Movie Reviews of Evil Dead II (Limited Edition Tin)
Movie Review: Ash Returns In the One of Grooviest Horror Sequels Ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Exceptional film virtuoso Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Darkman, and a Simple Plan) dared to rethink his concept on (the Ultimate Exercise in Cinematic Terror) Evil Dead, which had already become a huge cult classic favorite worldwide, by continuing the story of girlish wimp Ashley Williams (Bruce Campbell) after his initial bloody escapade at the infamous log cabin but with a surprising atmospheric twist in presentation.Beginning with a brief recap minus Ash's sister and the other couple from ED 1, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn commences with Ash again becoming prey to all types of Deadite pranks, practical jokes, attempts of bodily possession, unholy possession of his girlfriend Linda, and becoming the butt of all the undead's jokes. Ash is again left to fend for himself against the evil undead denizens sprung from the unholy Necronomicon (Book of Dead) by accident. Unfortunately for Ash, his journey into hell is just starting, and this was just a description of the film's first five minutes. Due to ED 2's unparalleled storytelling zeal and zany sensibilities, it would a criminal offense to give any more away on this goofy classic's plot. Suffice to say it is an indescribable descent into an inconceivable realm where comedy and horror merge into one blissful concoction of hilarity that single-handedly redefined the borders of horror film from then on.
Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn should be seen all those who enjoy insanely creative movies that push the boundaries of cinema. Even those who think this film may be too violent or disturbing should at least take a brief gander at this. Unlike its predecessor, Evil Dead 2 mixes the sensibilities of a Three Stooges picture with the formula of Evil Dead to conceive an illogical yet supremely entertaining spoof on the horror film. This film is so chock full of treasured camp moments that anyone who has the slightest inkling about seeing it should.
Followed by an equally notable camp classic, Army of Darkness. As for Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn Limited Edition DVD by Anchor Bay, it contains a digitally and THX sound remastered print with an outstanding anamorhphic wide screen presentation that all Dead Heads are entitled to see, a fascinating commentary track with Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and others, the Gore The Merrier featured containing behind the scenes footage, storyboard drawings, and much much more. A Must Buy For Any Deadite Fan or Fan of the Fantastically Macabre.
Summary of Evil Dead II (Limited Edition Tin)
Writer-director Sam Raimi's extremely stylized, blood-soaked follow-up to his creepy Evil Dead isn't really a sequel; rather, it's a remake on a better budget. It also isn't really a horror film (though there are plenty of decapitations, zombies, supernatural demons, and gore) as much as it is a hilarious, sophisticated slapstick send-up of the terror genre. Raimi takes every horror convention that exists and exaggerates it with mind-blowing special effects, crossed with mocking Three Stooges humor. The plot alone is a genre cliché right out of any number of horror films. Several teens (including our hero, Ash, played by Bruce Campbell in a manic tour-de-force of physical comedy) visit a broken-down cottage in the woods--miles from civilization--find a copy of the Book of the Dead, and unleash supernatural powers that gut every character in sight. All, that is, except Ash, who takes this very personally and spends much of the of the film getting his head smashed while battling the unseen forces. Raimi uses this bare-bones story as a stage to showcase dazzling special effects and eye-popping visuals, including some of the most spectacular point-of-view Steadicam work ever (done by Peter Deming). Although it went unnoticed in the theaters, the film has since become an influential cult-video favorite, paving the way for over-the-top comic gross-out films like Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. --Dave McCoy
