Summary: A giggle
Review: I am unable to compare the film with the original as I have yet to see it, but I was very impressed with Evil Dead 2. It has a unique and outrageous sense of humour. Seeing Ash stumbling around with his girlfriends decapitated head attached to knuckles was truly funny and I can well understand the references to the three stooges comedy. Special effects were pretty low budget and really exagerated so as to poke fun at the horror genre. Well worth watching.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Pleasant, Enjoyable Experience For The Whole Family
Review: I don't know what the fascination with the first film in this series is, this one BLOWS IT OUT OF THE WATER. I hear people complain that this film isn't scary enough for them, that there isn't enough plot. This film isn't supposed to be scary, or have a coherent plot. This is like one big crazy violent carnival ride, much more of an "art" film than the boring Swedish landfill that critics seem to adore. Come on, this was called the best film of the last 15 years by Spin Magazine back in 1994, and if I remember correctly, that means that it beat out 5 Spielberg films. It's a good, fun movie starring my absolute favorite B-actor, Bruce Campbell (who incidently, is very nice and sent me an autographed picture and a personal E-mail a long time ago). It has fantastic production values for a low budget horror sequel, it really looks great even today. Just rent it and you'll see what I mean.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and the best of the trilogy.
Review: Evil Dead 2 is by far one of the best sequels ever,but one of the funniest horror films ever made. Ash returns to the same cabin as in part one and all havoc runs wild again. Most fans of the series would probably find this one to be the most entertaining.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sequel heaven, make room
Review: Lead character from the first is back but this time the entire film has a different plot. Now, he only came up to the cabin alone with his girlfriend and as the basic events from the first take place, a group of people stumble onto HIM. And the whole thing falls apart. Pretty stupid sequel turns whatever scares it had to give into silly putty and just goes for the motoroil gore that doesn't work. The result is one of the worst sequels of all time. The only sequence with any laughs is the part when the room is laughing at him. A time waster at best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HUH? Stephen KING!
Review: Stephen King has nothing to do with this series, he only had the quote on the box/poster of the original movie.

so ppl can ignore the comment a few down from here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: YOU NEED NO OTHER MOVIE
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Buy it and you will not be dispointed. Zombies, Blood, Shotgun, Chainsaw How could this movie be bad

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MEET A REAL HERO...ASH!
Review: THIS MOVIE WILL SHOW ALL OF YOU "MAMA'S" BOYS WHAT A REAL MAN IS MADE OF! NOT ONLY DOES ASH (OUR HERO) HAVE THE WORST LUCK AT GETTING BEAT UP, HE ALSO HAS THE SUPER ABILITY TO DEFY ALL REASON DURING HIS ENDEAVORES. THIS MOVIE WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST, "THERE'S NO WAY THAT COULD HAPPEN" CLASSICS! ARMYIES OF DARKNESS IS ALSO A MUST SEE FOR ALL FANS OF THIS MASTERPIECE! "...GO ON AND RUN! RUN HOME AND CRY TO MOMMA! " -ASH

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: So stupid, it's funny
Review: The sequel to Stephen King's, The Evil Dead. I don't know why, but is there something about writers who just have to make a sequel to practically every Stephen King classic out there and transform it into a laughing stock? The plot continues where the original left off, on an isolated heath with a cabin. Bruce Campbell and his wife go to stay in this cabin, little realising that the cabin is inhabited by murderous evil spirits. But as the bodies pile up Bruce must fight for survival if he wants to defeat the evil once and for all. this film though ludricous, is watchable. Stupid this film may be, but at the same time it made my sides split open with laughter!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: evil dead II..a sequel that rocks
Review: Anyone who follows the Evil Dead Trilogy knows that the first and last installments are polar opposites in terms of tone and content, but both were still incredibly entertaining..Evil Dead II strikes the perfect balance between the pure horror of part one and the prat falls of part III...and is my favorite of the trio. Hilarious and gorge-risingly graphic, it's a near perfect mix of horror and humor,and is highly recommended.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: All Gore With Little Imagination
Review: The sole survivor of the first massacre in the cabin returns with his girlfriend, and the whole thing starts all over again. This time there is quite a bit chainsaw mutilations and wise cracks from the cast. Just about as much gore as the first, but no nearly as original. Shocking ending.
