31 Days of Halloween - Day 28 - Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn (1981)
Much loved, this cult classic is a crazy ride from start to finish. Bruce Campbell is back to the cabin in the woods as our hero Ash, but unfortunately his girlfriend gets possessed pretty much straight in and he has to chop her head off with a shovel. From then on, whether it’s the iconic lines of ‘Workshed’, ‘Hello Lover’ or ‘Groovy!’, Evil Dead II is full of hilariously dark moments and just the plain hilarious – see Ash taking his own hand on when it’s possessed and tries to kill him.
From eyeballs popping out and flying into mouths through to gigantic strange tree monsters and demonic mothers locked in cellars, Evil Dead II truly delivers from the big brained vision of Sam Raimi. And no other male lead is put through it as much as Bruce.
BEST LAUGHING THING IN THE CABIN: The lamp
GORE RATING: 4/5
SCARES: 3/5
DISTURBIA: 4/5
TOTAL HALLOWEEN VIEWING RATING: 10/10
Watch it for: Bruce Campbell. Nuff said
Watch out for: The constant whirrrring, haunting sounds in the woods and cabin
