And this week's Friday night movie has been.....Evil Dead 2!
Well i was warned that the silliness will continue....
I once heard a theory that proposed that: 'Sequels are remakes with bigger budgets'. And you could certainly make a case for that here.
It's >an improvement over it;s predecessor with more humor, more special effects and more fast camera work that makes me wonder if Sonic the Hedgehog was hired to shoot the movie.
But I still find the combination of comedy and horror a strange one: There are times when I am confused as to whether I should be put off or roaring with laughter.
Also, this is clearly the point in the series where Ash makes his mark as an anti-hero: the kind that has been replicated countless times over since (Duke Nukem anyone?). But because of this replication, the original subsequently seems to lack the impact he originally had.
Still this is the strongest of the series so far. Which now brings us to Army of Darkness.....
