Hello hello all! :D
I just love the ED series. For me, Evil Dead II was the best one out of the lot because it blended comedy with gorific horror so successfully.
Which one do you like the most? And how would you rank them and why?
I wanna know! :p

Noob, do a search first. I am sure this has been done before. :rolleyes:
But anyway, I like ED II the most too. Just for the perfect campy timing of Bruce Campbell and the awesome Raimi directional touch.
I d put ED II first, then ED, then Army of Darkness. They aint far by much though...almost equally love all 3 movies, for varied reasons.

Depends on the mood I'm in, if I'm in the mood for a comedy then I like Army of Darkness the best. If I want a horror I like Evil Dead the best. EDII is solidy inbetween in the two but I love all three with a passion.

Evil Dead
Evild Dead 2
Army of Darkness
In that order. The original ED is one of my all time favorite horror movies. ED2 while good dosen't make that list. Army of Darkness I don't honestly care for much at all but certianly has its moments.

Definitely Evil Dead II.
I have my reasons. A whole diatribe in fact.
But Chrono is very sleeeeeeepy... :(

For me, this is the "Chicken or the Egg?" question of horror films...utterly impossible to choose.
I dont think that Army of Darkness is really on par with the first two, but its still one of the coolest, funniest and most all-around awesome movies that I've ever seen.
EDII is probably the single most fun movie ever made...Bruce is incredible, the gore is awesome and the script is just...well..."Groovy".
The original Evil Dead, on the other hand, is just flat out groundbreaking. Not only did it revolutionize the genre, but it broke boundaries for low-budget indie flicks in general. Plus, it's super atmospheric, really funny (though not as hilarious as II) and even manages to be really, really creepy in parts (which neither of the others can really boast).
It depends 100% on my mood...right now I'd be more inclined to say I prefer Evil Dead II, but if you dig up the 30 other times I've posted in threads like this, I know for a fact that I've put the original on top many times.

Easily Evil Dead. It was more of an attempt at serious horror. Evil Dead II started in with the Three Stooges slapstick which didn't really impress me too much. Army just continued it to the extreme. Not to say that I don't love II or Army, but out fo the three, I love the first one way more.

I've got agree with your assesment of Evil Dead. When it came out there was NOTHING like it. NOTHING. I can still remember seeing it in the theatre. Right from that opening traveling shot at ground level it was apparent you were in for something really incredible- and not a moment was disappointing.
A truly ground breaking horror film.

I still need to track that one down....I've read about it, but never had the chance to watch it.
