THE Action/Horror/Comedy of the 90's.!

Rating: Null/10 (28 October 1999)

I think that what make this film, and its two preceding films so amazing is the character Ash. Never has there been such an obscene depth of character. He goes form the depths of cowardice to the heights of heroism. You go from loathing him to loving him. From groaning to gleeful. Aside from Indiana Jones and Ferris Bueller there is no better person to take on any situation than Ash and I think that is why he is so lovable. He has the dumb luck that Jones has and then the smugness of Ferris.
Well the movie may have doomed Raimi's career. It is by no means a studio picture and he was forced to cut some 15 minutes and shoot an alternate ending. It's about the closest thing to Big Trouble in Little China we've seen in a while (also you should check out Brainsmasher a Love Story). But he was back with Quick and the Dead (which was a delightful intertwining of two cliche western story lines to produce something quite original). Oscar contender Simple Plan and now For Love of the Game. Is this all a ruse to lure the studios into funding Evil Dead 4? We all hope so.
If you like larger than life characters who kill everything, get chicks and have really awesome lines(John McClaine working at S-Mart) the you love AOD.
You should have seen it already!
