Bruce Campbell reprises his role of Ash – zombie slayer extraordinaire – in Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn; the comedy/horror sequel to the brilliant The Evil Dead.

I’ve heard Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn referred to as a horror masterpiece and I agree wholeheartedly. It has everything – some sincerely scary scenes, gore, evil zombies, an ass kicking hero and lots of laughs.

This isn’t a movie that’s meant to be taken seriously. I’m sure that goes without saying (see Ash fighting his own possessed hand) but I think that’s the problem a lot of people had with this movie, and this series in general. The Evil Dead movies are just a bloody good time. Keeping that in mind, I can’t see how anyone couldn’t love this movie. Top notch. A true classic.

Quick Review: Required watching for any blood lusting gore-hound.
