Critic Reviews
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Good acting would not have served the material well, since it would have diluted the comedy quotient and made the campy elements seem cheap and cheesy.
-
Variety Staff, Variety
A flashy good-natured display of special effects and scare tactics so extreme they can only be taken for laughs.
-
Pat Graham, Chicago Reader
The pop-up humor and smirkiness suggest Raimi's aspiring to the fashionable company of the brothers Coen, though on the basis of this strained effort I'd say he's overshot the mark.
-
Caryn James, New York Times
Genuine, if bizarre, proof of Sam Raimi's talent and developing skill.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
If you know it's all special effects, and if you've seen a lot of other movies and have a sense of humor, you might have a great time at Evil Dead 2.
