THE EVIL DEAD II (1987) - May 26, 2009
Taking place immediately after the events of the first film, this one finds Ash (after a brief recap of the original, which changes a few things around) fighting some more demons, first on his own and then joined by a new group of people. Featuring a much more darkly comic tone than the original, it's even more over-the-top, if that's possible. It's also pretty much plotless; it's basically just a series of set-pieces, but it works. It's really well directed by Sam Raimi, completely entertaining throughout, and short enough that it never begins to over-stay its welcome. ***
