Summary: You have to try hard to like this.
Review: I didn't enjoy this. I will admit the film has elaborate and original direction tho. But the story is bad and too much hokum doesn't entertain me. There is NO plot and many events and details just do NOT make any sense whatsoever. It is all so confusing and annoying. There is only one good part of this film. The scene where the moose's head starts to laugh is pretty cool but everything else is just so dull and [bad]. I didn't have a clue what the [heck] was going on. There was hardly any blood, hardly any gore and a very low body count. How can this be a cult horror film? Some of you may defend it and say that it is a celebration of low-budget schlock. But there is another movie out there that is the exact same. It's called Evil Dead. I know this is NOT a remake, but a sequel, but why did it have to be THE EXACT SAME THING all over again? I think Bruce Campbell is a teriffic physical actor. As good as Jim Carrey. He was also the only actor in the film I recognised. If this film is so great how come none of them had a career afterwards? I think Sam Ramai is a very imaginative director and he did a better job with Army of Darkness and Spiderman. Okay they had bigger budgets, but that isn't affecting my opinion. Just forget this one. Learn from me. The DVD comes in a great package, is in Dolby 5.1 and is anamorphically enhanced at 1.85:1.

Summary: Entertainingly Disturbing!
Review: This movie was certainly interesting. My friends and I had to watch it a couple of times to actually get the full affect. Bruce Campbell's performance as "Ash" our, unlikely hero, is truly a credit to acting! The only thing is that it was just a remake of the first one! It seemingly took place afer the first Evil Dead, but everything happen again, and in the same order! But, despite that, it was truly a great movie. Not really a true horror film, but definately scary.

Summary: Evil Dead II
Review: The follow up to the creepy Evil Dead is actually a remake of the same but on a more high scale level. The transfer is quite good, but again, this movie is not that old so the original print is not that dated. While the first of the series focused on a more surreal set, the follow up relies heavily on physical slapstick and extreme gore. You will either find yourself totally creeped out or laughing too hard at some of the effects and send ups of horror films. Either way, this is highly recommended viewing for fans of the horror genre. Mostly overlooked upon it's original screening, this is fast becoming a cult classic. Get it while it's not!

Summary: one of my top ten horror movies of all time
Review: Evil dead 2, while being a sequel, is in my opinion, the best of the trilogy. Everything a true horror fan wants is on abundant display. Gore, humor, funky camara shots & Bruce Campbell, combine to make this a true genre masterpeice. The current horror movie crop of crap should take notice of how true horror should be

Summary: Have to have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This completely blows the first release of the Evil Dead II on DVD! If you are a fan you will never get over the quality that goes into the THX mastered version in video and audio (obviously)!! I would never point a Evil dead fan in the wrong direction. This will be a treasured addition with out a doubt. Get it now and forever be entertained!!!!!

Summary: Limited Edition is of limited appeal
Review: This review refers to the Limited Edition, the version that comes in the overlarge collector's tin that is too big to fit in any normal DVD case. Anyone considering purchasing the LE ought to know what they are getting into. Evil Dead 2: DBD is a wonderful send-up of the slasher/moster horror genre. The film's virtues could take up all 1000 words of the review, so suffice to say that Raimi and Campbell made a wonderful piece of work here, especially considering how it was shot and the budget on which it was created. Now, for the dirt on the LE DVD. The metal tin, although cool, is huge. About three inches taller than a normal DVD case, and about two inches thick, it won't fit in a holder, and will look really out of place next to your other discs. The cover art is awesome (it was used for the British version of the movie poster, which is re-created on a mini-poster inside, a "poster" roughly the size of a postcard). The movie and sound transfers are not great, but considering what they had to work with, I think they did the best they could. The final complaint about the packaging is that the disc itself is in a cheap jewel-case you place in a little niche in the tin. Sorry, but they could have found a more aesthetically pleasing way to package such an expensive disc. The "Gore the Merrier" feature will appeal mainly to fans interested in how the many creature and blood effects were made. It runs about a half-hour, and is educational, but more of a "sneak-preview showcase" of making monsters than an actual "how-to class." The video game preview is a joke; it doesn't show anything you can't download off the web anyway, and the quality is so bad, you feel the urge to squint because it is so fuzzy at times. Thankfully, game previews usually look nothing like the final products, so there is some hope for this (groovy-looking) Alone-In-The-Dark, Resident Evil clone. The gem of this DVD is the commentary track. Raimi and Campbell have never disappointed in their commentary on other discs, and they follow up nicely here as well. I wonder why there wasn't two tracks, as there was on the Army of Darkness LE and the Evil Dead Special Edition, but I'm not going to complain too loudly, as the commentary here is almost worth what they are charging for this disc. (Everything's alright now!) All in all, casual fans might want to stick with the regular edition. The Limited Edition is pretty much only for collectors. If you want a copy of this DVD, though, better act quickly, because once they are gone, the price-gougers on eBay will start their work.

Summary: If You Don't Have It, Buy It! Simple Enough?
Review: This is simply the best DVD I've ever seen! I was impressed by this movie's improvement on sound, picture quality, and in-menu extras. I'm a big fan of the Evil Dead series...but, even if you're not, you will still love it. Horror/Comedy fans will KILL for this baby! Trust me, Its worth while.

Summary: Very well done remastering
Review: I'm giving this five stars on the criteria i bought it on - the digital remastering of the sound was very well done. The picture is crisp - no flaws noticible on the DVD, the migration of rthe sound to 5.1 was great (the scene where Bobby Joe is being dragged through the wood is so great on my new THX system) A cullt class - the tin container it comes in looms over my DVD Collection - the insert the put in is one of the funniest things in my apartment where they describe the family orientation of the movie.

Summary: ...Let's go carve ourselves a witch.
Review: Evil Dead 2, while technically a sequel, holds very little in common with "Evil Dead." Evil Dead was one of the scariest, creepiest, and grossest films I've ever seen. Evil Dead 2 is one of the funniest! The gore in Evil Dead II is WAY over the top. (If you've seen Arthur's battle with the Black Knight in "Monty Python's Holy Grail"... THAT'S the sort of gore I'm talking about.) Campy lines are thrown around in here the like you've not heard since the Batman TV series. The Premise: Ash (Ashley Williams for those who saw the first one) and his girlfriend drive up to a secluded cabin in the woods for a weekend of fun. They come across a tape recording of ancient incantations...that, when played, release an unseen evil that stalks them. When the cabin owner's daughter and team show up, the evil comes for them all! If you don't try to take this movie seriously, you won't be dissapointed. One of the film's scenes was once rated in the top ten fight scenes of all time: Ash versus... his hand. Now, for the DVD goodies!
First, the DVD and "booklet" come in a tin! I was impressed by the tin and the arwork on it, but the booklet is a bit of a let-down. The pictures in it are simply screen grabs (and not very good ones) from the movie.
THX and Widescreen add back what's been missing all these years. It's nice to see (clearer!) all of the bits we've been missing and the 5.1 audio tracks make those chase scenes sound like you're right there!
The featurette 'The Gore the Merrier' is fantastic and left me wanting more! It would be great to see more of the behind the scenes antics of this crew, as it's plain to see (hear in the commentary) that they had fun making the film.
And, the teaser for the video game "Evil Dead: Hail to the King" has me chomping at the bit! I can't wait to play a game as Ash! "You want a little??" If you're an Evil Dead fan, this Limited Edition MUST be in your collection. If you just like slapstick/comedy/horror, you can't lose with this one. When it comes down to it, if legions of undead started roaming the Earth, I'd want Ash nearby! Not just for protection, but also for comic relief!
