No Horror, But A Decent Action Comedy Lies Somewhere Around Here.

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2014)

In many ways "Army of Darkness" can appeal to just about anyone. I'd be lying if I said I wanted to see another cabin in the woods movie from this series, but I can't help but find myself wishing they incorporated just a little more horror into this one. Continuing from "Evil Dead 2" (1987), Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) was sent back in time and now remains trapped in the Middle Ages. He must continue to battle the "deadites", and find a way to return to the present.
The character Ash is now fully developed. Equipped with his signature chainsaw and shotgun ("Boom-Stick"), are these tools and his priceless one liners going to be enough to fight off a legion of the undead? It should also be mentioned that later on Bruce Campbell perfects his performance, by playing Ash's evil demonic clone to hilariously new levels of comedy. In some ways the monster designs are also better with flying demons and graveyard scenarios that feel warm and familiar. Explosions are plenty, as well as a final epic battle to bring this trilogy to a close. This film somewhat succeeds with it's larger production, but feels like it should give more considering it's predecessors freedoms. If this wasn't rated "R", I could only imagine what Sam Raimi mannerism's would make it into the picture.
Final Verdict: Sam Raimi & Bruce Campbell perfect "The Evil Dead" trilogy with a great send off. 7.5/10.
