Evil Dead II (1987)
OK, so I really hated the first Evil Dead movie. Although I am not *that* easy to squick out, most of the shocking gore moments in it were just too much for me (could not handle the creatures oozing milk... *shudder*). On top of that, it took itself far too seriously, and not even in a very entertainingly bad fashion. This one remedies both those issues in one go - cutting back on the over-the-top gore and going a little lighter on the story makes for something that is so much more fun than I thought it would be. It's a completely different movie from the first one, and a much, much better one. 3.5 stars.
Flickchart: #691, below Fantasia 2000 and above The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.
