WOW

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 1999)

I saw the series in reverse... AoD then DBD then the original. The movies just got funnier. Evil Dead 1 was just a B Grade Horror movie, but in Evil Dead 2 Dead by Dawn, you could tell that the tongue was firmly in cheek. I consider this to be the original because I didn't get what the 'Thing in the woods' was until I saw Evil Dead 2.
Army of Darkness has all the qualities of a cult classic, and is easily one of my favourite movies of all time. The way that Bruce Campbell plays Ash is outstanding. He is like a cartoon character in the way he expresses his emotions and his one-liners are superb.
Not only did this movie inspire the game Duke Nukem 3D it inspired Doom, after all it was Ash who was the first guy to run around killing zombies with a chainsaw, shotgun and sheer coolness.
