "Here's your new home" and my personal favorite, "Swallow this." And the featurette "The Gore the Merrier" had lots of funny moments. The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that while it may be good, Army of Darkness is the best of the Trilogy. Thank you.

Summary: Evil Dead starts with 2
Review: I love both Evil dead 2 and army of darkness. I try to get friends to start with evil dead 2 instead of evil dead because I think it's very funny and just a great horror movie. Like others have said it is more of a remake of the first one.After this one you will want to see army of darkness. Buy or rent it today. It's a great horror/comedy.
