3 out of 5
This thrill-packed heaven for gore-hounds starts with an embellished recap of the original film before spinning off into another possession tale, with hopeless hero Ash (Bruce Campbell) again trying to repel a nasty demonic onslaught. Flashy special effects, hysterical scare tactics and Three Stooges-style farce combine with director Sam Raimi's trademark dizzying camera angles and manic wit for a breathless rollercoaster ride through twisted genre conventions. Campbell mugs shamelessly and clearly has a ball as scene outdoes scene in comic thrust and haphazard horror. The results are hilarious - Ash's scuttling severed hand held down by a copy of A Farewell to Arms, for example.
Plot Summary
Horror comedy starring Bruce Campbell as Ash, whose romantic break in a remote cabin goes terrifyingly wrong when he accidentally unleashes an evil force that possesses his girlfriend.
