Director: Sam Raimi
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Elizabeth Davidtz, Marcus Gilbert, Bridget Fonda
Another recent acquisition (on top of the 50+ title haul from last month - ugh!).
But it's okay, because this is a great movie and one that was sorely missing from our collection until now. And for $4, you can't pass that up. So here it is.
Who would've thought that a bad B movie (Evil Dead) would spawn this fantastic cult-classic sequel... well, a sequel to the remake Evil Dead 2. It's confusing, really. And they're all thanks to the genius of Sam Raimi and the unparalleled "action" comedy of Bruce Campbell. This, of all three movies, is my absolute favorite. Just for quotability alone it ranks pretty highly!
It's campy and a little cornball, but I really didn't mind adding this one to the queue!
Definitely a fun one. My own favorite though is Evil Dead 2. The first was too serious, the last was a little "Three Stooges" and the second was anperfect balance for me. Fun (and reportedly unintentional) tidbit, you can chop the first 10 minutes off the start and finish of Evil Dead 2 and the trilogy works as one continuous movie.
