"There’s only one movie scarier than The Evil Dead... Evil Dead 2. Kiss your nerves goodbye!"

Only idiots would think that Evil Dead 2 is a remake of The Evil Dead, and I am always dealing with idiots in my line of work. It seems crazy that in part 1, Ash was a quiet polite man, who was faced to destroy some zombies, but now he is a rude gullible fool, who gets tricked by his own hand, which gets possessed by the Evil. The Evil Dead 2 begins where the Evil Dead ended exactly, and begins with just Ash at the shack, but he is soon joined by 4 more people, who are all killed by the evil, leaving Ash by himself once again.

*About 1 hour into the movie, when Ash goes into the cellar to retrieve the book, you can see Freddy’s glove hanging to the left of the cellar door. Funny how it just appeared after it clearly not being there in the original.

The gore in Evil Dead 2 is quite good, and often funny, and this is where Evil Dead 2 is different from the original : It is a stupid comedy as well as a horror, and has several hilarious moments, which get funnier each time you watch, and again, Evil Dead 2 has no nudity. Shame...
If you have the 4 FRONT Viseo PAL VHS release, you might have noticed that the picture on the reverse of the cover is nowhere to be seen within the movie.
