Evil Dead
Enemy of the Gospel
bah.....
all the movies are decent in their own right (except maybe part 5)........they just aren't horror movies.
1 and 2 are both great/original horror flicks. It's not often you can have an original sequel.......but ANOES completely bucked the trend and decided not to do a carbon copy for Freddy's Revenge.
3, 4, 5 and Freddy's Dead are all just parodies of the original. The lead character has the same name but that's where the similarities end. Instead of a horror movies starring a psychotic madman hell bent on vengence we get soft little films about a prankster, a stand up comedian killng kids while trying to make us laugh.
A New Nightmare should have been good. If ANOES 3-6 had never been made, I think it would have. By the time New Nightmare came along I believe most of us were pretty much done with tolerating the idiot they had turned Freddy Krueger into and could have cared less about it.
