-The Evil Dead II- 1987

Note:
These first few minutes are an almost unrecognizable remake of the first movie (creators couldn't get the rights to the first film). This time only Ash and his girlfriend visit the cabin. The tape recorder gets played, bringing the Evil and turning the girlfriend into a deadite. Ash is forced to kill her by chopping off her head with a shovel. Ash is alone and we see the Evil rush into him at full speed. That ends the quick and very different remake, then the sequel begins.

Ash is thrown into the woods by the evil rushing into him, which also causes him to turn into a deadite. Dawn saves Ash's soul turning him back into human. Ash tries to leave the woods, but the bridge is completely destroyed. So he is forced to go back to the cabin for the evening. That night the dead girlfriend climbs out of her grave and attacks Ash. Her severed head bites Ash's hand, infecting it with the Evil. Ash manages to chop his hand off with an ax before the Evil spreads. Later, the professors daughter shows up with three other people: her boyfriend, and the two locals that showed her the backwoods foot path to the cabin. Death and carnage ensues. The Professor's daughter manages to open a vortex by translating a spell out of the Book of the Dead. Ash is able to send the Evil into the vortex, but gets sucked into it himself. Ash, and his car end up in medieval Europe, surrounded by knights.

This film has a good dose of dark humor thrown into the horror.
