Summary: Brainless Dead
Review: What was wrong with it? What WASN'T wrong with it?! Well, let's see... Blood and gore don't make a movie good. Hands don't stab people in mid-air. Rotting corpses don't do ballet. Household objects don't laugh at you. People don't suddenly turn on each other for no reason. Bullet wounds don't disappear after only a few minutes. Pieces of paper don't scatter themselves all over the basement. Scary ghosts aren't eager to help you out. People tend to bleed after they dismember themselves. Dead body parts don't make squeaky noises. Having a little lightbulb smashed over your head doesn't render you unconscious. People don't punch monsters with their fist when they have a chainsaw in the other hand. Using "big" words in your movie doesn't make you any smarter... The list goes on and on. Whatever happened to common sense?! I often wondered if this was meant to be a comedy rather than a horror, especially when the girl kept slamming the door on the guy she accidentally wounded. *sigh* You people frighten me.

Summary: The only thing scary about this film is it's title.
Review: Not really a sequel. EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN is just a remake of the original with better effects, better picture and sound. Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his girlfriend accidently stumble upon a voice recording that voices passages from "THE BOOK OF THE DEAD", unleashing ferocious forest demons that pretty much possess anyone in sight. There is ALOT of senseless violence, over-the-top gore (and acting) and an absolutely ridiculous climax. A completely OVER-RATED, pointless and utterley annoying movie. I must admit, I really liked the original because, although it was a MUCH lower-budgeted production, it was actually scary. The sequel is as scary as an episode of THE MUPPET SHOW. However let me point out the films good points. As previously mentioned, this film has a MUCH HIGHER budget than it's predessesor and it's evident in the effects (which may please some) but in my opinion BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. The original had excellent and frightening make-up effects. The demons in EVIL DEAD 2 look rubbery and fake. Bruce Campbell's performance is pretty much the only reason I recommend the film. He is a GREAT performer and some of his slapstick routines and facial expressions are extraordinary- especially during the "possessed" hand sequence. But like many reviewers pointed out, this film is more of a comedy than a horror piece. It plays more like "The Naked Gun" with buckets of blood thrown in. So for TRUE HORROR movie fans, if you want some genuine chills, skip this one and view the original. Despite the budget restraints, it's a MUCH more effective and satisfying shocker. The only genuine emotions that will be aroused by this film is genuine disappointment. Not only for wasting your time watching it but also for wasting your heard earned cash buying it.

Summary: way better than the first
Review: without a doubt this one is way better than the original. more funny gags and gore galore. the funniest sequence would be at the beginning when Campbell is hit sky high then lands in the puddle and he shakes the demon out of him. then later on hes chased back to the cabin and all threw the house. just great. and the laughing deer head kicks ass too. a must see for anyone

