Film Threat - Unnamed
Thanks to Sam Raimi’s inventive style and Bruce Campbell’s hysterical performance, the horror-comedy genre has grown into a legitimate genre, but Evil Dead 2 will forever be the king.

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn never lets up, continually introducing new characters and adding new thrills and chills right up to the last frame… A terrific trip, although admittedly not one that everybody would enjoy taking. [13 Mar 1987, Calendar, p.6-14]
89
Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
In many ways even more hellish and stylish than its predecessor... A horror cult classic.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The grubby, low-budget intensity of the film gives it a lovable quality that high-tech movies wouldn't have.
75
Chicago Tribune - Dave Kehr
Evil Dead 2 is, pardon the expression, consistently lively--a ghoulish splatter comedy that uses wildly excessive gore to provoke the kind of shock that lies between a laugh and a scream. [10 Apr 1987, Friday, p.M]
