The Evil Dead remains an undeniable classic. But Evil Dead 2 is arguably where director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell emerged fully formed. And it's why this entry perhaps boasts the most passionate fan base.
On this episode, David Rosen of the Piecing It Together podcast joins us to talk Evil Dead 2. We'll cover why it's one of his favorites, how it serves as both sequel and remake, and why it remains so rewatchable years later.
SYNOPSIS
The second of three films in the Evil Dead trilogy is part horror, part comedy, with Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) once again battling horrifying demons at a secluded cabin in the woods. After discovering an audiotape left by a college professor that contains voices reading from the Book of the Dead, Ash's girlfriend Linda (Denise Bixler) becomes possessed by evil spirits that are awakened by the voices on the tape. Ash soon discovers there is no escaping the woods.
