Evil Dead II (1987)
10/10
Groovy. Groovy Movie.
24 October 2022
I saw this the other night in a theater full of people who applauded and laughed and cheered at every line. So you can see why I had a good time.

It's refreshing to see a movie that takes itself seriously while also allowing it to be super fun. For example, there are multiple pretty effective jump scares, and also multiple really effective laughs.

Sam Raimi's directing skills shine and it makes me think about how much the Daniels (directors of "Everything Everywhere All At Once) were probably inspired by them It makes me want to watch "Army of Darkness".

Also, by the way, when Bruce Campbell says, "Groovy" I couldn't help but think, "This is cinema."
