	'The Dead' (PG)
		The movie begins with a shot of the Morkans' town house in Dublin as the guests bustle out of the snow and into the foyer.
		This is a movie of exquisite, overwhelmingly passionate moments, but Anjelica Huston pours such emotion into this story that her lines seem like a scraping away of the soul; it's almost unendurably painful.
		What we see in Huston's direction of "The Dead" is an artist working out of the core of his talent, cleanly and without uncertainty, and bringing to bear the accumulated experience of a long career.

	The Dead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dead is the name adopted by American rock band the Grateful Dead after the death of Jerry Garcia.
		"The Dead" was a short story by James Joyce, from his book Dubliners.
		The Dead was also 1987 film adapted from Joyce's story - see The Dead (1987 movie).

	Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn - Book of The Dead Limited Edition (1987)
		As such, I spent much of Dead II confused about events; I knew Ash was involved in the first movie and I couldn't figure out why he'd return to the same place where all of those horrible events occurred.
		Perhaps because Dead II seems to assume that you've already seen the first movie - weak recap aside - I found the characters to be weak and ill-defined.
		Evil Dead II will never be a particularly attractive film, but this new transfer moderately topped the prior one.

	The Evil Dead: Book of the Dead Edition (1982)
		I can recall the fuss about Dead’s carnage and still think it was a tremendous overreaction; there were a lot of really sick horror flicks during that era, but Dead bears more in common with “Itchy and Scratchy” than it does those other films.
		Much of this revolves around the movie’s crude effects and all of the nastiness to which the actors were subjected, but he keeps up an entertaining attitude.
		Dead fans may feel disappointed since Fanalysis offers no real discussion of that film; its relationship to the flick is tangential.

		It is a rare treasure, this movie and I cannot write enough praise for it.
		Lady Gregory's poem recited in the movie is one of the most moving ever written.
		If you want your movies action and plot packed avoid this, there really is no beginning, middle or end just a lens onto the characters at a dinner party in Dublin 80 years ago and all the little nuances and shadings of the personalities portrayed so beautifully.

	Joyce - Bergen review of "James Joyce's The Dead"
		Just as the musical, which opened Thursday night at Playwrights Horizons, is about the impact of the dead on the living, you watch the show aware of its ghosts.
		The stage production of "The Dead" -- the most anticipated show of the off-Broadway season -- isn't in the same league as either of its predecessors, lacking the power and poetry of the story and the enveloping atmosphere of the film.
		The pre-opening excitement stirred by "The Dead" -- which has a book by Richard Nelson, music by Irish composer Shaun Davey, and lyrics by both -- is probably more a result of its glittery cast than its past.

	Dawn of the Dead Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The result was a movie that, from that point on, turned the horror genre on its ear.
		There are also all the TV spots and theatrical trailers, audio of radio spots promoting the movie, a biography of director Romero, a gallery of posters and print ads (interesting), and a comic book preview.
		It's a movie that has spawned countless imitations over the last 25 years (including some pretty blatant Italian knockoffs) and, like its '68 predecessor, has helped reinvent the zombie genre.

	Movie Reviews Forum - Retrospective: Evil Dead II (1987) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		'Evil Dead II' was less a sequel and more a remake - made with a larger budget and what Campbell himself referred to as 'splatstick' humor, it referenced the Three Stooges whilst still maintaining the gore level of the original.
		Looking at 'Army of Darkness' it's hard to imagine it even relates to the original at all - 'Evil Dead' is a serious (to some extent) horror film whereas 'Army of Darkness' involves time-traveling and the concept of having a chainsaw for a hand.
		That's not to discredit the sequels ('Evil Dead II' is almost as good as this) but if I could only pick one, I'd go for the first - and best - of the bunch.

	Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
		Semi-senile Aunt Julia's singing becomes unsteady in the movie, while D'Arcy's is not affected by his cold, as in the story.
		The subtle job done in "The Dead" is, in an unassuming fashion, a tour-de-force in the way it allies respect for Joyce and cinematic imagination.
		The exteriors of "The Dead" were shot in Ireland, and the inteiors were filmed in a warehouse in Valencia, California.

	Amazon.com: Evil Dead II (Special Edition) (1987): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		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.

		That's the statement at the heart of The Dead Zone; it is what John Smith, King's reluctant hero (another powerful myth-figure) miust face at last, in what is one of King's most powerful novels.
		The Dead Zone is one of King's most accessible novels, however, and it exemplifies so many of this great author's strengths.
		John Smith is a fabulous character, and The Dead Zone is a truly masterful modern novel.

	Evil Dead II - Movie Tome
		A misunderstood sequel to the first Evil Dead, many fans believe it is a remake-- this is understandable since what little back story there is mentions nothing about the original group of 'campers' from the first movie.
		This was made neccesary due to legal issues, so that said, and also ignoring the fact that technically Ash died at the end of the first movie, on to the synopsis.
		An excellent movie for those in search of a light hearted gore fest not heavy on plot or continuity, rife with Campbell's infamous one liners and 'splatstick' comedy.

