I'm a big fan of the "Evil Dead" films and have always liked Joe LoDuca's score.
This one has some of his best work and you hear most of it in the movie, but
it's great to hear it all on this cd. I recommend this.

This album cements my position that Joseph Lo Duca is the most underappreciated and underutililized composer/conductor in Hollywood. The score is brilliant, however, incomplete. It lacks those heroic strings when Ash transforms himself into the Evil Dead Warrior and climbs out of the fruit cellar to battle Henrietta and save Annie. Seeing as how these strings round out Ash's journey, symbolize his transformation as a character, and add to the epic quality of the Evil Dead films, I am stunned that they are not included on this album. Disappointing. Buyer beware.

The score to Evil Dead 2 is as fun and scary as the film it self. A little short, running only 34 min. , but still a must have for any film score library. Hearing this score brings back fond memories of an excellent piece of work.
