Evil Dead 2 is, in so many ways, better than the first Evil Dead. First of all, the decision to turn the franchise into an all-out horror comedy, thank you a million times over. It's insane sense of humor makes this one of the funnest movies you will ever watch. The ridiculousness never relents. The demonic creatures get crazier and crazier with every new one that appears. The blood and guts fly, with every color of the rainbow. The camera zooms at hyper-speed in ways I'll never wrap my mind around. If all of that isn't enough, we are formally introduced to batshit crazy Bruce Campbell. A horror legend... scratch that.. a comedy legend is born. Ash is the coolest horror protagonist ever created. A macho cartoon character with a chainsaw for a hand. What else can I say but, groovy!
