  Evil Dead 2 reviewed by AllZone4DVD.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Fans of the original ‘Evil Dead’ were left scratching their collective heads in confusion after viewing the opening prologue for ‘Evil Dead II’.
After this 10-minute prologue, ‘Evil Dead II’ maintains continuity with the original and essentially kicks in at the moment where Ash is about to be violated by the enraged demon.
Evil Dead 2 is one of those 'so bad it's good' horror films that any serious horror fan must have in their collection.

 EDI
Evil Dead 2 also introduces a dark and twisted humor that was not so evident in the first film.
"Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn" is a comedy disguised as a blood-soaked shock-a-rama.
It is because (a) the violence and gore are carried to such an extreme that they stop being disgusting and become surrealistic; (b) the movie's timing aims for comedy, not shocks, and (c) the grubby, low-budget intensity of the film gives it a lovable quality that high-tech movies wouldn't have.

 '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.

 IGN: Evil Dead 2 Review
Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: Evil Dead 2 is not, repeat is NOT, a remake of the original, no matter how many times it has been billed as such.
For those that don't know, the original Evil Dead was the first outing of Sam Raimi as a director, and of Bruce Campbell as an actor.

Evil Dead II looks good, though some scenes do possess a small amount of graininess and lower contrast (probably a reflection of the film's small budget).

 Evil Dead 2
So anyway, 'Evil Dead II' starts off with Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his girlfriend taking a trip to a secluded cabin in the woods.
In a way it's a shame that a talented actor like Bruce Campbell is mainly remembered for his roles in the Evil Dead films, but as in the original, he put in a truly great performance.
While 'Evil Dead II' may not be the scariest film ever made it certainly is one of the most enjoyable horror films ever made in my opinion and is a credit to the genre.

 Underwhelmed by Evil Dead 2 - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
EVIL DEAD 2 was one of the first horror films I can remember seeing in which I felt a twinge of annoyance (for lack of a better word) because of the lack of respect given to the genre: mockery I felt...
In The Evil Dead Companion Raimi clearly states that the only reason they made Evil Dead as their first movie, was to try to cash in on the drive-in circuit and get some cash to make the movies he really wanted to make.
Evil Dead 2 is my favourite film in the trilogy, if you want to slam a film for being slap stick and not respecting the genre then take a look at Army Of Darkness....I dont really think you can even call it a horror film to be honest.

Evil Dead 2 essentially remakes the second half of Raimi's first film after providing an abreviated synopsis (which, interestingly, omits two characters).
In other words, the film is still, to use Joe Bob Briggs's description, "Spam in a cabin," in which Ash is marooned in a cabin in the woods and left to fend off demonic zombies that have been summoned by the Necronomicon Morbundis.
Evil Dead 2 is the living end of the eighties trend toward horror comedy, a film so drunk on its own bloodlust that crosses the border into broad farce early on, never to return.

 Amazon.com: Evil Dead II (Special Edition) (1987): DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
EVIL DEAD 2: Dead By Dawn is ultimately more a campy, funny, and scarier re-make of the first film (although it is a sequel, it's more a reinvisioning of the first film with better elements).
DEAD BY DAWN is the ultimate follow-up to a cult favorite, and the third and final installment of the series would very much end the series on a campy note.
The Evil Dead was a low-budget classic of frightening, gory horror, and while there are certainly some very funny moments of extremely fl humor (it somehow manages to make a man decapitating his girlfriend with a shovel seem hilarious), it was a rather intense and horrifying ride.

 Review: Evil Dead/Evil Dead II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Evil Dead II can be seen as a sequel to Evil Dead, a remake, or a little of both.
This is the Necronomicon, or the "Book of the Dead", which "speaks of a spiritual presence - a thing of evil - that roams the forests and dark bowers of man's domain." It also includes incantations to raise demons - spells that are invoked when a tape recording of a man reading them is played.
Although The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II share numerous plot similarities, the tones of the features are significantly different.

In this sequel-remake of the original EVIL DEAD, a group of people are trapped in a cabin while ancient evil lurks outside and threatens a fate worse than death.
The plot basically runs the same as the original Evil Dead film (people in a cabin inhabited by a demon possessing anything that moves), except now Sam Raimi has a higher budget and a mischevious sense of humour.
Having seen his girlfriend snatched and return twice from the dead, then in turn watches all the rest of the cast suffer various deaths and possessions, we see him hallucinate on more than one occasion and just generally lose it with often amusing consequences.

A sequel to the first Evil Dead, but it is essentially a remake (so you don't need to see the first to enjoy the second).
The first Evil Dead focused more on suspense, while Evil Dead 2 begins to have a sense of humor, though the scares are still there (and the third movie, Army of Darkness, strays almost completely away from the horror genre in favor of humor).
Driven by outrageous special effects and the brilliant over the top performance of Bruce Campbell as Ash, this film rockets along, never giving you the chance to actually think about how ridiculous the whole situation is (even though this film does not suffer from the usual haunted house syndrome: "Hmmm...

While The Evil Dead pitted hapless Ash (Bruce Campbell) against four of his zombified pals, this one has our hero come to the deserted cabin with just his girlfriend for a weekend of lurve.
While the gore might not be as concentrated as the eye-poking, pencil-grinding violence of The Evil Dead, the sheer quantity of spraying (often bizarrely coloured) blood is hugely impressive, as is the way it magically disappears from drenched clothing.
Raimi made a huge impact with his debut film The Evil Dead at the tender age of 22, a gory, often breathtaking horror romp made on a tiny budget with a variety of friends from his hometown of Detroit.
