Evil Dead II

“We just cut up our girlfriend… Does that sound fine?”  They say better late than never, and that is 100% the case for me with Evil Dead 2. This film really just blends everything perfectly from the absurd amount of gore and blood, great make up and effects, the mythology behind the book of the dead and the hilarious comedy tied into it made for a really fun first watch.  I have to recognize how good Bruce Campbell’s physical comedy is here. Whether he’s smashing plates over his head, taking bumps and falls, or flipping over being possessed by his own hand he truly delivers an iconic performance all while descending into true madness as the movie goes on.  I really just love how batshit this entire film is. You get no time to relax, it’s also cool how this film is a sequel to the first while also being a new standalone story but still paying homage to the OG. So much ridiculous fun to be had, the laughing cabin felt like something out of a nightmare, the scene where Ash grabs himself from the mirror was a cool effect, to even time travel, but my personal favorite moment is when Ash attaches a chainsaw to his arm and makes a sawed off shotgun, it’s just so badass, there’s certainly no shortage of wild moments.  Evil Dead 2 is one of the best examples of blending horror and comedy and doing it to the fullest. Everyone here knows the kind of movie they’re in and play their parts wonderfully but not just the actors, director Sam Raimi’s vision is on full display and he crafted up some unique shots and delivered on everything he needed to do. Definitely shoutout the awesome person for reccomending this one and now being the reason I am witness to some of the finest Horror you will ever come to find out there.
