I saw Evil Dead 2 first, and saw Evil Dead later on. I didn't think it was even close as good. I don't think it had the heart ED2 did. It wasn't as creative, and it wasn't even in the same ballpark for humor. That's just my opinion. I would have thought I'd like it, since I loved ED2 so much, but what can I say.

I respect you appreciation for Bride. But as far as royal critics crowning certain movies as masterpieces... I've agreed with most, but some are very undeserving. Like some 'classics of literature' that nobody enjoys reading.

I wasn't able to see Bride of Frankenstein as a kid, just one of those I always missed. I saw it for the first time just a few years ago. Oh my... It wasn't a horror movie, it was satire. The original Frankenstein was completely believable and engrossing. Bride had no believability to me. Case in point -- we enter a room where eight inch tall elephants are under a one foot diameter glass cake cover (or whatever you want to call it). It had nothing to do with the main plot. Yanked me out of the movie. And then the Frankenstein monster is a philosopher. It was whimsical. And I hated it. I admit it -- I loved reality, seriousness, and cold gloom of the original Frankenstein, and when Bride was whimsical satire spoofing the original movie, and I wanted to barf. So maybe I partly couldn't get past my expectations.

Rosemary's Baby was OK to me. I'm a patient viewer, and appreciate depth and mood, which one reason I love Alien, but I thought Rose wasn't quite sharp enough, and felt a bit diffuse and mundane for large periods of time. The acting was good, but strangely at the same time I thought the characters were a bit flat, underdeveloped.
