Evil Deadis a low - budget horror classic . Itssequel , conveniently titledEvil Dead II , come out six year after the original and is also a classic — an amped - up reading of the first celluloid that adds more humor and gore with the avail of a larger budget . However , not every “ part 2 ” in the scary - picture realm manages to complement the first in its series so grandly , but turn out there are quite a few .
We ’re not saying these first sequels are better than the original ( though sometimes they are ) . We ’re also not taking into invoice movies that are n’t specifically the second film in the series ( though sometimes , you ’ll getan unusually higher-ranking part three , four , or gamy ; the horror genre does love to reinvent itself ) . And we ’re sticking to horror — soAliensandPredator 2fans , we are right there with you , but those lean a little more sci - fi so we ’re depart them off this exceptional leaning . You ’ll also observe it heavily ( but not entirely ! ) favors title with the actual numerical two in them . So today io9 is celebrate 17 part II that make for us joy — lineage - splatter , terrifying joyousness … commence with Sam Raimi ’s 1987 Evil Dead II , starringBruce Campbell , a chain saw , some wildly malevolent trees , the Necronomicon , and a whole lot of cackle Deadites .
