Description of this Evil Dead 2 Poster
Evil Dead II is a 1987 American horror comedy film directed by Sam Raimi, who co-wrote it with Scott Spiegel. The film is the second installment in the Evil Dead series and is considered both a remake and a sequel (or “requel”) to The Evil Dead (1981). It stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, who goes on vacation with his girlfriend to a remote cabin in the woods. He discovers an audio cassette of recitations from a book of ancient texts, and when the recording is played, it releases a number of demons that possess and torment him.
After the critical and commercial failure of Crimewave (1985), Raimi, producer Robert Tapert, and Campbell began work on a sequel to The Evil Dead at the insistence of their publicist Irvin Shapiro. Having approved the original film, author Stephen King brought the project to the attention of producer Dino De Laurentiis, with whom he had made his directorial debut in Maximum Overdrive (1986). De Laurentiis agreed to provide financial support and gave the filmmakers a considerably larger budget than they had used for the original film. Although Raimi envisioned a storyline set in the Middle Ages and involving time travel, De Laurentiis requested that the film be similar to its predecessor.
Evil Dead II was filmed in Wadesboro, North Carolina, and Detroit, Michigan, in 1986, and featured extensive stop-motion animation and prosthetic makeup effects created by a team of artists including Mark Shostrom, Greg Nicotero, Robert Kurtzman, and Tom Sullivan, the latter of whom had returned from the original film. The completed film was released in the United States on March 13, 1987; due to its high level of violence, it was released through a pseudonymous distributor to avoid being rated X by the Motion Picture Association of America. Like The Evil Dead, it was widely acclaimed by critics, who praised its humor, Raimi’s direction, and Campbell’s performance; many considered it superior to its predecessor and one of the greatest horror films ever made. Despite a somewhat limited release, the film was a minor box office success, grossing just under $6 million.
As with the first film, Evil Dead II has become a major international cult film. In 1992, it was followed by the direct sequel Army of Darkness, which reworked Raimi’s original premise; in 2013, it was followed by the soft reboot and sequel Evil Dead, which acted as a continuation; and in 2015, it was followed by the television series Ash vs. Evil Dead. A fifth film in the series, Evil Dead Rise, is scheduled for release in April 2023.
Ash Williams and his girlfriend, Linda, spend a romantic vacation in a seemingly abandoned cabin in the woods. While in the cabin, Ash listens to a tape of archaeologist Raymond Knowby, the cabin’s previous inhabitant, reciting passages from the “Book of the Dead,” the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, which he discovered during an archaeological dig. The recorded incantation releases an evil force (also known as the Kandarian Demon) that kills and then possesses Linda, transforming her into a “deadite.” Ash is then forced to decapitate her with a shovel and bury her in a shallow grave near the cabin. At dawn, the evil force knocks Ash into the woods. He is briefly possessed by the demon, but when day breaks, he inexplicably returns to normal.
He attempts to flee the area but discovers that the bridge leading to the cabin has been destroyed. The spirit pursues him to the cabin, where Linda’s reanimated head attacks him and bites his hand. He runs to the cabin, where Linda’s headless body attacks him with a chainsaw, but he gains the upper hand and kills the dead Linda. Her right hand becomes possessed and attempts to kill him, and he severs it with the chainsaw before attempting to shoot it with a shotgun, but the hand taunts him and eventually escapes. Meanwhile, Knowby’s daughter Annie and her research partner, Ed Getley, return from the excavation with the missing pages of the Necronomicon and discover the destroyed bridge. They enlist the help of repairman Jake and his girlfriend Bobby Joe to direct them to another route to the cabin, where they find a beleaguered and blood-covered Ash. Believing he murdered Annie’s parents, Annie and the others lock him in the cellar. The four newcomers listen to the rest of Knowby’s recording, detailing how his wife Henrietta was possessed by the Kandarian demon, and that he killed and buried her in the cellar. Henrietta, now dead, possesses Ed; Ash dismembers him with an axe. Bobby Joe attempts to escape, but trees possessed by the demon attack him and drag him to his death. Annie translates two of the Necronomicon pages before Jake turns on them and throws the pages into the cellar, forcing them at gunpoint to find Bobby Joe. Ash is possessed again and attacks Jake. Annie takes refuge in the cabin and accidentally stabs Jake (mistaking him for the possessed Ash) before Henrietta kills him. The dead Ash attempts to kill Annie, but reverts to normal upon seeing Linda’s necklace. With Annie’s help, Ash modifies the chainsaw, attaches it to the stump of his right arm, and cuts off the gun barrel. After finding the missing pages of the Necronomicon in the cellar, Ash kills Henrietta. The trees outside begin destroying the cabin. Annie reveals that she has only read the first half of the incantation and attempts to finish the second. As she reads it, Ash’s severed hand uses a Kandarian dagger to stab her in the back. She manages to complete the incantation before succumbing to her wound. The incantation opens a swirling time vortex that draws in not only the demon, but also Ash and his Oldsmobile Delta 88.
Ash and his Oldsmobile land in the Middle Ages. A group of knights confront him and initially mistake him for a Deadite, but they are quickly distracted by the appearance of a real, harpy-like Deadite. Ash takes him down with his shotgun, and they hail him as a hero come to save them, causing him to break down and scream in anguish.
