Evil Dead II
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/02/11
Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) and his girlfriend Linda (Denise Bixler) goes inside an abandoned cabin. An evil force is released after a recording has been played by Ash. Annie (Sarah Berry), and her research partner, Ed Getley, return to search more pages of the Necronomicon (Book of the Dead). The dead rise and the trees and cabin get possessed, including ash twice. Some of the effects seem dated, still entertaining and believable. The make-up and acting were splendid, makes you feel for the the figures in danger. Its camera was unbelievable, from the first time the evil spirit tried to roam around the cabin chasing ash, to the sink/floor shots up to the timely and suspenseful close-ups of the door knobs and characters. This reviewer had an enjoyable time with the laughable scenes and a bit of scary sequences as well. Evil Dead II is a wonderful thrill ride with an unexpected ending.
