not so much of a sequel to sam raimi groundbreaking horror feast the evil dead and this be more of a reprise of the same film with more proper equipment and professional pacing and far develop gore . sole survivor ash ( bruce campbell in the role of his life ) return to the cabin in the haunt wood and face the same demonic force he deal with in the first film . the first half be kind of like a one man horror comedy show that provide campbell with his constantly grow cult icon status . ash chop up his possessed girlfriend and lose essential body part and nearly go completely insane up in that shed . the second half introduces new character or in other word fresh new victim to dissect . sam raimi update his initial evil dead idea with rush camera movement and inspire gore and comic book style action . the pacing be fast and the blood be omnipresent . accord to most horror fan and this be the fine installment in raimi trilogy ( complete in 1993 with army of darkness ) but i still prefer the charm cheapness of the original . nevertheless and this be one outstanding horror adventure . campbell act skill have remarkably improve and sam raimi directing also be a lot more solid . great fun and warmly recommend to every horror fan and admirer of twisted black humor .
