I did a search, and surprisingly enough, nobody has made this thread before.

Both Evil Dead and it's sequel are genre classics, no question about it. They are, however, quite different films dispite having a nearly identical plot. So, which is your favourite?

Myself, I really enjoy both. Evil Dead makes great use of a low budget, with great effects and genuine scares. Much more of a true, serious horror film than ED2. Evil Dead 2 does have it's benefits though. Ash, for instance, becomes the horror icon we all know and love, chainsaw, boomstick and all. The "Hell Hand" scene is hilarious, and the bigger budget really shows with more ambitious effects.

Personally, Id have to say the original is my favourite, due to it's more serious and scary nature, however both films have earner their place among my all-time favourites. [Check the sig]
