Should have been called The Midevil Dead!

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2006)

Sam Raimi's third entry in the Evil Dead series is this cool combination of his wild humor and action.
After the chaos of Evil Dead II, Ash has been hurled back into the dark ages where he must once again battle the evil dead as a knight.
Perhaps the most hilariously over-the-top of Raimi's horror comedies, Army of Darkness is a truly unique and ever-entertaining oddity. Raimi keeps to his beloved slap-stick comedy through out the film, giving us plenty of gruesomeness and laughs to go with it! There's lots of well-directed action and inventive camera work to keep the excitement high. The special FX are fairly well-done, such memorable creations as the 'split' personality of Ash, the aggressive necronomicon, and the army of skeletons.
Bruce Campbell returns as Ash, and shows off his heroic macho side, while he does plenty of the great physical comedy. The attack of the 'little Ashes' is especially funny.
As with Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness is another weird, yet truly fun laugh riot that must be seen!
