️ R Rating Podcast – Evil Dead & Evil Dead II Review & Discussion In this episode of R Rating, we’re heading deep into the woods with Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987) — two cult horror classics that redefined the genre and launched the legendary career of Bruce Campbell and director Sam Raimi. What started as a low-budget cabin-in-the-woods nightmare became one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time, filled with gore, slapstick insanity, and unforgettable one-liners. We’ll break down how Evil Dead turned simple scares into raw terror through practical effects and atmosphere — and how Evil Dead II flipped the formula with over-the-top comedy, insane camera work, and Raimi’s signature chaotic energy. Is Evil Dead II a remake, a sequel, or something in between? And how do these two movies hold up today compared to modern horror? If you love practical effects, cult horror, and ‘80s filmmaking, this episode is a must-listen. Expect a full discussion on Ash Williams’ evolution, the Necronomicon, and the creative genius that made Sam Raimi a household name — plus our honest verdict on which Evil Dead reigns supreme.
