Summary: The Movie That Changed My Life
Review: At the tender young age of 13 I first witnessed the brilliance and perfection that is the "Evil Dead Trilogy." What we have here is "Evil Dead II," a movie that forever changed the way in which I viewed cinema. No longer would any movie do; this is the movie that I hold as the precedent that all films should aspire to be."Evil Dead II" starts off as a re-cap of its predecessor, "The Evil Dead." It works as a reintroduction and a way to bring those viewers who did not see the first one up to speed. From there on, Ash (Bruce Campbell) has to once again face the forces of the dead, evil dead that is, who have been brought back to the world of the living due to readings from the book of the dead. Mayhem ensues in that famous little cabin and the woods that surround it. I don't want to spoil much in regard to the story since I hold this series in such high regard, but the story doesn't end here. After seeing "Evil Dead II," you have to go and check out "Army Of Darkness." Now, for the die hard fans that have come across this page and are now reading this, here are the great perks from this limited edition print. Make sure you get the "Evil Dead II: Limited Edition;" there is a "Special Edition," but it isn't nearly as cool. This limited edition is a print of only 50,000 copies, comes in a special tin case, features both full frame and wide screen versions, audio commentary from director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell, a collector's information booklet, a making-of featurette, THX sound, and features a look at the new video game, "Evil Dead: Hail To The King." I love this movie and this is a great package that does the film justice. If you want to add this film to your DVD collection, I suggest this edition. Hurry, there are only so many left. You'll enjoy it.

Summary: EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN Rocks!
Review: EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN is the highly anticipated sequel to the infamouse cult original THE EVIL DEAD. This film starts out almost as if it will be a remake of the original: Ash and his new girlfriend (?) are driving up to the same cabin in the woods and once again play the tape recording of spells that will summon the dead to possess the living. But this time, Ash takes charge and actually wants to battle the demons that are alway trying to possess him. This film is 50% horror and 50% comedy, and much better made than the original.

Summary: Groovy!
Review: This is one of the funniest horror comedies I've ever seen. Bruce Campbell is one of my favorite actors and in this sequal to the original Evil Dead he's at his best at pleasing the crowd. The movie is about Ash and his new girlfriend going up to the same cabin to spend time together. However, strange things start happening again, such as zombies attacking, girls getting molested by trees, Bruce Campbell getting gallons of blood poured one him and more! Some very funny scenes, when Ash carves his girl friend's head apart, his reflection jumping out at him and his chainsaw hand. The film is kind of a rehash of the first but still good enough to be a successful sequal to the first. Followed by Army of Darkness the Evil Dead trilogy is one of the best of them all!

Summary: This is why...
Review: ....I love Sam Raimi. Evil Dead 2 has got to be simply one of the best Horror/Comedies out there. Bruce Cambell is a great actor and I'm still wondering why he hasn't gotten a decent flick after this Trilogy of not so much Terror, but more of Gore. Although Evil Dead 2 can seem very stupid and full of over acting, it's not. The camera work is simply amazing. Not for all tastes definately. But, if you like a fun, entertaining, laugh a minute, thrill a minute roller coaster ride in to your imagination, Evil Dead 2 is the movie to watch. Also recommended, the hilarious follow up, Army of Darkness.

Summary: So much better than the first...
Review: Basically the premise is exactly the same as the first Evil Dead film. Ash and his girlfriend go up to spend the weekend at a deserted cabin that contains the book of the dead. Evil Dead 2 is so much more accomplished in terms of special effects and cinematography. Some of the shots in this film are nothing less than spectacular (when Ash gets hit by the evil force and gets driven through the forest at 100 mph). The camera work is amazing and Raimi speeds up the film shots at exactly the right moments (when Ash's hand turns against him). The ending is simply awesome and leads directly into Army of Darkness. Evil Dead 2 has everything: lots of gore, some classic Ash lines, superb FX, and top notch cinematography. Every true horror collector should own this film.

