Lisnara77 This film really has it all. For some it will be gruesome and scary, for others it'll be a laugh riot. For most it will be one hell of a great time.The run time is short and sweet at 84 minutes, this accompanied by the frantic pace complete with gruesome special effects, humor and imaginative camera work ensures a very entertaining ride. All of this makes the film one of the most re-watchable I've encountered. I stuggle to name another that can match it in that regard. I've never had the pleasure of watching this film in the company of others, but I imagine this is the sort of film that a group of people can sit together and enjoy with a couple of cold ones. You don't have to worry about talking ruining the immersion or the atmosphere. This is very much a film that you sit back and enjoy, arguably the sort of film that is better in the company of others.Having a Halloween party/movie-marathon and don't want complaints of 'this is boring' or 'this isn't even scary' ? This would surely do the trick and appease most viewers. To sum this film up in one word. Fun.

classicsoncall Oh man, why do I even bother? Well, there's an answer to that. I watch junk like this because I've set a personal goal of watching and reviewing every movie that's ever made an IMDb Top 250 list, and this one appears on one going all the way back to 1997. I watched Bruce Campbell's turn in "Army of Darkness" not long ago and at some point in this picture it started to look like the same movie again. I don't know much about Campbell so I took a look at his bio here on IMDb and it seems like he has some talent, so I can't figure why he would devote a good part of his career to something like this 'Evil Dead' series. Seems to me he could have been a leading man with the right breaks, but that's based on his looks and not on his talent. You wouldn't know if the guy had any talent by watching this flick. Hey, I know there are fans for stuff like this, and if that's your thing, go for it. If not for earning an IMDb merit badge, I'd never come near something this stupid.

gabegiddens Evil Dead II is one of the instances where the second film is even better than the first. The insanity is turned up to 11. Bruce Campbell is once again the best character, and actually develops even more in this film (he even cuts off his own hand, later replacing it with a chainsaw). In the end, if you loved the first one, you should definitely watch this one.

grantss I'm generally not a fan of zombie movies. They're generally quite unoriginal, predictable and one-dimensional. The central plots hardly vary, the actions scenes could just be cut-and-pasted from one movie to the next.Evil Dead II isn't an exception in those regards. What's worse, its special effects and production values are incredibly bad: obvious dolls as zombies, toy bridge and car for the early bridge scene, special effects which hardly look real for a moment.Add in some pretty bad acting and you should have an horrendously bad movie. However, it almost works.The amateurish nature of the production gives the movie a lightness and unintentional humour that keep you entertained. Plus there are some intentional funny moments. The movie could just as well be labeled a comedy as a zombie movie.Unfortunately, the humour doesn't quite negate the pitiful other aspects of the movie. The last few scenes involve the usual zombie vs human and supernatural crap and the movie ends in chaotic fashion.Good for a few laughs though.
