  Review by James (Schaffrillas) ★★★★½

  Probably my favorite of Raimi's trilogy because the main character is at his most entertaining here, and while I find this one's insane tonal whiplash and absurd out-of-nowhere concepts to be utterly at odds with the previous two films, they're silly and distinct and memorable and fun enough to make this film the most consistently engaging out of the three to me.

  ...but enough about Spider-Man 3.

  don’t know what it was about evil dead and evil dead 2 that made sam raimi look back at them and decide the only logical conclusion to the trilogy was to send ash to 1300 AD to fight a skeleton army but i absolutely love where his mind was at

  Okay I knew that Evil Dead 2 turns the franchise into a comedic thing but I have only seen the first Evil Dead and the remake so I didn’t know the TONE of comedy that this would be… boy, was i in for a shock. Absolute blast of a movie, weirdly very scary at parts and then immediately 80s-teen-movie goofy right after it. The jokes feel like they’re for kids, but the spooks do not! Wish I’d watched this before I could recognize all the one liners!

  Review by Matt Singer ★★★★★

  Nobody moved a camera like ’90s Sam Raimi. You could teach an entire class on visual storytelling on just what Raimi does here in the first 20 minutes. The pans, shifts, zooms, and dollies; they’re wild and frenetic but they’re also totally clear and completely in the service of telling and enhancing the story. And then the sudden shifts from epic horror to goofy comedy; nobody’s ever done that better.

  Five stars ain’t enough. It really doesn’t get better than this.

  Review by DirkH ★★★★½ 5

  This film concludes a horror franchise I consider to be one of the greatest ever conceived.

  It is the trilogy's Santa Claus, adding joy, merriment and laughter.

  And chainsaws.

  And Deadites.

  And time travel.

  And cloning.

  And magic.

  Ok, so it's nothing like Santa at all, but you get my point.

  Oh, and I'm so proud! I managed to do this without one quote!

  Groovy!

  
  ....bollocks....

  “Well hello Mr Fancypants. Well, I’ve got news for you pal, you ain’t leadin but two things, right now: Jack and shit... and Jack left town.”

  Name a better trilogy. I’ll wait.

  Edit: Also Game of Thrones Season 8 wishes it could do what this film does…
