Less a continuation than an outright reimagining, Sam Raimi transforms his horror tale into a comedy of terrors -- and arguably even improves on the original formula. Read critic reviews

This 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.

With 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.

Not 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.

The 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.