	BBC - Films - review - Evil Dead II
		Ash (Campbell), the apparent sole survivor of "The Evil Dead" - and presumably with no recollection of the first film - heads back to the dingy cabin in the woods for a romantic break with his girlfriend (Bixler).
		In the ensuing chaos, "Evil Dead II" soon forgets the confines of horror, and whirls off into a strange, almost hallucinogenic cartoon nightmare of flying eyeballs, bleeding walls, and possessed limbs.
		A hugely influential film, "Evil Dead II" had producers and directors across the film-making world glued to their seats.

		The Hoxsey movie, released in 1987, lead to a book version in 2000, (which begins with an empassioned forward by Bernie Siegal, M.D.).
		The movie version, downloadable above, is a vivid, heart-wrenching portrait of the life of Harry Hoxsey, whose effective cancer remedies lead to the creation of 17 cancer clinics across the U.S.A. by the 1950's.
		This movie discusses the escharotic tradition, the early use of bloodroot, and other historical facts which underlie much of our work at Alpha Omega.

	Movie Reviews Forum - Retrospective: Day of the Dead (1985)
		And so most of 'Day of the Dead' focuses on the strategies between the doctors and the macho military types until we get our money's worth with a typically gory last half-hour where all the zombies chomp their way through most of the cast.
		Yet the movie has the claustrophobic atmosphere of the original film, essentially an enclosed setting where there is no escape.
		In the original 'Dead' film, it was an abandoned house in the middle of the countryside.

		Plot: 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.
		Whereas The Evil Dead was more of an ensemble effort, Evil Dead 2 does not portend to focus on any other character than the charismatic Ash.
		Anyway, this movie continues where the first one left off, where we see Ash alone at the cabin with the Evil presence.

	REVIEW: JAMES JOYCE’S "THE DEAD" by Don Shewey
		Most of it takes place at a holiday party thrown each year by the Misses Morkan, two elderly music teachers and their spinsterish niece, at which the guests dance and sing and eat and drink to excess.
		And the plot, such as it is, turns on a scrap of song that triggers a memory of passionate love and forever changes the lives of Gabriel Conroy, the story’s main character, and his wife Gretta.
		Weirdly distracted and disconnected in the early scenes, he seems downright menacing and on the verge of violence in the final tableau.

		And the lack of passion in this story is highlighted by the contrast with the wife's memory of a most passionate episode in her past.
		But Huston the writer and Huston the director present the occasion so delightfully and engage us so thoroughly in the various characters that, as in the story, we accept the pleasant experience as it is. Then when the deeper malaise is revealed, it hits us all the harder.
		The Dead was nominated for two Academy Awards, including one for writing, which it should have won.

		Based on the Louis L'Amour novel, this 1987 HBO movie is a much better, if less well known film, than Sharon Stone's ridiculous pseudo-western made eight years later.
		Based on a story by Louis L'Amour, "The Quick and the Dead" is a fast-paced western about Duncan and Susanna McKaskel and son who are traveling across the continent to settle near the Big Horn Mountains in 1876.
		The story unfolds quickly and there is a level of tension thoughout the movie that keeps you in your seat.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Evil Dead II (1987), Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, dvd review
		Evil Dead II is not so much a sequel as a remake of the original The Evil Dead (1983).
		Since Raimi had already planned to do Army of Darkness (then known as "Medieval Dead") as the REAL sequel, and he knew that it would cost more money than he had, he simply remade his first movie.
		He brings his girlfriend to a remote cabin in the woods that was used for research on the Book of the Dead and inadvertently sets an evil demon loose and spends the weekend trying to fight it off.

	Movie Review - Shaun of the Dead - eFilmCritic
		Because it’s such a conventional type of film to make, any type of innovation is personally accepted with great enthusiasm, like last year’s “28 Days Later” and now with “Shaun of the Dead.” This movie is all at once a hilarious spoof of, an affectionate dedication to and excellent new milestone in the zombie genre.
		Many tried-and-true zombie formulas are found in “Shaun of the Dead”, however when they pop-up in the movie’s story they seem very authentic, not like typical rehashing.
		There are requisite scenes of characters being bitten and trying to hide the inevitable from the other survivors, the creators- Edgar Wright directed and co-wrote the script with Pegg- follow the rules of the genre not because of a lack of creativity, they are simply having fun with the conventions.

		Plot: After fighting the dead and losing his girlfriend up at a remote mountain cabin, Ash is possessed by demonic forces.
		The first Evil Dead (1982) was an enormously fun piece of no-budget popcorn splatter, made with an extraordinary energy and enthusiasm upon director Sam Raimi’s part.
		The Evil Dead II By now though it was no longer a $50,000 home movie, the sequel came with a $7 million budget and the backing of Italian movie mogul Dino de Laurentiis, the producer of the infamous King Kong remake (1976).

		You are very much correct about there being a reference to a Wes Craven movie in the first movie.
		The movie is called "The Hill's Have Eyes".

		Sam Raimi's "The Quick and the Dead" is basically a stereotypical western with stereotypical characters in a stereotypical plot but filmed by master Sam Raimi who uses these stereotypes to create a film so pure in the genre that it surprises.
		Even though the plot is very simple, what made this movie most interesting (besides having a female gunfighter) is the collage of different interesting characters who participate in the competition.
		I agree that this movie deserved much better than what the critics gave it.
