If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Sam Raimi must be the happiest person on earth. Not content with creating one of the most ferocious lo-fi horror movies ever, Raimi one-upped himself by reimagining the original EVIL DEAD as a parody. And a sequel. The gonzo, ultra-creative EVIL DEAD 2 reunites the iconic Ash (Bruce Campbell) with a possessed cabin in the woods. But this time, Raimi and co-writer Scott Spiegel weren't happy with simply fashioning chainsaws as hands, decapitating demons, and filling up rooms with blood. They wanted more!! And so, the spirit of EVIL DEAD was combined with the mystique of Val Lewton, the energy of Looney Tunes, and the slapstick of The Three Stooges to create the definitive horror head-rush of 1987. And also all years forever after infinity. (Joseph A. Ziemba)
