Leave your thoughts about Evil Dead II.
| EmpireWilliam ThomasThe gaudily gory, virtuoso, hyper-kinetic horror sequel/remake uses every trick in the cinematic book, and confirms that Bruce Campbell and Raimi are gods. |
| Film ThreatJeremy ZossThanks to Sam Raimi’s inventive style and Bruce Campbell’s hysterical performance, the horror-comedy genre has grown into a legitimate genre, but Evil Dead 2 will forever be the king. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIn many ways even more hellish and stylish than its predecessor... A horror cult classic. |
| IGNR.L. ShafferI wholeheartedly love Evil Dead II. It's a great midnight movie, and one of the best horror-comedies ever made. |
| The A.V. ClubJoshua KleinBut Evil Dead 2's rampant inventiveness and manic energy have ensured that it will endure as a cult classic. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe grubby, low-budget intensity of the film gives it a lovable quality that high-tech movies wouldn't have. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrA deliriously cinematic experience for those with a taste for Grand Guignol, this is a relentlessly energetic nightmare world where quite literally anything can happen--and does. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFor those with a taste for outrageousness and an appetite for horror, there's no juicier meal than the Evil Dead movies. |
| Slant MagazineFernando F. CroceSam Raimi’s sequel/remake is full-on gore slapstick, more Tex Avery than Dario Argento. |
| BBCMatt FordNot so much a follow-up as a ruthless self-parody, Evil Dead II ranks as one of the most visually inventive, relentless, and truly original films ever made. |
