Campbell is still superb#of course and Ash is still very baby girl. but he and Raimi are mostly going for straight laughs instead of uncomfortable giggles#the laughing scene in ED2 is the perfect Moment of these films: an absolute nailing of the blend of disturbing uncanny with absurd ott goof#i missed that blend a little. still a great time like i say and still a worthy third film in an unlikely triumph of an indie trilogy
