How good is it? This movie means everything to me. It's the most perfect horror viewing experience you'll ever have. The whole trilogy is great, but I have to admit this one's my favorite. Part one is a pure creepy... Full review

"The Exorcist" made you feel respect and fear to the Devil. Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead II" makes fun of the Devil and demon possession. Although there are some really scary scenes, there are some really twisted funny situations that would... Full review

While the original EVIL DEAD was genuinely a horror film, this one went completely the opposite direction and decided to amp up the gore factor to make it basically a demented cartoon show. EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN is... Full review
Demented fun!

Not so much of a sequel to Sam Raimi's groundbreaking horror feast the Evil Dead, this is more of a reprise of the same film with more proper equipment, professional pacing and further developed gore. Sole survivor Ash (Bruce Campbell... Full review

Continuation of the events in the original "Evil Dead" movie. After recapping the events of the first movie (telling the story somewhat differently, even eliminating three of the characters), this movie has poor, tormented Ash (Bruce Campbell) constantly being harassed... Full review

Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn is the sequel to the ultimate experience in grueling terror. Evil Dead II is the definitive cult flick and perhaps my favorite horror film (top five at least). Bruce Campbell takes on the role... Full review

Keeping those caveats in mind, this film is astonishingly good. I have read elsewhere that there are other version of this film that look even better, but I haven't seen those, so I can't compare. Evil Dead, The: Special Edition ... Full Review

After making Evil Dead II, he was interviewed, and had this to say: "I feel that [ Evil Dead II] was a good movie. Another user on the same boards states that Sam hasn't made a good film since Evil Dead II, but this presents a pickle with me. ... Full Review

There is a difficulty in attempting a combination of both, which this film handles quite well. Whats most brilliant about "Evil Dead II" is the way in which it is essentially a comedy/satire disguised as a blood and guts horror film. ... Full Review

Slant Magazine
Ash may lose limbs as he chainsaws his way through the installment, but Evil Dead 2 holds together as the giddiest treatment of viscera this side of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive . Daybreak gives the hapless hero some much-needed time-out, but, since the film is shaped as a wide-eyed comedy of bravura kineticism, it doesn't take long for the frenetic splatter gags to kick off again. ...
