Evil Dead 1 or 2?
 
Pick.
State Your opinion.
Why?


Ive seen them all, but BARELY remember the first. I recently re watched 2, and it was an AMAZING movie experience. I cant watch it over and over again.
3 is great. But 2 was just awesome.


1 isnt as humorous, and being that i cant remember it very well, i find it hard to even picture ash without his bad ass attitude.
I jsut saw the trailer for 1, and it look awesome, but has a totally differnet vibe.

The first film is for the old-school, I think - it is raw, dark and fairly downbeat.

The sequel lightens things up a lot as you say, with more a slant towards humour making the gore rather comical and less effective than in the original.

It also revolved almost entirely around the hero, and hero-driven horror movies are a different beast. In Evil Dead, it was the things and forces in the forest that were the main attractions.

The second.

Because it has the best story, the biggest budget and most important.... All the best lines.:cool:

Evil Dead 2 was Evil Dead+

The first is classic, but the second is just great. the laughing deer head is one of the freakiest looking things on film.

Evil Dead.


I did like #2 but i watched the origional over and over again till i almost wore out the tape.

one of the best - most influential horror films (at least to me) ever.

The Evil Dead

Why?: I liked how Ash kind of became the main character halfway through and it was just a great horror movie where as the 2nd and 3rd movies weren't pure horror. I still loved the second and third movies though. The Evil Dead is also the second DVD I ever bought.

Here's how I'd score them:

The Evil Dead 92%
Evil Dead II 87%
Army of Darkness 78%

to at least partailly agree with you, evil dead was so influential, the guy who made it remade it for it's own sequal. that is influence... :)

Evil Dead

2 was good but as stated...more geared towards humor.The first was pretty brutal for its time.

The tree scene always got me....

i mean really, how many movies have a woman being brutally raped by trees?
