This is a review of a sequel. If you have not seen the first one, Evil Dead, go watch it now because this gives away the ending to that.

Go ahead. We'll wait.

You back? Well, you'll be...

Pros: Entertaining movie.  Bruce Campbell.

After hearing things about the Evil Dead movies for several years, I finally picked up Evil Dead and ended up really enjoying it.  I took advantage of an extra discount at a local store ...

Pros: wonderful performance from Bruce Campbell, great direction from Sam Raimi
Cons: it's basically just a rehashing of the first film, it's more of a comedy than a horror film

Well, anyone who knows me could see this one coming all week. A writeoff about sequels that are better than the originals, in the same week that I review Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, and yet didn't review Evil Dead 2. It doesn't ...

Pros: Much funnier than the original
Cons: Just a remake of the original

Evil Dead 2 - Dead by Dawn, is basically a remake of the original Evil Dead film. The first was made by director Sam Raimi and friends while in college. It became so popular that a studio wanted it redone, but people felt that the original was strong...

Pros: Funny, Campbell's performance, most effects, atmosphere
Cons: very few

Contrary to how many people would portray it, T he Evil Dead was really quite a shoddy movie. While it never let up in terms of entertainment, and was a bit of a triumph for low budget film-makers, as well as an ...

Pros: Bruce Campbell's charisma.
Cons: Same as the first movie.

When I first picked up Evil Dead 2, I had initially thought of it to be a true sequel to the budget-strapped original but to my surprise, it was actually a more expensive remake of the first movie with some slapstick elements thrown in. Thankfully...

Pros: You'll see...
Cons: ...When you look at my review

Introduction *Sigh* I’m still digging through my box of old VHS tapes and a recent one I found was Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn. I watched it again and thought that I might as well review it. All right, the Evil Dead series wa ...

Pros: Utter mayhem; the pinnacle of splatter fuelled comedy
Cons: Erm...definitely NOT for everyone

More a remake than a sequel and more a remix than a remake, Evil Dead II is already breaking all the rules before the opening credits have even rolled.

Imagine, if you will, buying a new household appliance; it serves its purpose (and you...

Pros: Bruce Campbell, excellent directing, great special effects and action scenes.
Cons: Continuity with the first is confusing, not as scary as the first, some underdeveloped characters.

The Evil Dead Trilogy is easily one of the most popular Horror movie series' ever. Starting with the low-budget original in 1982, Horror fans everywhere came to know and love this series. There were two sequels, Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn (1987) & Army ...

Pros: Awesome comedy with special effects that were so far advanced for the era.
Cons: Honestly, I can't think of one bad thing.

Without a doubt one of the movies I would want to have with me if stranded on a desert island. Evil Dead II is a staple for anyone even remotely interested in B movies. From the very beginning you feel pulled into the movie with the graphics and...

Pros: Hilarious Hand, Bruce Campbell, great directing by Raimi, pure comedy
Cons: A bit too short

Oh, where to start? Well, first you may want to look at my review of the original Evil Dead which can be found by copying and pasting this here link...

Pros: an all-time cult classic
Cons: no cons

A friend once told me that he put on a tape of "Evil Dead II" during a wild party, just to show someone a particular scene. Before long the party came to a standstill and everyone was gathered around the TV watching the film. I didn't discount...

Pros: Bruce Campbell pulls the acting off brilliantly, funny movie in general, scares the heck out of you the first and second times you see it
Cons: not one for the kids

This is the one that came after Evil Dead and before Army of Darkness. What happened, essentially, was that when Sam Raimi made the first one as a serious horror film and everyone laughed at it, he made a sequel which was a comedy. The result was a...