Summary: Swallow This!
Review: The Evil Dead trilogy is unique in the fact that it is one of those rare series where a movie's sequels prove to be more popular than the original. Often when you hear a fan quote something from the Evil Dead franchise, they're picking out a line from Evil Dead 2 or 3 (a.k.a. Army of Darkness). If you know anything about the film, you know that Evil Dead 2 isn't really a sequel; it's more of a rehash of the original with Bruce Campbell playing the hapless chump, Ash, who accidentally unleashes a horde of demonic spirits out in the woods. The demons possess his girlfriend, try to kill him, and attempt to possess Ash himself. Meanwhile, a seperate group of college students (going to the cabin to visit some relatives who have discovered the Book of the Dead) and rednecks (leading the way since the bridge is out) appear only to find Ash and all hell broken loose. This go-round, Raimi and company inject a healthy dose of slapstick humor into the world of the Evil Dead. No other leading man has endured as much punishment as Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead 2 or its follow-up. The demons don't so much as kill him as beat him senseless, time and time again. In fact, rather than kill him, the evil spirits have more fun just possessing Bruce's hand and forcing him to smash a stack of dishes over his own head. His girlfriend's head pops up just to chew on his fingers. In short, Ash has a bad night. The Evil Dead in this movie definitely have a sense of fun. A flying eyeball lands in the mouth of a screaming female. A ghoulish woman creeps about in the fruit cellar, and the deer head mounted on the wall laughs at Bruce's misfortunes with an eerie glee. Needless to say, Evil Dead 2 is zanier and more over the top than Raimi's low-budget original. Sure, there are decapitations and death. Sure, there are dismemberments. However with tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek, Raimi's manic energy behind the camera is as entertaining as ever. The camera chases Ash through every room of the cabin. The camera smacks against Ash and follows him as he goes soaring through the trees and lands head-first into a mud puddle. The camera goes just about everywhere and anywhere Raimi wants it to, often in places where you least expect. Bruce Campbell falls into classic-Ash mode in this film, particularly near the end when he decides to face the evil head on. Hard to fight evil with only one hand? Well, stick a chainsaw in its place, and Ash is ready to roll. How does Ash prepare himself to go against the forces of evil? What words of wisdom does he have? "Groovy." Evil Dead 2 cemented Raimi's reputation as a cult favorite and as a director with an eye for visual excitement. Bruce Campbell still enjoys a heathly cult fan base, due mostly for this role. If you're looking for some silly, mindless horror fun, this is your film. Evil Dead 2 comes with a decent amount of extras. As always, Raimi and Campbell put together a very informative and entertaining commentary track. There's also a featurette entitled "The Gore the Merrier." You can view the film in either widescreen or full frame, and it's much, much prettier than that old VHS copy your videostore still carries. This film is a must for horror fans, Raimi fans, and Bruce Campbell stalkers.

Summary: EVIL DEAD 2 Is A Thrill Ride!
Review: Very fun!!!
Bruce Campbell is still stuck in the cabin! Meanwhile a girl and her boyfriend are traveling up to the cabin and meet another couple along the way. They don't know that demons are waiting for them at the cabin!!!
Well they finally get there only to find Ash (Bruce Campbell). They realize that they have to do battle with the demons!!!!!! I thought that this was a great horror comedy! It made me laugh a whole lot! I must say that the gore wasn't as good as in pt 1! But don't worry there is plenty of it!

Summary: Evil Alive!
Review: Evil Dead 2 is amazing! I rented it one night and couldn't stop watching it. It is extremely funny, and also very gory. Though the gore usually looks fake, some stuff might make people with weak stomachs cringe. Not as much gore as the first one by a long shot, so if it is gore you want, get Evil Dead. The reason I recommended Evil Dead as a gory movie instead of Dead Alive is because Evil Dead has Bruce Campbell. You will love this movie, even if you are not a fan of horror. The only thing bad about this DVD is that it lacks special feature. Still very cool though. An awsome movie event thet you cannot miss. If I could give it 6 stars I would, but you can't

Summary: Like Gorror movies?
Review: No, Gorror is NOT a real word. It is a word I use to describe awsome, gory movies. If you are into gore, and perhaps a little comedy, you should view this fine cinematic masterpiece. I don't want to give away any details of this movie, like countless other reviews have done, but I must say, this is probably one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. If you are not a big fan of Gory movies, you should check out the excellent sequel to Evil Dead 2, titled "Army of darkness". All three titles in the evil dead trilogy are entertaing, each in a different way. The first one is a Horror movie, The second on is horror/comedy, and the third one is action/horror/comedy. But if there is one thing that all these movies all have in common, it is that they are all excellent, and all have Bruce Campbell in them.

Summary: Evil Dead II. REVIEW
Review: Not so much a sequel as it is remake, EVIL DEAD 2 takes the horror comedy genre to a whole new level. Campbell is goofy hero, Ash, who once again does battle with the demonic forces that have been unleashed in the woods. Filled with gruesome over-the-top slapstick and some of the very best make-up effects (courtesy of the good people at KNB) ever seen in that time, "Evil Dead 2" is a ghoulish good time. Sam Raimi has clearly been inspired by The Three Stooges here as you get to see Ash borrow a whole lot of their old gags. Actor Bruce Campbell was correct when he called this "the mother of all sequels".
