Our take
Sam Raimi’s breakthrough film, the beloved zombie classic The Evil Dead, is so chock-full of horrific pleasure that its sequel was essentially a remake! An instantly iconic performance from Bruce Campbell is propelled by gonzo low-budget ingenuity to conjure up a creepfest of cult proportions.
