Evil Dead II is one of the instances where the second film is even better than the first. The insanity is turned up to 11. Bruce Campbell is once again the best character, and actually develops even more in this film (he even cuts off his own hand, later replacing it with a chainsaw). In the end, if you loved the first one, you should definitely watch this one.

This movie is as good as the first but has a different feel, a little more silly. I like how it was just a little more psychological than the first and BOY OH BOY Ash actually looks like a hero in this one. 7/10 for sure for it's greatness in a slightly bigger budget. The thing I disliked was how Evil Ash looked. He just looked more idiotic than he already is.

The plot of this movie is more of an evolution than a sequel to the original. It is a re-telling. The budget is higher, for certain. The camera work, writing, directing, and acting are all a big step up. The plot is more involved and goes somewhere.For years I thought the original was better. It was definitely scarier, and well, more original. But this sequel has a sense of humor. The first movie was only unintentionally funny. This one gets a laugh, and does it on purpose.This is always the movie where Ash becomes the wise-cracking, well-armed hero that he remains for later movies.If you can imagine yourself enjoying a gore comedy, you will probably enjoy this slap stick slasher flick.

It's been a while since I've seen this movie as a whole. Overall, I find it wincing at times - by the fact that this is a horror movie - but still enjoyed it. I found better than the original from 1981, but even that movie's alright. The only things that may have bothered me at times were the noticeable inconsistencies, but in general - this movie is quality.
