DIABOLICAL entertainment for the wicked!, 30 August 2005

"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 leave you wondering "what the f*** just
happened?!". The movie is funny for the wrong reasons. I eventually
don't laugh about when a man is breaking himself dishes on the head. I
don't think it's funny when a man is repeatedly beaten up by grotesque
characters. I would never imagine a man getting eaten by a demon locked
under a cellar and throwing gallons of blood! "Evil Dead II" makes it
look hilarious in a wicked kind of way. For example, when Linda's head
tells Ash that "she is being tormented, and suffering in hell; you can
feel a little scared but the next scene has a corpse without a head
holding a chainsaw. There's no time for logic here, just sit and enjoy!
It also has the ability to make you feel tense and I must say, scared.
The combination of demon possessed people, EVIL sounds (I love the
weird noise in the movie), wicked laughs and chanting ("dead by
dawn!"), and intrepid camera angles are the perfect ingredients to make
a sui generis Horror-Comedy movie. Watch out for the "A Farewell to
Arms" joke, the whole situation with the evil hand, and the eye that
gets in a woman's mouth!.
Sam Raimi went too far for the good reasons. He created an unbelievable
and unforgettable work that has served as inspiration for many movies
in recent years. The movie is easily one of the most visually stunning
Horror movies of all time, for sure. Die hard fans of gore get an eye
candy for an hour and a half. Raimi created a cult movie in all the
sense of the world. "Groovy!". "Dead by Dawn" will never bore you
because in every scene there's a feeling of uncertainty and that makes
it even more interesting. There are no rules here.
The plot is as scary as you can imagine but it's held in such a way
that it isn't taken very seriously. I mean, demon possession caused by
the Necronomicon is something that happens in the real world. Not
exactly with that book but it can happen via satanic books and rituals.
Raimi takes it to a different level of humor mixed with gore.
Bruce Campbell deserves a special mention. He delivers a wicked, solid,
and totally believable performance. Something you haven't seen before
mainly because of the strange situations he goes through. His
performance could be described as a "solo". Easily, one of the best
performances of any actor in a Horror movie. Also, one of the
characters that suffers the most in any movie! Ash is beaten up by
demons, humans, objects, etc. Even possessed creatures make fun of him.
The gore here is great, glorious. You get decaps, mutilated bodies, a
hand cut off, bleeding demons, etc. Blood spread all over the cabin is
the common denominator. One of the goriest movies of all time.
Watch "Evil Dead II" to witness one of the most creative, brave, and
goriest movies of all time. It delivers something for everyone. It has
action, gore, spectacular camera angles, and some action! Check out Ash
V.S. possessed Henrietta. * After it, phrases like "join us!", "swallow
this!", and specially "groovy!" will be part of your daily vocabulary.
Recommended for every Horror fan in the world. This movie is an
obligation to watch.
