Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2003)

Well, the Evil Dead trilogy started off as a genuinely terrifying experimental film from director Sam Raimi and pal Bruce Campbell and soon became so much more. Now it has descended into a farce, a farce that had me laughing so hard I had trouble breathing. From the title "Bruce Campbell vs Army of Darkness", you can tell what kind of movie you're in for. The skeleton army looks ridiculous and the special effects used were the worst I've seen in decades, and this whogivesacrap attitude about the whole movie is what makes it work. And then there's Bruce Campbell, the man with the greatest jaw in Hollywood. After watching this film, I pulled down my poster of Kurt Cobain and put up Bruce Campbell and that ridiculous poster with Embeth Davidtz and the skeletons. A damn fine flick.
