Prolog:
Evil Dead 2 is not just only my absolute favorite movie but also the best sequel ever made, and yes it is a sequel. I always find it amusing how some people just don't understand that the first 7 minutes and 23 seconds are just a recap of the first film.
For legal reasons, they had to reshoot the recap and even with fewer actors because of the budget
Evil Dead 2 continues seamlessly at minute 7 and second 23 where The Evil Dead left off and even in the credits it says it's a sequel: "Evil Dead II", the sequel to the ultimate experience in grueling terror, was filmed in Wadesboro, North Carolina and Detroit, U. S. A." So the actual film begins where the first ends, namely when Ash is hit by the evil and through the forest flies.
In an interview, Bruce Campbell confirmed that the beginning is just a recap.
But now to the movie!
"Swallow this"
Why is Evil Dead II my favorite movie, and why do I think it's the best Movie and the best horror comedy movie ever?
I am now trying this and more to explain.
There's as much madness in this film as there is also creativity, so that one the film just gotta love. Here just one handful of things in the film happen: Fountains of blood coloring the cabin and people, fights against own hand, a headless dancing corpse, a deer head and various Objects Laugh, an eye from a demon will by a targeted kick from the Eye socket straight into the mouth of one person hurled and that wasn't all.
In short, a continuous firework of ideas, the viewer from second speak second, it really is unbelievable what all is in the film. The effects still have after 35 years nothing of the genius lost and still looks amazing, the ingenious stop-motion effects are just great. Also was score and lighting is concerned with this film nothing to fault and the brilliant Tracking shots are impressive.
Then there would be the awesome acting by Bruce Campbell, Sayings for eternity, but also all other actors were great. The film is just 84 minutes long, but feels much shorter simply because the film has such an awesome pacing, and no scene or dialogue is too long. At the end awaits you, Probably the best cliffhanger in film history.
Epilogue: I love the first part and for me it's also a masterpiece, but Evil Dead II creates with the perfect blend of Horror and comedy a film that has both is funny and scary and is simply the most entertaining film, that exists.
Oh yes, almost forgot: "Groovy".
