Movie Reviews of The Evil Dead 2 (Book Of The Dead Limited Edition)
Movie Review: Evil DVDs
Summary: 4 Stars
I've waited patiently for years for a possible Evil Dead trilogy box set to be released. I sat and watched version after version of each of the 3 films be released in different DVDs with different features.
What I would have liked to happen was there to be an essential collection.
Now that I'm relatively sure it's not going to happen anytime soon, I decided to buy The Evil Dead 1 and 2 Book of the Dead editions and Army of Darkness (Boomstick Edition)
I have no complaints about the packaging or features, but I would still like to see a definitive box set in my lifetime.
Movie Review: Groovy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just doing my annual Halloween film-fest and realized I never posted on this one. It is actually one of my all time favorites. Campbell is a genius and Rainie does everything right here. Cheap? Yes! Goofy? yes? Funny? Oh, yes! Gorey? Unbelievably. Camp horror entertainment at its finest!Movie Review: Simply Put, A Cult Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, let me say that this movie isn't for everyone, especially those who don't understand Sam Raimi's intentions. If you're looking for a straightforward horror movie, then you completely missing the point and probably will not like it.
If you can enjoy a movie that blends genres into a single amalgamation of entertainment, then EDII might be right up your alley.
At best, Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn is a tongue-in-cheek work, a riff on the genre as well as a showcase of director Sam Raimi's love of slapstick humor, directoral prowess, and willingness to torture lead actor Bruce Campbell.
Oh, but there's blood. Hundreds of gallons of it. Easily as much as the first movie, and it's more well-done thanks to the budget. Decapitations. Gore. Screams. Laughing lamps and deer heads. Greg Nicotero's effects, as usual, are great.
Much of the fun in watching EDII:DBD is seeing the horrors that the main character, Ash (played by B-Rate genius Bruce Campbell), endures. He's alone for nearly thirty minutes and carries the action with a wide-eyed naivete that is almost maddeningly endearing. His physical comedy is unmatched and the one-liners made him semi-famous.
A remake of the first movie, Evil Dead II should be viewed with the context in mind. It is as well-done as any 80s horror movie with twice the wit and gore simultaneously.
Movie Review: A must for a true deadite
Summary: 4 Stars
To sum it up. There are not many good old classic horror/gore flicks on blu ray. So my Evil Dead II is very warm and welcome in my collection. Sure most of it is dark and a bit grainy at times but its still sharper then any dvd I've seen of it. The close ups on ash you can really see the improvement. $20 is a very good price too I think. For a true fan there is even any decision to make here. I also purchased Dawn Of the Dead at the same time and DOTD does indeed look better, but then again most of DOTD is filmed in better lighting. Go get it you gore hounds!Movie Review: Classic on Blu-ray
Summary: 4 Stars
Evil Dead II is a classic horror film with cartoony overtones. This is the predecessor to Army of Darkness.
If you already own the DVD and are not a huge fan of the Evil Dead movies, it is hard to recommend the Blu-ray version simply for audio/video quality. The picture does seem brighter and more clear in high-def, but can be subtle during a good bit of the picture. Since much of it was filmed in the dark, it tends to look grainy at times. Daylight scenes look outstanding compared to the DVD though with the exception of the final sequence when Ash gets sent back to the medieval period. For some reason, that did not look too spectacular.
