Just when things start getting too grisly, Raimi rushes in with a hilarious, sendup joke to remind us that all this blood and guts is meant in spooky Grand Guignol fun.

Evil Dead 2 is, pardon the expression, consistently lively -- a ghoulish splatter comedy that uses wildly excessive gore to provoke the kind of shock that lies between a laugh and a scream.
October 1, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
Evil Dead 2's rampant inventiveness and manic energy have ensured that it will endure as a cult classic.
October 1, 2013 | Full Review… -
First and foremost, [Raimi's] gonzo aesthetics are interested in high-wire kicks, of which there are plenty throughout.
March 29, 2010 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… -
The gaudily gory, virtuoso, hyper-kinetic horror sequel/remake uses every trick in the cinematic book, and confirms that Bruce Campbell and Raimi are gods.
September 21, 2007 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… -
Good acting would not have served the material well, since it would have diluted the comedy quotient and made the campy elements seem cheap and cheesy.

Audience Reviews for Evil Dead 2

Aug 12, 2016This film is a parody of the original, - Evil dead - but i didn't find it funny myself. I can understand why people like it - there's great camera work, gore and gags - but this just wasn't for me. I'll be honest, i don't get the horror-comedy genre. If i'm watching a horror, i want it to be scary, and if i'm watching a comedy, i definitely don't want to see waterfalls of blood.Peter B Super Reviewer

May 03, 2016With the amount of gore, slapstick comedy and legit scary moments, Evil Dead 2 threatens to overwhelm. However, Sam Raimi's elegant direction and nearly perfect script help it stay in focus, making for a wonderfully fun time at the movies.Matthew M Super Reviewer

Jun 18, 2014Not really a sequel but more a different remake of the first one with superior special effects and camera work, and it is definitely a lot funnier, with a more bizarre physical humor that includes a squealing possessed hand and a hysterical Bruce Campbell stealing the scene.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Apr 24, 2014The low budget clearly shows itself in what can only be appreciated as a comedy rather than a horror but boy does Raimi take advantage of what he has. Great over the top performances.John B Super Reviewer
