Evil Dead or Evil Dead 2?
 

I did a search, and surprisingly enough, nobody has made this thread before.

Both Evil Dead and it's sequel are genre classics, no question about it. They are, however, quite different films dispite having a nearly identical plot. So, which is your favourite?

Myself, I really enjoy both. Evil Dead makes great use of a low budget, with great effects and genuine scares. Much more of a true, serious horror film than ED2. Evil Dead 2 does have it's benefits though. Ash, for instance, becomes the horror icon we all know and love, chainsaw, boomstick and all. The "Hell Hand" scene is hilarious, and the bigger budget really shows with more ambitious effects.

Personally, Id have to say the original is my favourite, due to it's more serious and scary nature, however both films have earner their place among my all-time favourites. [Check the sig]

The Evil Dead is my favourite one. I really love Evil Dead II, but I prefer The Evil Dead.

love the whole trilogy but evil dead 2 is my fav. it just blends horror and comedy so well.

i luv em both,but i prefer evil dead 2 for it's fine tuning and polish.part two is the "Ash" we know and love.

ED1.
Better atmosphere, it was the original story, I think the demons looked better not to mention their dialogue being much more fucked up. That, and the redneck fuckers in the second one just annoyed me...

That's tough...I gotta say they're about equal as far as how much I like 'em but as far as which is the better movie, I'd have to say Evil Dead.

Evil Dead

Evil Dead II had alot of comedy in it. And I really didnt like that that much. I love both films. But Evil Dead is An Original and showed how amazingly an film can be put together on a shoestring budget.

EVIL DEAD

Horror wise, I would have to go with Evil dead, best of the series for me was army of darkness, and it was the novelty factor that sealed it for me.

I like Evil Dead II better, just for the development of Ash.

Both were amoung my favourites. I preferred #2 since I saw it first, and later saw the first expecting it to be like the second. I did however, find the clown-girl in the first movie to be utterly terrifying. XD
