EVIL DEAD 2 & EVIL DEAD (vhs) remake/rewind, and similar items

Pre-viewed for quality and part 2 had a few 'dirt' flashes of thick snow lines on the opening 'Book of the Dead' prologue and one at the cabin about 6 minutes in. Played fine otherwise on my Panasonic vcr deck. These will usually go away or improve upon further viewings. The Evil Dead played great on my Sony vcr deck and is a full frame (1.33:1) presentation, perfect for old school tube TVs as the image will fill your square frame. Evil Dead 2 is a special widescreen collector's edition and comes in a black clamshell keepcase with a slightly faded cover. It is presented letterboxed (1.85:1) so newer widescreen TV owners need to use one of your zoom modes to fill the frame. Both stories are basically the same as part two is actually a remake with a bigger budget and better special FX plus it has some humour. The original is more serious and darker in tone. EVIL DEAD 2: This is so stylishly, hysterically overdone that it stands out as a first-class comedy gore flick. Once again the Book of the Dead allows invisible demons to rove the forest, animating inanimate objects and possessing animate ones. Sam Raimi is out to startle you with the most blatant visuals. A man chainsawing off his own hand, a woman gulping an eyeball, tree roots and tendrils strangling humans, and demons cackling their evil are among the perverted delights. EVIL DEAD: Concerns young adults finding a Book of the Dead from the Sumerian period in a wilderness cabin. Recited incantations open portals to another dimension and hideous demons wreak havoc. And havoc it is, as bodies are hacked to pieces--the only way to stop the evil entities. Full of visual shocks, reflecting gore talents to come. Watch the requel first then rewind and watch the original.
