Writer-director Sam Raimi's extremely stylized, blood-soaked follow-up to his creepy Evil Dead isn't really a sequel; rather, it's a remake on a better budget. It also isn't really a horror film (though there are plenty of decapitations, zombies, supernatural demons, and gore) as much as it is a hilarious, sophisticated slapstick send-up of the terror genre. Raimi takes every horror convention that exists and exaggerates it with mind-blowing special effects, crossed with mocking Three Stooges humor. The plot alone is a genre cliché right out of any number of horror films. Several teens (including our hero, Ash, played by Bruce Campbell in a manic tour-de-force of physical comedy) visit a broken-down cottage in the woods--miles from civilization--find a copy of the Book of the Dead, and unleash supernatural powers that gut every character in sight. All, that is, except Ash, who takes this very personally and spends much of the of the film getting his head smashed while battling the unseen forces. Raimi uses this bare-bones story as a stage to showcase dazzling special effects and eye-popping visuals, including some of the most spectacular point-of-view Steadicam work ever (done by Peter Deming). Although it went unnoticed in the theaters, the film has since become an influential cult-video favorite, paving the way for over-the-top comic gross-out films like Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. --Dave McCoy

- Incredible movie - terrible looking transfer
title says it all, the movie is a classic, but the source material (film, very old, very cheap, film) shows all of its flaws.Grainy, dark (or badly contrasted), and frustrating to watch.I'd rather watch my VHS copy than this one again.I love the movie, but this one BADLY NEEDED CLEANING before it was put on blu-ray

- HAIL TO THE KING,BABY!
One of the most hilarious horror films I have ever seen! Full of fun & even has some scary moments here & there. All around, I'd have to say this movie was pretty good & it holds up well to the blu-ray format,although its a little grainy in spots. If your looking for a not-to-serious horror then this is it.

- A rockin' sequel that kicks high on Blu-Ray!
Five years since Ash (Bruce Campbell) battled the demonic forces of evil in the woods of Tenessee, he has forgotten about that horrible night. Now he sets off on a vacation with a girl named Linda to a secluded cabin in the woods, over there he discovers an old book of the dead similar to the one he encountered before. He even discovers an old dagger and a tape reel that translates the bizarre language of the book as he foolishly unleashes the dead by accident. Evil spirits began to ... Read More
