A Clever Blend of Action, Humor, and Horror

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2000)

Army of Darkness is the 2nd film i will be reviewing for my special October Halloween Special. Now, i've never seen the previous Evil Dead movies but if this one is any indication i'm sure that i will enjoy them. This is a prime example of the B movie done right. It is able to coherently balance humor, action, and horror.
First off Bruce Campbell makes this film. I love the character Ash. He's the ultimate bad #ss. To fans of the Evil dead series he has become a solid part of all 3 films success. He's extremely good here and he is quite funny as well.
The effects, especially the skeleton war towards the end, are really bad but they are extrememly funny to watch. Classic B movie effects that was most likely done on purpose. The Creatures that appear in the movie are very good make-up wise. very good make up design.
army of Darkness as well as the other evil dead movies didn't really fair well in theatres but once they got on video they really started a cult following. Fans have remained loyal to the series as whole and i look forward to seeing the first 2 because Army of Darkness rocked the house. 8/10
