Classic Friday : Evil Dead II (1987) 9/10

Starring : Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Dan Hicks, Kassie Wesley, Ted Raimi
Director : Sam Raimi
Running Time : 85 mins

S-Mart employee Ashley Williams (Campbell) takes his girlfriend to a secluded cabin in the woods for a romantic getaway, but when he plays back a tape left there by a professor studying ancient literature, he accidentally releases an evil presence in the woods that possesses his girlfriend and tries to kill Ashley himself.

In this, a sort of sequel / remake of the ultimate video nasty, the entire concept has been vastly improved. The humor feels more intentional and the stereotypical characters are more over the top and feel more welcoming. The special effects are marginally better, and the scares may not be as controversial but are definitely just as cringeworthy.
