Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

bowmanblue '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.

morrison-dylan-fan Only having three titles by Dario Argento left to see (I ended up picking Phantom of the Opera,which apart from the continuing of a few themes was a missed opportunity for Dario) I decided to go for another movie to watch as a double bill on my 31st birthday. Receiving the complete set from very kind fellow IMDber Red-Barracuda,I decided that it was the perfect time to see the evil dead rise again.View on the film:Revving back to life after a five year gap, co-writer/(with brother Ivan) director Sam Rami & The Matrix cinematographer Bill Pope transfer the free-flowing ultra-stylisation of the first two onto a much larger canvas,with the extended,rapid-fire tracking shots of the first films morphing into explosive battle scenes that spin flying first-person shots across the sky towards their targets. Taking the series in a more open Fantasy/Ray Harryhausen-inspired direction,Rami tones down the gory horror shocks for playful Slap-Stick Horror (!) that ties Ash into Gulliver's Travels,and the Medieval setting allowing Rami to use Harryhausen-style stop-motion animation to bring an army of darkness back from the evil dead. Sending Ash's 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 into Medieval times, the screenplay by the Rami's chop their lone hero into a fish out of water adventure,where Ash's off the cuff one-liners leads to very funny gruff exchanges with the knights. Whilst less focused on the horror element,the writers do well twisting the Adventure tale into the Horror genre,as Ash is sent as a man on a mission to retrieve The Book of the Dead,and a surprising dip into Sci-Fi ends the trilogy on an excellent chilling note. Picking up the chainsaw again, Bruce Campbell gives a hyper-active performance as Ash,who leaps into action to take on the evil dead's army of darkness.

jerralagbayani Meet Bruce Campbell yet again in an Evil Dead sequel where this time, time turns back. Ash awakens in 1300ad and is believed by the kingdom to be their savior from the deadites. In order to end their suffering Ash must retrieve the necronomicon from a cemetery just beyond the castle. This movie is a well carried story that really turns the tables on the series and brings Ash at his finest. There's almost nothing boring about the film and can be watched over and over again unlike movies such as Incarnate, 47 Meters Down, or The Grudge. This movie is appropriate for almost all ages(there is one minor scene) and is a all time classic.

thiszizlife As a fan of the first two films, which introduced me to Bruce Campbell. I can say this third installment is a worthy follow up. The pit scene and Sam Raimi's name, you can't go wrong. The artwork put into a film of this caliber is fantastic. The humor of the onlookers, the spirit, and everything seems to all be there. And you are cheering Ash on with the crowd as he is fighting like a gladiator. The book of the dead, the Necronomicon is the basis of the whole film. You destroy that book and Ash would never even be in this mess. He just wants his life back. Though this film is "S-Smart." And it is a win! A lot of points earned for the epic battle with the "deadites." If anyone has read the book the "Swan Song" by Robert R. McCammon, you know what I'm talking about. Though this is kind of like referencing the parking lot when everybody is butting heads, it does its own thing. I am for Raimi's artistic direction and all, but things spin out of control as far as is direction. This needed to be explained to me. How Ash managed to fix his car that dropped from the sky, and then had time to turn it into a battle rig, is beyond me. Some things like this make no sense. I understand this took a while to orchestrate, or at least it looks that way, but the deadites are already dead. Why on earth would they be needing wooden shield roll-aways? they are "bags of bones." Anyhow, I will say this is a very original work and Sheila is a hoot. There are parts that suggest an admiration for Brian de Palma's "Carrie, 1976" involving her. Sheila "got real ugly" when she copies Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) standing in front of Ashes car. This was really my only complaint. Raimi could of thought of something better for this shot, something more original. The only difference from Carrie using her powers is Ash abandons his vessel. So she just woke up one day and was a crazed strung-out possessed zombie? Oh well, still cool. Good resolve at the end by Raimi, bringing us back to the main objective of the whole film, the book. My final thought is the whole film could be in Ashes imagination as he is working. And then he wakes up in his bed, and realizes it's all a dream. The score was interesting and I think anyone who is a fan of Steven Spielberg's, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, or Tim Burton's, A Nightmare Before Christmas will appreciate this.
