"Evil Dead II" or "Drag Me To Hell"?
since ED II was clearly the winner in this poll: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/movie-talk/...imi-movie.html
i thought it would be fun for an update and pit the previous favorite with his critically praised and fan adored latest.
i am actually queing (sp?) up ED II to watch sometime tonight and will reserve my opinion till after.
but, DMTH was never boring and a lot of fun, but owed to much to ED II from what i remember. tonight's refresher will see if it holds up to the latest incarnation of Raimi evil and thus surpasses.
so after seeing DMTH, do you prefer it over ED II and why?

Honestly for me, at this moment, it will probably go to ED2... but it's too early to tell as I've only seen Drag Me to Hell once so far and I've had many. many years to digest and rewatch ED2.
But I think that the fact I am debating this so closely already says a lot. I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if one day DMtH ends up on the top for me of these two flicks.
FWIW, I prefer Evil Dead to the sequels, but I've been a pretty huge Raimi fan since as long as I can remember.

Re: "Evil Dead II" or "Drag Me To Hell"?
I actually think that A Simple Plan, Spider-Man 2 and Army of Darkness are better than Evil Dead II, but that's just me. (according to that old thread, I picked Spidey 2 with EDII close behind - but I've since rewatched all of the above and reordered my list accordingly) It'll take some time to see exactly where Drag Me to Hell stacks up, but I think it'd be right behind those 4....so for the purpose of this thread, Evil Dead II.

Re: "Evil Dead II" or "Drag Me To Hell"?
The only reason I am bothered slightly by the High Fidelity scene is because it seems like they might be talking more about Army of Darkness than Evil Dead II, which is distracting.
Even though I loved Drag Me to Hell, this is a silly poll. Evil Dead II hands down.
