Evil Dead 2 (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition) Reviews

no where near as good as the original, evil dead 2 turns horror into a silly comicbook adventure.

the beginning gives us a condensed, and highly revised, version of the original as the opening scenes. from there it turn into elongated scenes of delirium, dementia, and demonic possession. it takes forever for anything to really happen, theres not much for comedy, and the gore is definitely not serious anymore. theres plenty to see in the film and its worth a sit through, but it more or less fills in the holes between the excellent original and the zany army of darkness. this film lives up to neither and is ultimately pretty flat.

still its far from bad and its entertaining enough on its own. when i originally saw these i saw them all in reverse order. i can barely recall it now but as i do upon seeing army of darkness i was excited to see the rest. then seeing evil dead 2, i thought the first would be even more awful and it was a long time before i tracked down a copy of that and saw it. i was glad then when i did. 2 is the week link as most sequels are.
