The second film in the Evil Dead trilogy is part horror, part comedy, with Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) as the lone survivor of an onslaught of flesh-possessing demons. At a secluded cabin in the woods, Ash and his girlfriend, Linda (Denise Bixler), discover the Sumerian Book of the Dead, a ritual dagger, and a reel-to-reel tape containing a translation of the book's hieroglyphics. The incantations on the tape summon an unseen, growling spirit from within the woods, which bursts into the cabin and takes possession of his Linda's soul. Cut off from the outside world, Ash soon discovers there is no escaping the woods.
