Horror obsessive and director of Hostel, Eli Roth, introduces Evil Dead II

Good clean fun for those horror fans who demand nothing more than a welter of blood, swivelling zombies and non-stop action and don't ask for a story that makes any kind of sense.

It's all, as the dialogue demonstrates, tongue-in-cheek (well, chainsaw-in-cheek anyway) and director Sam Raimi probably has it about right when he claims that 'we're just trying to give the audience a good time'.

As for the rest, Denise Bixler is far too dishy and talented to get killed in the first reel, and the rest of the cast give it all they've got.

That cabin in the woods is still infested with evil spirits and you may find their gruesome antics get to you in the end.
