Day 49: Evil Dead and Evil Dead II

Evil Dead

Whose Movie:  Mutual Buy

Rating: Campy, but it's Sam Raimi :)

This movie is totally awesome.  It's supposed to be scary, but you end up laughing through the whole thing.  the effects are terrible, the plot is awful, but it all fits together to be so bad it's good.  The real star is Bruce Campbell, who totally rocks as the hero of this movie.  This movie is also very controversial because of a scene where **SPOILER ALERT** a tree rapes a woman.  All in all I can watch this movie over and over again, because it's very entertaining.

Evil Dead II

Whose Movie: Mutual Buy

Rating: Even campier than the first.

The best part about this movie is that it TOTALLY re-writes the first movie in the beginning.  Don't believe me? Watch both of them.  The next best part of this movie: 90% of it is Bruce Campbell vs. Bruce Campbell.  This movie has a lot more slapstick in it than the first.  It also has a pretty weak plot.  But again, this is a movie that is so bad, it's good.  And it totally sets up for the conclusion of the trilogy: Army of Darkness, which we don't own.

Next up: We begin the F's: Fan Boys, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Fiddler on the Roof.
