Evil Dead II
Kiss your nerves goodbye!
Directed by Sam Raimi
Produced by Rosebud Releasing Corporation, Renaissance Pictures
A gleefully grotesque horror-comedy that weaponizes absurdity and slapstick gore to create a relentless, darkly funny assault on the senses.
Ash Williams and his girlfriend Linda find a log cabin in the woods with a voice recording from an archeologist who had recorded himself reciting ancient chants from "The Book of the Dead." As they play the recording an evil power is unleashed taking over Linda's body.
