Evil Dead II, The

Sam Raimi, 1987.

Basically the same film as it’s prequel, but better! After the horrors endured by Ash in the first film he bizarrely, and inexplicably, returns to the cabin with a new girlfriend. Needless to say, she is possessed and decapitated within the first half-hour! What I really love about this film is Campbell’s superb slapstick. The highlight being when his demon-possessed hand starts beating him up- ultimately he divorces it from his arm with a chainsaw, only for it to scurry away. Campbell’s expressions all the while are hysterically funny. One of my favourite horror films.
