Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 2 (2017)

More Colourful, More Gory, More Monsters 

Galore-y!

That's about the level of the appalling one-liners uttered by Ash (Bruce Campbell) in the gleefully knockabout, extremely splattery, and frequently low brow humour-y second season of ASH VS EVIL DEAD, now getting a DVD & Blu-ray release from Starz.

Ash, Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) are living it up in Jacksonville, Florida after the truce called with sexy villain Ruby (Lucy Lawless) at the end of season one. It doesn't last long, however, and this being Sam Raimi's universe that means about thirty seconds before Ruby's 'children' turn on her and try and get the Necronomicon.

She calls on Ash and his friends for help and no sooner than you can say 'The Deadites Are Coming" off we go on another cheery (seriously) splatterthon laced with a degree of innuendo and scatalogical humour that feels less Three Stooges this time and more Carry On Evil Dead. 

If you like that, plus frenetic pacing and gallons of blood, then ASH VS EVIL DEAD will absolutely be your thing. Every episode leaves you breathless and the Blu-ray will have you rubbing your eyes at the eye-popping colour palette. The actors all seem to be having a blast and there's the same sense of outrageously gory fun that the first season managed to maintain. 

There are also plenty of surprises along the way in the form of neat casting choices, returning characters, clips from the original EVIL DEAD & EVIL DEAD 2, and Joseph LoDuca is doing the music again so fans can once again have fun spotting musical quotes from those two pictures as well. 

Starz's two-disc set contain all ten episodes. You also get commentary tracks on selected episodes - the first two have Campbell, Lawless, Santiago and DeLorenzo, the third Rob Tapert, Lawless and DeLorenzo. Three more episodes on disc two get commentaries.

You also get eight featurettes, including Women Who Kick Ash, Up Your Ash (a touch of the Frankie Howerds there, methinks), Dawn of the Spawn, How to Kill a Deadite and others, the titles of which might be spoilers so I'll leave you to discover them. 

ASH VS EVIL DEAD Season 2 is out now on Blu-ray and DVD from Starz.
