    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      During the scene where the severed head of Linda bites Ash's hand, Bruce Campbell says the single line "work shed". This line was later re-dubbed in post-production due to the quality of the audio, giving it a strange, slightly "disproportionate" sound to the audio. Nine years later, while filming his cameo in Escape from L.A. (1996), the first thing Kurt Russell said to Bruce Campbell on the set was, jokingly, "Say 'work shed'".
    • Goofs
      After Ash finds that the bridge has fallen and tries to speed off in reverse, away from the spirits, the spirit point of view moves over a fully intact bridge.
    • Quotes

      Henrietta: I'll swallow your soul! I'll swallow your soul! I'll swallow your soul!

      Ash: [aims shotgun at Henrietta's face] Swallow this.

    • Crazy credits
      The sequel to the ultimate experience in grueling horror
    • Alternate versions
      All the Anchor Bay releases are uncut for gore, but the new "Book of the Dead" edition digitally erases wires in several scenes (most noticeably when Henrietta's eye pops out).

    Raimi and Campbell are back for a bigger and juicier sequel!
    Evil Dead II (1987) After the huge success of the first film, Sam Raimi and

    Bruce Campbell reunite for this Quasi-Remake/Sequel. Ash and his lady

    are off on a nice trip through the woods. They stop off and rest inside an

    old cabin. Does Ash realize that he's been here before, or hasn't he? Raimi and company (armed with a bigger budget and over the top special effects) bring us the second installment of the Evil Dead series. This film focuses

    more on black humor and camp instead of shock and horror. Technically

    this film is far superior to the one that was release a few years back and in many ways it's a better film.

    What a better way to spend the night? Watch Evil Dead II with some of

    your friends and let the party begin! Leave all logic at the door.

    Remember, this is a movie, and a fun one at that.

    Highly recommended!
