Plot Description:
Ash, the sole survivor of The Evil Dead, returns to the same isolated cabin deep in the woods with his girlfriend, Linda. The two discover a mysterious tape recorder and hear the voice of Professor Knoby reciting passages from the Necronomicon, or Book of the Dead. Little do they know that the professor's words are powerful enough to invoke a spell that unleashes the spirit of evil alive in the remote forest surrounding them. Watch in terror as the plot sickens and the supernatural demons invade the cabin on a gory crusade for human victims. In desperation, Ash attempts to escape his horrific fate by battling with the gruesome ghouls with the help of some unexpected visitors. However, he discovers that he is no match for the unspeakable creatures lurking behind every door, and waiting beyond every corner.

Movie Trivia
- One of the books on the can that traps Ash's possessed hand is "A Farewell to Arms."
- A glove belonging to _Nightmare on Elm Street, A (1984)_ 's Freddy Krueger can be seen hanging near the steps in one of the cellar scenes. This was in response to the use of Evil Dead, The (1982) on a television screen in _Nightmare on Elm Street, A (1984)_ .
- Professor Knowby's dead wife is said to be in the "fruit cellar," a reference to Psycho (1960).
- Ash's chainsaw appears to switch hands in one scene. This is because Sam Raimi decided Ash should walk the opposite way across the room in that scene, so he flipped the negative.
- Often considered to be a remake of the first Evil Dead, however this is not accurate. The rights to show scenes from the original could not be obtained to re-cap what happened, so they recreated the beginning to explain how Ash got to the cabin, a headless Linda, etc.
- The recap of the previous film includes a shot where the "evil force" runs through the cabin and rams into Ash. When this shot was filmed, Bruce Campbell suffered a broken jaw when Sam Raimi (who was operating the camera) crashed into him with a bicycle.
Movie Mistakes
- Continuity: Ash chops his hand off at the wrist, yet later it is seen to have a fair amount of forearm attached to it.
- Continuity: The hand that Ash attaches the chainsaw to (the negative was reversed for one shot).
- Revealing mistakes: Various of the weapons used, including the chainsaw, the poker, and a knife, bend and wobble as though made of rubber or plastic.
- Continuity: When Ash goes into the basement to get the pages of the Necronomicon he picks up one page with the hand where his chainsaw should be.
- Audio/visual unsynchronised: When Ash's possessed hand is smashing plates on his head and punching him, his mouth isn't moving at all, yet he's groaning.
- Revealing mistakes: When Ash crashes through the front windshield of his Olds, a wire can be seen attached to his body.
- Revealing mistakes: When the "spirit" chases Ash through the house, you can see the rigging of the set where the roof should be.
- Continuity: Although it is Ash's right hand that is cut off, afterward when he goes down to the cellar to retrieve the pages of the Necronomicon, there is a scene where he picks up a page with his right hand (this may have been a flipped negative).
- Continuity: When Annie is trying to pull Jake out of the cellar door, she is sprayed with blood and her shirt and shorts soaked in the front. When she turns around, she's almost completely clean.
- Crew or equipment visible: The harness, rope and pulley that drag the character into the vortex at the end are all clearly visible.
- Crew or equipment visible: When someone's head rolls toward the camera after it has been chopped off, you can see the crew member who threw the head toward the camera in the background as he tries to hide from the camera behind a log
- Crew or equipment visible: The wires holding the flying eyeball and the wires that move the roots of the tree are visible.
- Crew or equipment visible: Set lighting can be seen on top of the corners of the porch awning in several exterior shots of the cabin.
- Continuity: Annie's clothes change in the middle of the film for no apparent reason.
- Crew or equipment visible: The lighting rig is often clearly visible above the cottage interior set.
- Continuity: The green slime on the wall and on the others disappears.
- Revealing mistakes: When the possessed Henrietta is spinning over Annie, there is a large tear in the crotch of the "Henrietta" suit.
- Miscellaneous: A white liquid dribbles out Henrietta's ear. This is Ted Raimi's sweat mixed with the white powder in the costume.
- Crew or equipment visible: You can, in several outdoor nighttime scenes, clearly see the lighting equipment (used to create the eerie glows in the woods) hanging from trees.
- Crew or equipment visible: After Ash comes out of the water, you can see a person behind him dressed in black running in the woods.
- Continuity: While Ash is fighting with his hand in the kitchen, you can see daylight through the windows above the sink. However, this scene supposedly takes place at night.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Ash and Annie are hugging just before the kitchen shelves fall, a crew member can clearly be seen in the background to the left of Annie. He moves a couple of times, trying to stay out of shot.
- Revealing mistakes: The rig that suspends Evil Ed in midair can be seen from the side; the overhead track that Henrietta swings from can be seen from the bottom view; when the severed hand is choking Ash, it's foam thumb bends backwards.
