Dead Evil 2

Evil Dead II — Directed by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi — USA — 1987 — 81 min.

They took his girlfriend. They took his hand. But they gave him a chainsaw. Groovy!

Ash (Bruce Campbell in his iconic role) goes with his girlfriend for a romantic weekend to an abandoned cabin in the depths of the forest. On the spot they find a tape recorder with a recording of fragments of the Book of the Dead (“Necronomicon”). Playing the tape unleashes demonic forces hidden in the forest. A bloody slaughter begins, which scares as much as it is funny. “Dead Evil 2" is not at all a continuation of the first part, but a remake of it. It was the “two” that defined the character of the classic series, in which horror mixes with slapstick comedy. Sam Raimi's film is crazy fun with demons, hectoliters of blood, an possessed hand and a chainsaw.

Reviews about the film:

Without “Dead Evil 2,” Tim Burton would probably never have launched “Beetle Juice”, Peter Jackson would not have done his “Brain Necrosis”, and the world would be poorer with a mass of horrors and strange creatures. - “After Hours”, Robert Ziębiński

“Dead Evil 2” is a comedy disguised as a blood-dripping horror festival. At first glance, it looks like a typical horror... But you only have to look more closely to see that it is quite a sophisticated satire. - Roger Ebert

“Dead Evil 2” is anarchy in its purest form. Raimi himself took the skeleton of a classic horror movie, put it in the frame of a cartoon and poured hectoliters of blood. - Maciej Kulbat, Filmawka.pl

Sam Raimi managed to combine gruesome, bloody and sometimes also distasteful horror with wit and humor of the highest standard, referring, among others, to classic slapstick comedies - Marcin Kamiński, Filmweb

“Dead Evil 2” is a real departure, so not everyone will find the courage to experience it to the fullest. - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
