Terminator meets King Arthur

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2010)

This movie is part of the Evil Dead series of films directed by Sam Raimi. There is Evil Dead 1 and 2, followed by Army of Darkness. However you can watch Army of Darkness without having seen the first 2 movies, it's pretty independent from its predecessors. If you've seen Evil Dead, don't expect the same tonality from this movie, it's a whole different style. This is a funny horror movie with lots of hilarious situations and Jim Carrie style of acting (in fact I think Jim Carrey got his inspiration from Bruce Campbell). There are awesome lines that remind me a lot of Terminator and the action could be described as "Terminator at the court of King Arthur". The movie does not take itself seriously, the actors and director clearly enjoyed filming it, and there is a very laid back and relaxed feeling transmitted throughout. I laughed my head off and it's great to watch with friends. 7/10
