Leave out the blood and the gore and a few of the details, and this entire sequence builds like a tribute to the Three Stooges. The movie devours ideas at such a prodigious rate that it begins to repeat itself toward the end, but the first 45 minutes have a kind of manic, inspired genius to them.Ĭonsider, for example, the scene where the hero severs his hand from his body and the hand takes on a life of its own, attacking him. On the other hand, if you know it's all special effects, and if you've seen a lot of other movies and have a sense of humor, you might have a great time at "Evil Dead 2." I did - up to a point. If nauseating images of horrific gore are not, as they say, your cup of tea, the odds are good you will not have a great time during this movie. Heads are clamped into vises and squashed. After they are chopped off, they have a life of their own. Hands go berserk and start attacking their owners. This story is told with wall-to-wall special effects.
