Evil Dead 2 by Sam Raimi

Category: English

I didn't like this movie at all first, considering the amount of scare quotient the previous one had. But this one is much more funny.

Bruce Campbell pretty much makes this role his and while this time he suffers a lot in comparison to the previous one. He also finally is pushed over the edge to do what's needed to survive. The movie has Bruce Campbell striving for his sanity till he comes across four individuals who don't understand what the Evil Dead is all about and thus starts the cabin horror story with some elements borrowed from the prequel.

Have a look at this if you enjoy horror movies and of course crazy faced people!

Recommendation level: 2.5/5 - I liked this, in some aspects it's better than the original and worse in some other ways. Got this from a friend.

Evil Dead by Sam Raimi

Category: English

After Night and Fog I watch Evil Dead.

Straight to the premise, Evil Dead features 5 youngsters who go holidaying at a very far off cabin in the woods. They eventually discover a book that brings evil spirits which in turn posses people for the good humour in it. Eventually Bruce Campbell finds himself having to take on all his friends in Exorcist form.

This film spawned a ton of movies which use the same "teenagers going to a cabin for vacation and end up finding more than what they bargained for" premise. Very original in its form and concept, full marks to Raimi for it.

Worth a watch if you're a horror film fan, but then again if you are a horror film fan you might have already seen this movie. Don't watch it otherwise, it might give you nightmares. You have to wait for parts 2 and 3 for Bruce Campbell's character to become bad ass.

Recommendation level: 2.5/5. Got it from a friend.
