Evil Dead: 1 or 2?
 
Which one do you guys like better:

Evil Dead or Evil Dead II?

Evil Dead II's much funnier, and Bruce with a chainsaw arm...ehhhhh it's good. But I have to say I like the original better.

How 'bout you?

Army of Darkness is funnier still (hilarious in parts, in a 3-Stooges kinda way) - I think Evil Dead is by far the most horrific, and the sequel is more a light hearted parody of the original.

1 is my favorite,

2 is a remake of 1 with a bigger budget and more comedy.

3 is pure comedy



i like them all ..

I definitely love all three films, these films along with others like: the Halloween Series (well not all of them) and the George A. Romero films are what made me want to be making horror films for aliving.

I would have to say though that Evil Dead II is my favorite of the three followed by the original and then Army of Darkness.

I.

I love all three. But Evil Dead 2 is one of my favorite films of all time. Hilarious with great gore, and I think it is Bruce Campbell at his best. Great fun and also very clever.

The pencil scene in the first one makes it my favorite of the series.

The scenes in Evil Dead II where his hand goes crazy with the pots and pans and also the whole hysteria scene where everyhting in the house is laughing to me are two of the best scenes of any movie.

RoLLiNLiGhTs 08-02-2005 10:11 AM

I love 'em all....but part 2 would have to be my fav....:D
It's just a great movie all round...

TheOmen 08-02-2005 10:47 AM

Part 1, because it's the only one that's straight horror . I love all of them, though.

zomb5150 08-02-2005 04:05 PM

They were both good, but I think that Evil dead 2 is my favorite.:D

Elvis_Christ 08-02-2005 07:33 PM

Number 2 all the way!

MisterSadistro 08-02-2005 08:18 PM

1. Low budget, clever angles, and some great fx ( some horrible ones LOL). An overall terrific atmosphere. The others can't hold a candle to it in that regard.

I love love loves number two. Then the first one followed by Army.

ShankS 08-02-2005 09:10 PM

enjoy all three, but prefer the first.

no mulier 08-03-2005 03:09 AM

I like them all.
The first one serves up the scare.
The second adds some romance and comedy.
The third...oh well, it was fun!

Bruce Campbell is just one of a kind. He's priceless.
The scene with his hand-gone-evildead was absolutely hilarious...the look of triumph and pain on his face when he cuts it off!

RavageRitual 08-03-2005 07:14 PM

The first was my favorite, It was a tuff decision though their all amazing

crippler666 08-05-2005 03:50 PM

The first is the best, then 3 and 2.

The first was meant to be black comedy, but eveyone ignored the humor.

With number 2 the humor was more in your face so no one could ban it.

Number 3 was a good balance of the other movies, the theatrical cut was better.

Posher778 04-13-2006 08:51 PM

The first didn't much appeal to me, too much horror with a lack of comedy or action until the last 10 minutes.

Evil Dead 2 is the most hilarious thing... ever.

horror_fan_Nick 04-14-2006 12:40 AM

The whole series is amazing, but I would have to say Evil Dead II was my favorite. :)

siva1101 04-14-2006 12:58 AM

Hello guys , I am new to this group and in future i will be keeping on posting my collection of films

The_Return 04-14-2006 02:00 AM

Loved both for different reasons. #1 was a great, atmospheric horror movie, and #2 had me rolling in the aisles while still holding on to a bit of the scare-factor from #1. Though overall I think #1 is the better film, both made it into my signature

Bunman 04-14-2006 03:58 AM

I love them all, but the first Evil Dead is deffo the best.

noctuary 04-14-2006 04:38 AM

The first is definitely my favorite. I enjoyed the comedy of the second two as well, but the (relatively) straight horror approach of the first one worked much better for me.

Time-Machinist 04-16-2006 04:10 PM

II, then I...

Tat2 04-16-2006 04:34 PM

#1 for out right horror
#3 then #2 for black comedy
