	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"It looks superficially like a routine horror movie (...) But look a little closer and you'll realize that the movie is a fairly sophisticated satire (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"[A] genuine, if bizarre, proof of Sam Raimi's talent and developing skill. But it is definitely not for the squeamish"	NEU
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"[It] uses every trick in the cinematic book, and confirms that Bruce Campbell and Raimi are gods (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Nigel Floyd Time Out	"Raimi drags us screaming into his cinematic funhouse. Delirious, demented and diabolically funny."	POS
United States	Josh Modell AV Club	"Here’s a weird word to describe Evil Dead II, but I can think of none more appropriate: It’s delightful."	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"More an absurdist comedy than a horror film, Evil Dead II is a flashy good-natured display of special effects and scare tactics so extreme they can only be taken for laughs."	POS
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn never lets up, continually introducing new characters and adding new thrills and chills right up to the last frame… A terrific trip"	POS
