Evil Dead II (1987)
About this episode
Zach and Chris discuss Evil Dead II and its place in the horror genre as the latest entry in the series is released.
This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris face some Deadites and discuss Evil Dead II, as the latest entry in the series, as Evil Dead Burn hits theaters. A "sequel" to the original The Evil Dead, the film stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, who travels to a secluded cabin with his girlfriend, Linda (Denise Bixler). After playing a recording he finds from the cabin's owner, Professor Knowby (John Peaks), a demonic evil force is unleashed that possesses Linda and tries to possess Ash. Zach and Chris discuss how this is the middle ground between the first movie and Army of Darkness, Bruce Campbell's amazing physical comedy, Ted Raimi literally sweating buckets as Henrietta, what the Deadites/Evil actually wants to accomplish, and more. You can watch Evil Dead II (and the rest of the series) on HBO Max. Next week, before we set out on The Odyssey, we're revisiting 2004's Troy for what happens prior to Odysseus trying to make the journey home. We want to hear your comments and feedback.
