Streaming The Evil Dead 2 Online.
Movie Title: The Evil Dead 2 The Evil Dead 2 is available for streaming or downloading. |
Up until this past year’s hilarious “Shaun of the Dead,” this film, “Evil Dead II,” really had no competition whatsoever for the funniest Horror film ever made. It would be easy to rave about this Cult Classic filled with trick photography, stop-motion animation, over-the-top gore-soaked casualties, Bruce Campbell’s charming chin, and one of the most underrated endings in film history, but I will point out why this particular DVD is exceptional instead. What makes this DVD rock is that the sound has been digitally remastered into THX surround sound. The sound-effects in this film are essential to magnify the humor and horror to its great heights. The other reason to get this DVD is the commentary which includes writer-director Sam Raimi, star Bruce Campbell, co-writer Scott Spiegel, and special make-up effects artist Greg Nicotero. I swear that listening to these guys self-deprecate and otherwise rip on themselves and the movie is as much fun as watching this film for the very first time. No kidding. I was rolling with laughter. For the quintessential backstory on this film may I recommend Bruce Campbell’s thoroughly enjoyable book, “If Chins Could Kill,” which is loaded with reminiscences about his time before, during, and after making this landmark Horror film classic. “Evil Dead II” is a necessary purchase for any Horror film afficionado. Highly recommended.
It comes in a groovy little tin with the European poster style on the top and inside has the booklet, a little ad for the video game and the dvd itself.
The booklet claims to have “rare photos”, but it’s just pictures from scenes throughout the movie that we’ve seen before- nothing special, but has some good insights from the special effects guys and Bruce.
Now for the DVD
I was really pleased with the extras- the commentary was a lot of fun- I enjoyed it more than the first Evil Dead special edition because Sam Raimi actually throws in a lot more tidbits with Bruce and friends to back him up. There were no long pauses, everyone had something interesting to say and it’s just a lot of fun listening to them mock the dialogue and point out the mistakes. Plus, there’s only four people on the commentary so no one is overwhelmed and we can hear everyone talking- I think too many people on commentaries can be frustrating. Also find out what Kurt Russel’s fav. line is from “Evil Dead 2″ in a quite hilarious memory Bruce brings up.
“The Gore The Merrier” featurette was very cool- it’s lengthy too so we get to see a lot of the cool effects being made and used in the final product. We also see Raimi, Campbell and the rest of the crew clowning around and also a ridiculous/funny little skit that the special effects team came up with- about a baby that comes back from the dead for revenge. The documentary was shot with a crappy camera, but back in ‘86′87- home video cameras sucked anyway so I wasn’t surprised- it’s fine though- just a little grainy.
The theatrical trailer was edited very well- I hadn’t seen it before and I was pretty impressed how spooky they made it.
The video game preview is awesome- like a teaser trailer, but it’s really neat- gotta see it for yourself.
The bios only consist of Bruce and Raimi, but they’re better than most bios you find on dvds.
Photos- no big deal- some candid shots.
Widescreen and full screen formats- sweet. Love it when they have both.
And…sound is great. Overall, nearly poi-fect dvd- I just would’ve liked some out-takes- cuz we know there was a lot of laughing going on from the reminiscing we hear on the commentary.
Buy it- definately worth it- great menu too, pretty much everything is worth mentioning!
