OMG!!!! I haven't seen this flick since my days in high school. If I'm not mistaken,I believe this happens to be one of the last unrated horror flicks to be put out in theaters.
Kassie DePaiva,who was in this movie under her maiden name Wessley,referenced it in this year's halloween episode of "One Life To Live" where she plays Blair Cramer.
Her on screen daughter,Starr,sneaks up on her and scares her. Blair was like "Haven't you seen "Evil Dead 2"? LOL! Classic.
These would have been awesome to see in theaters. LOVE the whole trilogy, but I only saw Army in theaters. I remember catching the first two originally back on the A&E network late at night when I was a kid. It was scary at the time but fascinating too. Really woke me up into being a true fan of both horror and film in general, because I was fascinated by the cheesy but fun effects and all.
Evil Dead series became pure classic of Comedy/Horror genre. Bruce Campbell did a great job. Evil Dead 2 was a good as original and Army of Darkness. You can find many hilarious, entertaining and even shocking scenes. The 80's made awesome comedy/horror films like Evil Dead 1 and 2, House 1 and 2, Elvira Mistress of the Dark etc
Blows Texas Chainsaw away? Well, maybe in the gore department it does, but not in the scare department. Well, not for me anyway because i've always found this movie hilariously funny.
The original TCM had no gore as it was mislead in the title for it's more psychological unlike it's sequels and remakes which were gorefeasts you know.
@Johnlindsey289 Exactly. But what it lacked in gore it more than made up for with tension, suspense and a creepy, unsettling atmosphere. TCM 2,3 and The Beginning were all out gorefests though.
Evil Dead II was released without a rating in the US. Director Sam Raimi and distributor Dino De Laurentiis intended for the film to be R but the MPAA slapped an X rating on it. The film ended up being released unrated without any cuts.
Ratings systems vary across North America (and overseas), and in Vancouver the film was rated Restricted. A lot of theaters at the time would not play an unrated film, and distributors want as much cash intake as possible. According to the Motion Picture Association of America the film is noted as being rated R, with a notation that it was re-edited after having been previously rated X.
@bubbaali021 Actually the movie was originally released to theaters UNRATED. Also some of the scenes that Raimi filmed were NEVER INCLUDED in a cut of the movie as far as I know. Like a demon dismembered and more horror scenes with the Possessed Linda. Those scene never had a final edit to be placed in the movie. There's only the behind the scenes footage showing those parts unfinished.
this movie is overrated, but still pretty good

was the violence too graphic to get an R or X rating

Initially yes but I believe it was re-edited and went out with an R rating
