Our take

Only Sam Raimi could manifest this remarkable mix of terrifying horror and uproarious slapstick to singular, ingenious effect. Both a sequel and a potent re-imagining of the original _Evil Dead _, it arguably upgrades the original as a masterclass in camp, courtesy of an effervescent Bruce Campbell.
