If you loved Evil Dead II, try Crimewave

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Crimewave has roughly 21.0× fewer votes than Evil Dead II — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Sam Raimi, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Evil Dead II, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

playful

What Crimewave is

Detroit. Perpetual night. A ringing telephone. Two exterminator-contract killers eliminate their boss, then terrorize his beautiful widow. One hapless security tech gets framed for the crimes. Raimi's only outright flop deserves rediscovery.
