| | 'Evil Dead 2 Dead by Dawn' |
 | | am Raimi's "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn" is a scream of consciousness, a goremonger's nightmare, and so what if it's an almost exact replica of its predecessor, one of the most successful (and, believe it or not, critically acclaimed) films in the horror-gore genre. |
 | | With their virtually nonstop geysers of blood, dismemberments and ghastly ugliness (the Evil Dead are not high on personal hygiene), these films are not for the faint-hearted or lily-livered -- and definitely not for children. |
 | | "Evil Dead" is the postmidnight meld of Roadrunner cartoons and Three Stooges films, but mostly it's a showcase for scary special effects and gruesome makeup: gagging for gags' sake, as it were. |
