Viewing Notes

Saw this on the newly returned shelf at the library today so I grabbed it b/c after yesterday’s chatter on twitter about the Evil Dead films I realized I haven’t seen the 2nd film in years… possibly since college.

Yep, this is def a different turn from the first film but I’m not w/the crowd that prefers this one over the first one in terms of rewatchability. I’d rather watch the first more often given the choice. I do dig the comedy here but not as much as the dark tone of the first film. But I would love to see this film in the theater w/a crowd.
