Evil Dead Pt 2 is the best remake ever.
The same director, making the same film twice, but with a (moderately) higher budget, a lot of creative problem-solving, a defiant "We can do this" attitude, and Bruce Campbell reaching Buster Keaton-levels of physical comedy genius.
Incredible, all the way, through and through.
And don't forget the camera work, it's weird, creative and simply fantastic! So many strange angles and motion..
This movie is a great example of what people, used to a minimum budget, can do if you throw money at them.
One element that fits under "creative problem-solving".
That long subjective camera rush towards Ash (Campbell), the one that continued the cliffhanger end of Evil Dead 1, then lifting Ash and spinning him at high speed... I can deconstruct more or less how they did it - at regular or slow speed, Campbell strapped to a board and on an axes, etc. - but I still can't wrap my head around the insanely good final result. It's like... one of the best examples in cinema of something being more than the sum of its' parts.
That's like A Bout De Soufflé caliber gourmet shit, Jimmy!
Oh my, I just watched it again! What a ride!!
