Not Coming to a Theater Near You
There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin’ things, lacy things, things with curly hair.

As I remarked to some friends after seeing this, at the Brattle, for the fourth time in four subsequent Halloweens, Evil Dead II is a film I have essentially memorized, yet each time I see it I have a different favorite part. This time around it’s the scene in which all the living room dressings are laughing hysterically at Ash, and the moment at which his own hysteria escalates into outright terror. Ash just stands there with a sort of delirious moan as the camera pivots around him, the room filled with cackling light fixtures and hardware, revealing no exit. And in one of this film’s multiple climaxes, Ash aims his shotgun directly toward you and fires.
