Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I found myself tittering a lot when watching this film which is strange as it is supposed to be gore laden horror film. Sam Raimi along with his leading man, Bruce Campbell deliver a low budget, manic, effects filled horror film with lashings of comedy.Ash (Bruce Campbell) is taking his girlfriend Linda to a secluded where he find a tape recorder and a book. The tape was found by a professor who translates the the book of the dead which unleashes malevolent spirits that possess Linda, leaving Ash to chop her head off. Later on Ash hand starts to attack him as it turns evil due to Linda's bite. Ash has to cut it hand off.Later on the professor's daughters turns up with a few other people but faced being attacked by possessed people and the only way out is to read a passage that drives the evil away.I do not know how Raimi managed to do some of the special effects and gore in such a low budget, there is stop motion animation, a tribute to the manic slapstick comic styles of the Three Stooges and Tex Avery. Campbell's broad acting style certainly gets results here.

When I first saw "The Evil Dead" (1981) many years ago, I was disappointed. I gave up on franchise and made terrible mistake. "Evil Dead II" is what its name says but also much more than that. At the beginning movie reboots the story from "The Evil Dead" and then continues where it left off. Story is painfully stupid and characters make stupidest possible movies in a given situation. But it does not matter at all. There's no introduction or characterization, it's complete madness from the start. The movie is an unstoppable bloody over-the-top action, exaggerated out of all proportion, with a camera that savages all over. Shots that shake and move in all directions, scenes from the first person and a lot of slimy liquids of all colors splashing everywhere. And in the middle of all that Bruce Campbell, whose acting deserves at least nomination for Oscar. The man is damn genius and I can not wait to see him in "Army of Darkness" and "Ash vs Evil Dead". Without delay, tonight. One of those "it's so bad it's good" flicks that you can rate both zero and ten without the guilty conscience. I rate it8/10

More 'splatstick' than scary, the second instalment in the cult franchise cranks up the goofiness but wisely retains the horror resulting in an entertaining flick from start to finish. My only real hesitations with 'Evil Dead II (1987)' come thanks to the numerous continuity errors, which are especially noticeable when watching the flicks back-to-back, that make this more of a stand-alone than a sequel. Still, it's a really enjoyable picture and, while it isn't quite as good or scary as its predecessor despite numerous technical improvements, it retains the proper gore and occasional suspense required to make its silly humour work in its horrific context. 7/10

Ash Williams is back and his girlfriend and him go to a errie cabin in the woods but when they come across the research into the book of the dead they unleash something horrible. Bruce Cambell is Ash Williams it's more crazier than the first movie with some of the best acting in the series.the rest of the cast is Sarah Berry,Dan Hicks,Kassie Wesley DePaiva,Denise Bixler,Richard Domeier,John Peakes,Lou Hancock. The Evil Dead 2 was a comedy and so when it came to the determing for whether it would be a comedy or a horror because it has moments of of pure gore which i love and then there is comedy which is refreshing for a horror series. I would have to say that the evil dead 2 is one of my favorite comedy horror movies and Bruce Cambel is just so iconic in this one and i love him and it is his best work definitely and the movie is just one i can just enjoy over and over again.
