Evil Dead 2 (1987)

Wikipedia

Evil Dead II (also known in publicity materials as Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) is a 1987 American comedy horror film directed by Sam Raimi, and both a sequel to and a parody of the 1981 horror film The Evil Dead.Written by Raimi and Scott Spiegel, Evil Dead II is produced by Robert Tapert and stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, who vacations with his girlfriend to a remote cabin in the woods. He discovers an audio tape of recitations from a book of ancient texts, and when the recording is played, it unleashes a number of demons which possess and torment him.

Honestly, this is pretty much a remake of the first movie. I know there’s a thing about the original people losing the rights to the first movie so they made a second one to replace it or whatever, but I actually prefer this version.

There’s more to it, it has more of a plot, more characters, more substance.

I can’t really see the comedy or parody parts of it, not really. It has no relation to either genre, unless you take in the fact that it’s basically the first movie, but again. It moves a little faster than the first movie, which I like. It gets to the point.

I just really like the plot better, and there are more people than just a group of college kids; there are locals, relatives, and more relatives.

My Rating: ★★★★
