Very disappointing...

Such a frustrating disappointment

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is an excellent film with a few holes. Probably the second best in the series but lacks a little horror that made the first two so great. This is more an action film than anything else. It would have been better as a horror action with some comedy. This is very funny with one scare element and really is enjoyable but this enjoyment is aimed at a wider market and tragically suffers a little for it. A definite must for fans of the first two. Enjoy this classic early action from Sam Raimi - a precursor to Spider-Man? This is pure silliness and I love it! The sets look small and the action is tame but the comedy and the Bruce of it make it excellent.

'Evil Dead.' The original 'video nasty.' 'Evil Dead II.' The half sequel, half remake, three quarters reboot of the original 'video nasty.' 'Army of Darkness.' The sequel to one ending of the remake of 'Evil Dead' which sort of follows on, but also kind of creates a new continuity which then gets erased depending on which version you watch and then how you interpret what follows in 'Ash vs The Evil Dead.' Confused yet? It doesn't matter. Basically, if you're a fan of cheesy horror-comedies (or just love Bruce Campbell as much as I do) then you'll have a blast with 'Army of Darkness.' Despite 'The Evil Dead' franchise's 'liberal' attitude to continuity, no one seems to care. That's probably because its fan-base is just so damn loyal that they forgive these frequent lapses in story-telling and simply enjoy the films (and now TV show) for what they are - dumb, silly - and very, very gory - fun.'Army of Darkness' carries on this tradition. Yes, you probably should have watched at least 'Evil Dead II,' but this (sort of) third instalment will hardly punish you for not knowing its entire back story. Basically, a man gets trapped in medieval times and has to fight his way back to the present. However, it just so happens that the man in question has just so happened to have a lot of experience in slaying disgusting monsters and manages to do it without the use of a hand and an array of dry quips (and a shotgun - that comes in pretty handy, too). Yes, it's none other than 'Ash,' played effortlessly by Bruce Campbell.If you've never heard of Ash/Bruce Campbell, it's actually quite hard to tell where one ends and the other begins (assuming they're different people to begin with). He's certainly not your average hero. He's definitely not politically correct and fits perfectly with the whole 'Evil Dead' feel of gore and gags. It never takes itself seriously and delights in spraying more unnecessary pints of blood all over the screen for as long as possible (most of which ends up on Bruce one way or another!).I suppose if you're completely used to 'modern horror' and like your films 'dark, gritty and realistic' then you may hate 'Army of Darkness' (and the whole 'Evil Dead' vibe). The special effects are pretty cheap-looking (not much computer-generated effects here, mainly blue screen and practical effects). It's hardly scary, choosing self-knowingness over true horror. But it certainly is disgusting. And great fun. There's a reason why the 'Evil Dead' films have stood the test of time (and why its dark and gritty remake of 2013 is barely worth talking about). 'Army of Darkness' is a shining example of a great film that can be made without the need for a massive budget (although, compared to the original 'Evil Dead's' budget, I guess 'Army of Darkness' was 'expensive!'Hail to the king of B-movies and the whole 'Evil Dead' franchise.

A book awakens evil forces and sends Bruce Campbell into a magical past resembling Highlander medieval times with Scottish people. Just before sending him to this other realm, the book which is alive enters into his body and Bruce must chop off his hand with a handy-dandy chainsaw. He then puts the chainsaw in place of his right hand. In the other realm, he is captured by soldiers wearing English knight armor and Renaissance uniforms. At their castle the soldiers all throw Bruce into a pit where he kills a zombie. Even though they confiscated his chainsaw, he recovers it from a sorcerer who throws it in there so that he does not die. The magical sorcerer also lobbed Bruce's shotgun below. He releases the other prisoners who were about to be throw in the pit after him. With the shotgun he makes the rules now! So, basically, he is King in this realm because of his technology. Fortunately, his car was sent with him as well. He uses it in the final battle against the forces of Evil, the Evil Dead Army. Bruce Campbell's character fights witches and skeletons along the way.

Great third splatter film of the evil dead series, which also stars Bruce Campbell, which is also directed by Sam Raimi. Like the second splatter film of the evil dead series, this is another horror comedy. This is the most comedic movie of the three movie series. A must see! Watch the television series, called Ash Vs. Evil Dead! All of this is great movie stuff!
