Evil Dead Survey
 

Hi ever'body! I'm conducting a quick survey.


In regards to the films The Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987)...

1. Which film did you prefer? (which film do you like better)

2. Which film did you see first?


Thanks for your participation!!

I like both, of course, but I find the first one to be more rewatchable. Forced to choose I would take it over Dead By Dawn.
Now, that first answer ties right in to your next question. I saw The sequel first and was a huge fan, and, even after I finally saw the first, I would have taken part two over the original. As the years have passed and my viewing habits and tastes have morphed, that has changed. Today I find the first to be a better Horror film and one that has gained luster for me with many repeated viewings.

I hope that's what your looking for, Sculpt.

Part 2.

It's very close but I think I like the original more.
It's more atmospheric, scarier and suspenseful. I really like how bloody it is, the blood and gore in the second movie was usually a different colour than red. The violence just felt more violent and visceral in the original. I also loved the visual look of the movie, it's a bit cheaper and rough around the edges but it's brighter looking compared to the second.

Don't get me wrong, I love the second movie too. I saw that one first when I was around 10 years old. Didn't see the original movie till I was about 16. I was scared and laughed a lot while watching Evil Dead 2, it's probably the most perfectly balanced movie of the entire series but I always find myself wanting the watch the original more often.

Also, I love the remake/reboot too!

One and one.

Part2 is your answer for both questions, right?

"1. Which film did you prefer? (which film do you like better)

2. Which film did you see first?"

Yep, that's how I roll...::big grin::

Saw ED2 first.......I'm throwin' my hat in the ring fer Evil Dead 2 as one of the top horror flix of all time....#1!!
