Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn
Horror Sequel
People can argue about it being a sequel or remake all they want. The filmmakers have gone on record saying they couldn't get the rights to the original footage, so they re-shot the opening. Campbell jokingly calls it a "requel."
I love this film as much as the original. It's Raimi with a bigger budget and more creativity. Learning from his mistakes and making other ones. I love seeing the wire on the eyeball flying into a character's mouth. I love the comedic horror, which is on point here. Horror comedy is hard, this movie nails it. Small jokes like putting the book A Farewell To Arms on the bucket where he has his severed hand, perfect.
People will say this is the best of the three, I won't argue that. I think they are all on the same level, as I can't really pick a favourite (ignore my top ten list ).
