Evil Dead 2!

Recently, my family has been going through a bad action/horror movie phase. Our recent views have been the Robocop series, Terminator 3, Escape from New York, Army of Darkness, and just now, Evil Dead 2. Bruce Campbell is... well, you need to see him to understand his incredible acting presence. Here's a good look at the man:
Truly an amazing character. Here's a more flattering view of the chintacular wonder:

He's one of those people whose acting is so over-the-top terrible that it's actually extremely enjoyable. He has some of the best one-liners ever concieved, such as "All you got left now is jack and shit, and jack just left town!" and "Let's make like Zeus and bolt."
Evil Dead 2 isn't really the sequel to Evil Dead 1. Apparently, Evil Dead 1 was so bad, people couldn't get through the whole thing. However, someone thought the movie had potential, so they gave Bruce & friends some actual money to do a remake of Evil Dead 1, and Evil Dead 2 was born. Bruce doesn't have as many snazzy one-liners in Evil Dead 2 as in Army of Darkness or Alien Apocalypse, but his terribly incredible acting makes up for it. The plot goes like this: Dashingly handsome Ash Williams (played by Bruce Campbell himself) goes to an abandoned log cabin to make sweet, sweet love with his stunningly beautiful girlfriend, Annie Knowby (played by Sarah Berry). He discovers a tape recorder, and on it a recording of an archaeologist's exciting new find: The Book of the Dead. As the recording begins to read the book's text aloud, a dark and evil presence is awakened. And with it comes one of the many ingenious cheapass effects pioneered by directer Sam Raimi: a camera flying through the woods towards the location of our stalwart hero, accompanied by strangled screaming. We never really see what is in such a hurry to reach Ash, but we can use our imaginations. The unknown presence steals Ash's girlfriend, whose reanimated corpse does a little jig for her boyfriend before leaping off into the woods. This dramatic scene sets off the horrible series of events Raimi has in store for Mr. Williams, among which is this tasteful scene where his hand becomes possessed (please forgive the blood; it's just one of the many overdone things that make this movie charmingly bad):
Other classic scenes include one where Bruce slams down a trap door on a zombie's head, shooting an eyeball out of its head and into one of Bruce's accomplices; one where Ash shoots his disembodied hand crawling around in the wall, whereupon he is drenched in a torrent of blood flowing from the wall; and one where the zombified grandmother of Bruce's aforementioned accomplice grows a huge neck and gets in a boxing match with the chinmeister. Overall impression: A cheez-tastic horror movie, the bad acting and cheap special effects make it awesomely funny. A must-see for Bruce Campbell fans.
