Summary: Workshed
Review: This film is always a fun treat to watch, non-stop thrills, chills, and laughs. You'll moan in disgust and then before your done exhaling you'll be laughing till your sides split (literally). Ash is the greatest anti-hero EVER! Who else can slay demons, devils, and witches with a shotgun in one hand and chainsaw mounted on the other? Especially after having a real bad day like - killing your girlfriend (twice), being thrown out of a car, kicked repeatedly, chased by unseen demons, and cutting off your own possessed hand, not anyone that I can think of. Chock full of blood, guts, monsters, killer dialog, and impressive special effects, a very fun movie time and again - and what an ending! By far the best of the trilogy and a fantastic DVD package.

Summary: Funny. As in "milk from the nostrils" funny!
Review: Worth the price for the commentary alone. Hearing Bruce Campbell rip on what has arguably become his most famous role will keep you in stitches every time you listen. Campy, goofy, bloody as all hell, yet way ahead of its time. The camera work is amazing. Other reviewers before me have said that it's like the Three Stooges decided to make a horror film. There is no better description, and no finer compliment.

Summary: Great horror film
Review: This is good horror film. The gore is pretty popular and violence is strong. I love this movie. Ash and his girlfriend take a trip to an old cabin and accidently plays a recording with a spell that brings the forest to life and posesses his girlfriend and also those who come to the cabin later on. Great special effects. Also, if you like this movie, rent Dawn of the Dead, The Evil Dead, Dead Alive, or Army of Darkness.

Summary: Good but Overrated
Review: I won't repeat the plot as it has already been done to death in other reviews. However, to put in my two cents, I believe that there are much better (i.e. funnier and grosser) examples of horror-comedy that deserve greater attention than the Evil Dead series such as Bride of Re-Animator. That being said, this movie does deserve viewing. Besides good special effects, one of its greatest assets is Bruce Campbell's wonderful performance as the flawed but likeable lead character that adds something most horror-comedy movies are missing: a hero worth rooting for. This has the effect of also placing the movie in the adventure genre (which Raimi later became rich off of with Hercules and Xena). It is far less silly than the Toxic Avenger (also fun) so you do get more into the story. And, unlike Bride of Re-Animator, it won't ever leave you feeling nauseous (but, the tradeoff is that with far less tension, the humour is less of a welcome relief). Watching this movie is like reading an enjoyable, tongue-in-cheek horror comic. Don't take it too seriously, sit back and have fun.

Review: Ash comes back after 10 years since the inncident with the Demons in the Cabin, he decides to fight back those haunting memories but only to be haunted by them again. it's hilarious, exciting and fun at the same time, it's even a remake of the 1982 Cult Horror Shock fantasy. those who own Evil Dead and Army of Darkness get this DVD.

Summary: Great Movie, Hilarious Commentary!
Review: When i heard that the studios were making aa special edition of evil dead 2 I immediatly went on the hunt for it, and it was worth it. This DVD ROCKS! The special features are great especially the commentary I never laughed so loud like i did with this one, they joke about everything from the sound effects to jewelery! The trailer was well made, and the video game preview was modest, I didn't really enjoy the game itself but it's worth a rental. BUY THIS OR ILL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!!!

Summary: Such a blessed thing is laughter...
Review: I busted out laughing so many times during "Evil Dead 2" that I was surprised to be scared at certain parts. If the Three Stooges decided to put on hockey masks and make a horror film, this would've been the movie they made. Sam Raimi's spectacular sequel to the infinitely popular cult series that was spawned by his visionary "The Evil Dead" (originally titled "Book of the Dead," but the producers thought that a literary reference in the title would send prospective viewers astray) is so endlessly funny, violent and action-packed with uncanny sound effects and manic cinematography from Peter Deming (who worked with Wes Craven on "Screams 2 and 3"). It's a never-ending exercise in dark humor and all-out original thinking, and right at its center, a marvelously ordinary hero, Ashley J. Williams, played with amazing physical comic talent by Bruce Campbell, who is apparently the master of flipping himself over. The film starts off as a sort of recap of the events that left Ash alone in the woods during the first "Evil Dead," with some different adaptations (his other friends in the original were never there, only his girlfriend Linda). Then we're launched headfirst into this hair-raising carnival ride that takes plunges into all-out comedy and then rockets us back up into loops of hellacious scares. The very first brand new scene of the movie is something of a masterpiece as the Evil being in the woods sweeps Ash off his feet and carries him through the treetops. I didn't know whether to think "cool" or start laughing so hard I'd puke, so I did both (didn't puke, though). The new characters are introduced, some are turned into demons, some aren't. All of them reach a grisly demise either at the hands of the demonic forces of the woods, or by the ax of Ash himself, who is always in imminent danger of converting into a member of the Evil Dead fan club himself. As is the usual of films of the horror genre back in the eighties, the acting can be laughably bad at times. Bruce isn't exactly impressive, but he has his moments of believability, and he wears them proudly. But bad acting or not, "Evil Dead 2" is one of the best times a horror film has ever given me. I attribute this to a terrific comic performance from Campbell, the experimental camerawork from Peter Deming, and the kinetic direction from Sam Raimi. This is a movie that will be offering a good time to generations of dedicated film buffs in the years to come.
