EVIL DEAD 2 (1987)

A young Sam Raimi co-wrote and directed this indie cult classic of the horror comedy genre, widely considered to be the best of the Evil Dead franchise. While walking in the woods, Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his girlfriend stumble upon a mysterious cabin with a dark secret. Soon Ash is tormented by demons (“Gimme back my hand!”) and there’s an absurd amount of blood and gore, with a healthy dose of slapstick humor. (“Who’s laughing now?”) Rated R. 85 minutes.
