You'll laugh, you'll cryyou'll be terrified. (OK, a little far)

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2002)

The two preceding `Evil Dead' movies were good but they lacked the lightweight humor, slapstick, and camp of the closing third.

Ash, brought back in time to the Middle Ages, lands in the middle of a war and is taken prisoner for being part of the opposite side. Unfortunately he still has to deal with those evil spirits that possess human bodies. But armed with a chainsaw, a car full of supplies and one trash-talking mouth, these satanic schmucks are nothing the blade can't handle, even when they make a doppelganger of him. Eventually you'll have no problem telling the difference between the good Ash and bad Ash. Goodie goodie two shoesgood goodie one ugly motherf###er.
`Darkness' lacks the splatter, unpleasantness, and other fun stuff the earlier installments were so known for, but it succeeds by being much more accessible...and enjoyable.