Summary: Ash Returns In the One of Grooviest Horror Sequels Ever!!
Review: Exceptional film virtuoso Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Darkman, and a Simple Plan) dared to rethink his concept on (the Ultimate Exercise in Cinematic Terror) Evil Dead, which had already become a huge cult classic favorite worldwide, by continuing the story of girlish wimp Ashley Williams (Bruce Campbell) after his initial bloody escapade at the infamous log cabin but with a surprising atmospheric twist in presentation. Beginning with a brief recap minus Ash's sister and the other couple from ED 1, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn commences with Ash again becoming prey to all types of Deadite pranks, practical jokes, attempts of bodily possession, unholy possession of his girlfriend Linda, and becoming the butt of all the undead's jokes. Ash is again left to fend for himself against the evil undead denizens sprung from the unholy Necronomicon (Book of Dead) by accident. Unfortunately for Ash, his journey into hell is just starting, and this was just a description of the film's first five minutes. Due to ED 2's unparalleled storytelling zeal and zany sensibilities, it would a criminal offense to give any more away on this goofy classic's plot. Suffice to say it is an indescribable descent into an inconceivable realm where comedy and horror merge into one blissful concoction of hilarity that single-handedly redefined the borders of horror film from then on. Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn should be seen all those who enjoy insanely creative movies that push the boundaries of cinema. Even those who think this film may be too violent or disturbing should at least take a brief gander at this. Unlike its predecessor, Evil Dead 2 mixes the sensibilities of a Three Stooges picture with the formula of Evil Dead to conceive an illogical yet supremely entertaining spoof on the horror film. This film is so chock full of treasured camp moments that anyone who has the slightest inkling about seeing it should. Followed by an equally notable camp classic, Army of Darkness. As for Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn Limited Edition DVD by Anchor Bay, it contains a digitally and THX sound remastered print with an outstanding anamorhphic wide screen presentation that all Dead Heads are entitled to see, a fascinating commentary track with Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and others, the Gore The Merrier featured containing behind the scenes footage, storyboard drawings, and much much more. A Must Buy For Any Deadite Fan or Fan of the Fantastically Macabre.

Summary: Just plain fun, don't overanalyze
Review: If you don't have the capacity to just sit and take in a movie; if every movie has to have socially redeeming commentary or academy award winning production then skip this movie. Otherwise, sit back with someone you can share a laugh with and watch this movie. It will make you jump from fright then laugh out loud 10 seconds later. The commentary track on the movie is equally entertaining, with Sam Raimi (director) and Bruce Campbell (star) trading insults and witty anecdotes about the making of this new classic.

Summary: Best comedy-horror-gore movie of all time
Review: "Evil Dead 2" ranks with "Dead Alive" and "Re-Animator" in the limited genre of black comedies full of gore and terror. The reason why this film works so well (by example, over the more popular follow-up "Army of Darkness") is because the movie never let you know for sure that it is a comedy. Example of the mix of horror and comedy: 1) The head of the decapitated girlfriend is biting our hero's hand. He runs like crazy to the shed in the backyard. 2) He traps the head in the benchpress. 3) The head talks sweetly as his girlfriend, and suddenly it changes to a demonic voice. 4) The hero reaches for the chainsaw. He opens a small curtain. No chainsaw. Only the chalk mark in the wall (like saying: here is where the chainsaw was supposed to be) 5) Cut to: the door opens abruptaly, and the decapitated body enters with the chainsaw. 6) Pure meyhem Things like that. Oh, and as a result of that bite in the hand, now that extremity is possesed by a demon, while the rest of his body is not. Excellent for a night with a group of friends. Highly recommended.

Summary: Classic "Splatstick" as Mr. Campbell would say...
Review: A classic for horror fans with a gory sense of humor. Cheesy, gory, and less scary though even funnier than The Evil Dead (sort of a funnier remake than really a sequel). The Special Edition DVD is a must have for Evil Dead fans, or fans or the genre!
