"...EVIL DEAD 2 is one of the goofiest, goriest movies this side of the grave....Genuine, if bizarre, proof of Sam Raimi's talent and developing skill..."
-
Not so much a sequel, more a self-parodic reprise, like some black comic nightmare in the damaged brain of sole... read more on Time Out

Someone with a fresh soooul!
Evil Dead II is a terrific piece of film. It has the spine-chilling haunting horror characteristics, the jump out of your skin scenes, copious amount of gore, and oodles of comedy.
Sam Raimey thoroughly encapsulates the sensation of isolation in and in the vicinity of the cabin. One of the magnificent factors concerning the film is that the 'monster' isn't the zombies so far as it is the ethereal malevolent spirit.
There are occasions where the effects are tacky but it essentially supplements the films appeal. The characters are good as well: The archaeologists daughter and her boyfriend, the backwards hillbilly and his delightful girlfriend. Then there is Ash. It’s worth seeing for his one-liners alone.
I consider this to be an finer flick than the first Evil Dead.

"I'll swallow your soul!" ... "Swallow this!"
Continuation of the events in the original "Evil Dead" movie. After recapping the events of the first movie (telling the story somewhat differently, even eliminating three of the characters), this movie has poor, tormented Ash (Bruce Campbell) constantly being harassed and tortured by sadistic demons - including, in the movie's most memorable sequence, his own possessed hand.
Absolutely hilarious; this effective mix of hardcore horror and slapstick comedy provides a lot of laughs, impressive effects, and the very game Campbell putting up with a lot as the film-makers set out to abuse his character as much as possible. "Evil Dead 2" manages to be even more entertaining than the first movie, a goofy and fun horror/comedy with a chaotic finale that I would recommend to any fan of this genre.
What is also funny is that the character of Ash is already showing signs of the super-obnoxious moron he would become in "Army of Darkness". -
