MOVIE #19
Evil Dead II (1987)
The first Evil Dead movie is a favorite of mine and one I've seen several times, but I've only seen this bigger-budget sequel maybe once. As a full dive into unhinged slapstick horror, it does what it sets out to do very well. The effects are the main draw for me; as is to be expected, the gore is cranked all the way up and the designs for the Deadites get way more demented and wild than in the first one. However, despite the higher quality of craftsmanship on display, I'm just one of those people who prefers the low-budget thrills of the original. This one is still a fun and crazy time, though.
Looking forward to getting to Army of Darkness at some point this month, which I've never seen before.
