Movie Reviews of Army of Darkness

Movie Review: Army of Darkness
Summary: 4 Stars

Sam Raimi's third installment to the Evil Dead franchise is bigger in scale. Obviously the bigger budget was an improvement needed from some of the cheesy effects used in the last two films. The same stylized cinematography remains in this film. But this film is differs from the other two. The first one is pure horror/gore film. The second although gory, was more of a stale spoof. This one takes the glory of the first film, and at moments where the second failed and succeeded.

Army of Darkness is a great clash of horror and comedy. And is recommended for fans of the franchise, Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and even those who are fans of Tales of the Crypt. This version of the DVD includes both the Director's Cut and the Theatrical Cut. Even though the Director's Cut contains footage that was not either digitally re-mastered, or on that matter, fully processed from the original master, it is still interesting to see what didn't make in the original cut.

This is definitely recommended for any fans of the Evil Dead series

Summary of Army of Darkness

This campy tongue-in-cheek take on the sword-and-sorcery genre with its amaxing f/x will make you scream with fear and laughter. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Bruce Campbell Bruce Thomas Run time: 81 minutes Rating: R Director: Sam Raimi
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 clich? 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
