Okay, so I am cheating a little tonight as I am going to
review one of my all-time favorites. To be honest, I probably watch this one
twice a year, and that date came last night as I was working on a couple
project ideas. That movie is the 1987 classic Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn.
Plot/ The lone survivor of an onslaught of flesh-possessing
spirits holes up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue
their attack.
The Evil Dead series is one of my all-time favorites and
amazingly are just as entertaining today than they were when they came out.
That is especially the case with this entry, which in many ways help energize
the genre with its cult status. This low budget story is in no way a sequel, it
is a different perspective on the classic source material. While it did lack
the serious tone of the original, it makes up for that with a perfect blend of
comedy, gore, and horror that takes the series to a completely new plane. Yes,
it has all of the action, possessions, and of course, Bruce Campbell, but it is
the combination of solid performances, outstanding storyline, and crazy
characters that truly brings this one to life. In the end, if you are a horror
fan and have not watched this one, shame on you. The may be one of the best
horror films on the 1980s and is one that will surely continue to stand the
test of time. Find it and watch it!
