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…

The problem is that with no characters to care about, the decapitated heads, the eyeballs caroming out of someone's skull to land in someone else's mouth, the buzzing chainsaws and the incessant screaming don't really add up to very much. November 6, 2019 | Rating: 0/4 | Full Review…
