Critic Reviews

Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn never lets up, continually introducing new characters and adding new thrills and chills right up to the last frame A terrific trip, although admittedly not one that everybody would enjoy taking. [13 Mar 1987, Calendar, p.6-14]Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

In many ways even more hellish and stylish than its predecessor... A horror cult classic.Full Review

Marjorie Baumgarten
Austin Chronicle

But Evil Dead 2's rampant inventiveness and manic energy have ensured that it will endure as a cult classic.Full Review

Joshua Klein
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Evil Dead 2 is, pardon the expression, consistently lively--a ghoulish splatter comedy that uses wildly excessive gore to provoke the kind of shock that lies between a laugh and a scream. [10 Apr 1987, Friday, p.M]Full Review

Dave Kehr
Chicago Tribune

The grubby, low-budget intensity of the film gives it a lovable quality that high-tech movies wouldn't have.Full Review
