Cult classic Evil Dead 2 Blu-ray movie review

This movie is equal to the original Evil Dead, here we have ASH the lone survivor from the first encounter with the evil dead, fighting off the evil deadites again. ASH encounters some unexpected foes and now everyone must fight for the lives, or become the evil that hunts them.

Sam Raimi does an excellent job of keeping us scared in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, with the dead incarnation surrounding us. When ASH is alone in the cabin, we are alone in the cabin and every creaking sound we hear feels like it's right beside us. The eery feeling is not as terrifying as the original, because the original was a punch in the face of terror. This one is more of a drench you in the face with blood, instead of a punch. The touch of dark comedy is great. ASH versus his hand is some comic gold and is a great way to give you some breathing room when you're not terrified of what might happen next.

Campbell proves himself a master of face contortion, self-harm as well as flipping himself over! So many classic and outrageous scenes in such a short space of time. One of the funniest scene is when Jake is dragged into the cellar and a torment of pink blood comes pumping out. The camera work is as dynamic and as fast paced as in the first outing, the shot of ash standing by the remains of the bridge at the start of film standing out for its grandness among otherwise less cinematic shots.

Overall, "Evil Dead II" is a really fun ride, with a superior performance from Campbell. It may not be on the same level as the original in terms of horror or just general enjoyment, but it's still a blast.
