Turned me off the series.

Rating: 3/10 (11 July 2001)

Having heard so much of the Evid Dead Trilogy, and liking Cambell I decided to watch the trilogy. I had seen parts of Army of Darkness, but wasn't sure what I thought.
After watching the first movie I was enthralled. With very minimal effects and budget they made a great horror movie. Best of all, the good guys all die!
The second... well, even Bruce once said that they went the wrong direction with it and it didn't work. Instead of a horror, we're given a slapstick comedy. Scenes seems to happen because they wanted to, and it's UNfunny.
What a waste. My wife was interested in seeing this movie becaused she was suprised how good the first was, but she left after 10 minutes, and I finished it. After it was done I had NO intention of watching the third movie because from the little I saw it was done in the same style.
If you like the first one, that bears nothing on the second. They are compeletly different styles of movies.
I can't really make a recomondation because some like it, some don't. You won't know until you try. But, if you like Army of Darkness, you'll like Evil Dead II, and visa versa.
