Return of the Evil Dead (1973) - Mikey B

Created on July 28th, 2008 by Mikey B

Tombs of the Blind Dead is one of the most solid, terrifying films ever made. It gets under your skin and does not let go until the final frame. That being said, Amando de Ossorio’s sequel, Return of the Evil Dead is like Tombs of the Blind Dead, on steroids. Everything in the sequel is heightened to an almost ridiculous level. The pacing is break-neck, the action is top notch, the nudity is cranked up and the character development actually competes with many of the better dramas ever made. Didn’t see that coming from a film about The Knights Templar coming back from the dead, did you? If Tombs of the Blind Dead was Ossorio’s Alien, then Return of the Evil Dead is his Aliens.
