'Evil Dead 1' was never supposed to have a sequel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've never seen 'Evil Dead 2.' Sorry about that. I'm sorry to the world.
If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away. Thank God no one in the 'Evil Dead' family thinks that way.
It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.
I love 'Evil Dead 2!' Who doesn't love 'Evil Dead 2?'
As we all know, sequels can be tricky.
By definition a sequel can't be original. So you've got to figure out what worked the first time around.
I've always avoided sequels, unless I felt there was something fresh.
I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.
'Evil Dead' was such a big movie in my life. It's one of the few that I really remember when I watched it for the first time. I mean, I don't remember when I first saw 'The Empire Strikes Back,' and it's one of my favourite movies.
The 'Saw' sequels went in a direction I wouldn't have gone in. With 'Insidious 2,' I wanted to push a potential franchise in the direction I thought it should go in.
