Editors' Picks: Not-So-Scary Movies For Scaredy Cats15 of 17
Evil Dead II | Available for rent on VOD
Plot: Ash and Linda's romantic weekend turns into a doomsday scenario when the artifacts they discover from their cabin's previous tenants unleash an evil force from the Book of the Dead.
Our Take: This beloved horror sequel might make you never want to go into the basement again, but Bruce Campbell's legendary performance, a feat of character acting and physical comedy, will keep you in good spirits. Plus Sam Raimi's low-budget, high-return filmmaking panache set a genre standard that remains more than 30 years after the second coming of Ash Williams. — Arno
