Evil dead 2 opening analysis


At the begining of Evil dead they are telling a story about a 'book of the dead'. You no by this that the book is going to be the main part of the story. Their is only slow music when the titles are being displayed and at the begining, when their is a narrator telling us the story about the book. They show a location shot, which shows the cottage. This cottage is all on its own. Their is only two people in the story so far and one of them is unsure about staying their. This immediatly makes you feel uncomfortable about whats going to happen next. Then one of the characters finds a tape recorder, and starts to play whats on it. Then when the tape is playing you get flashbacks of the story from the tape. In the flashback you see that they find the book that was being talked about at the begining, from this you no that something bad is going to happen or has already happend and its going to unravel.
Whilst the tape is playing it cuts to someone or something coming towards the cottage. But you no that its not a good thing as its from their point of veiw and their breathing really heavily. But from this they have used the handheld camera effect, and their have added scary music when you see them walking fast towards the cottage. It then shows the women being possed and evil and starts to attack the man. He kills her and then buries her in the garden, and puts a giant cross made of sticks over where he had buried her. Then it shows it on the creature going really fast towards the cottage again throught the house and out towards the man. It then attacks the man and takes him through the sky untill he hits a tree. He then falls in a puddle of muddy water. When he lifts his head out of the water he is also possesed. But when the sun comes out he holds his hand towards his face and screams, you then see smoke dissapering. He then stands up and looks around. It then cuts to the cottage, and the demon/creature starts talking, so you no now that the house is evil, and not to go in their. This opening scene shows the story unfolding already. It really draws you into it as you want to no whats going to happen to the only character left alive.
