Description of Army of Darkness:
A movie that only true horror buffs could love, Army of Darkness is officially part 3 in the wild and wacky Evil Dead trilogy masterminded by the perversely inventive director Sam Raimi, who would later serve as executive producer of the popular syndicated TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Raimi's favorite actor, Bruce Campbell, returns as Ash (hero of the first two Evil Dead flicks), a hardware-store clerk who is magically transported--along with his beat-up Oldsmobile and a chainsaw attachment for his severed left forearm--to the brutal battlefields of the 14th century. He quickly assumes power (who else in the Middle Ages packs a shotgun and a chainsaw?), and unites his band of medieval knights against the dreaded Army of the Dead. Raimi gleefully subverts almost every horror-movie cliché as he serves up a nonstop parade of blood, gore, and vicious sword-bearing skeletons--an affectionate homage to animator Ray Harryhausen's classic Jason and the Argonauts. The frantic action is fun while it lasts, but even at 80 minutes Army of Darkness nearly wears out its welcome. You know that Raimi can maintain the mayhem for only so long before it grows tiresome, and fortunately this madcap movie quits while it's ahead. --Jeff Shannon
Army of Darkness Reviews:
Great movie 
2009-11-04 - I ordered this movie because it is a great comedy... didn't realize that there are 2 movies before this one, but it goes well by itself too. I got my order pretty quickly and it was in great condition!
If Evil Dead 1 and 2 were pointless. 
2009-11-01 - if Evil Dead 1 & 2 were pointless blood fests of carnage, then this is pointless and not scary nor funny Period. The 3rd/final Installment (thank god) is the worst of the worst. your a fan of the trilogy perhaps it appeals to you, this is just my opinion with all due respect.
Do not Buy this Movie
2009-11-01 - This movie is just plain stupid. Terrible plot and bad acting. This is the big budget take on this series?
It figures. Just avoid it.
Be sure to take your BOOMSTICK with ya!
2009-10-27 - In this third (and probably final) installment of the Evil Dead series, not only do we see a drastic change in scenery (Medieval England instead of American woods), we also see much less graphic content. You don't have internal organs bursting out of human bodies, but living skeletons on fire and breaking apart. There is only a minimal amount of gore, and the black and slapstick humor takes over. But is that necessarily a bad thing? Of course, not. Even though the film has an overall different style, it still has that same sort of wicked charm that the first two film brought out. Plus, you still have Bruce Campbell as the main character, so it's bound to be bad@** throughout. Again, this isn't as violent and daring as the first two Evil Dead films, but it's still very entertaining to watch. I'd give this an A-.
The perfect guy flick! 
2009-10-19 - Bruce Campbell at his best. How cool can it be for an egotistical trailer park red neck to end up in the Middle Ages with a chain saw for an arm? This is a B movie for sure, but you can't stop watching it. The verbal come backs from Bruce are just too funny. Send the wife away and settle down with a 6-pack. You'll love it! I don't see any differences with the screwhead edition, but it doesn't matter, its HiDef!
