I am familiar with the film, I did a great deal of research on the film before I actually watched it. I have multiple books on horror movies and have read virtually all of them and the film came reccomended, but I personally am not a fan of that level of torture, gore, and explicit sex or even torture of any kind. I believe that direction of horror movies was misguided and I am glad to see it seems to have passed. Also, the animal mutilation scenes were the most terrible things I have seen on film. I will retract my statement on lacking a moral compass. I see it now that you mention it. I realize it contained a message on civilization (I pointed it out in my comment). I just could not handle the film. As I mentioned, I personally loved The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), I did not even realize people still knew the original. I am unable to make a statement on Evil Dead II because I have not seen it, but i'm sure it will be a good film. I do agree with some of the other comments that The Evil Dead (1981) would have been a better film, but that was not an option. You're welcome for the feedback.
