Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn

This movie had a slightly different mood than the first one did. I think the reason for that is that we start to see the comedic side of the series. For instance in one of my favorite scenes, the furniture and lamps start laughing at Ash. I imagine that it would be pretty close to being on an acid trip. I liked the scenes where Ash becomes possesed. it totally throws the viewer off, because we know he's the hero. You also get the feeling that the evil dead are kinda fucking with him in the beginning. I lke the transformation of Ash'es charater from the first film. He seems like less of a wimp, and kick's more ass in this one. There seemed to be a lot more action in this instalment to the Evil Dead series. Maybe because of the whole possesed hand and possesed Ash parts. It's odd, but this movie semms to almost have poorer quality of film in it, however the special effects were pretty damn awsome. The camera angles still kicked ass, and the acting and directing were still cool. The ending gives me chills every time! I give this one a 4.5 out of 5.
