Why watch this?
Outrageous. Terrifying. Bloody. Hilarious.
Plot Summary:
Lone survivor Ash Williams returns to a remote cabin in the
woods, where he unwittingly unleashes flesh-possessing demons
after playing a recorded incantation from an ancient book. As
the demonic forces terrorize him and a new group of arrivals,
Ash is forced into a frantic, chaotic battle for survival that
pushes him to the brink of insanity. Armed with a chainsaw and a
shotgun, he must fight through the night to survive the demonic
onslaught and escape the cabin's terrifying grasp.

Dad's Preview:
This sequel to Evil
Dead (1981) serves up a more sophisticated plate
over-brimming with the spoils of a better budget and the
genius of director Sam Raimi. Yet, it somehow manages to
retain the wonderful campiness of a low-budget horror
film. Amid buckets of bloody F/X, thrives the spastic
Bruce Campbell, who carries the film. He lobs snarky
one-liners as well as he does a red splattered axe. You
will shriek, cover your eyes, then laugh out loud
throughout. As Ash succinctly puts it... "Groovy." This
also paved the way for the excellent third film,
Army of
Darkness (1992). |
