Evil Dead II

I took a couple of weeks off from posting or, rather, from watching movies because I was preoccupied with working my way through all nine seasons of The Office.

My return to the blog is part 2 of the Evil Dead series.

Following this is a re-telling of part 1 in which our hero Ash only takes his girlfriend to the deserted cabin of the first installment. The find the book, girl loses her head, Ash is left to face the evil spirits all alone. He does lose a body part, as well. To save himself from alien hand syndrome he cuts the affected limb off with a chainsaw. And he goes slightly mad.

Soon he is joined by a group of four people, one of them the daughter of the owner of the cabin. Her scientist father found and translated the evil book and it was his voice on tape that called on the evil spirits. The daughter now brings with her the means to undo all that - missing pages.

But before they are saved of anything more blood will flow.

Basically the same as part one with different cast (except for the wonderful Bruce Campbell). The main difference is that this one does not take itself too seriously.
