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

This is my BOOM stick! If you haven't seen any of the evil dead or army of darkness i feel sorry for you. This cult classic is well worth owning.
 The 3,000 Stooges gone medieval March 7, 2010
The Concise Critic: (New England)
Silly--which is not to say bad--American fluff. The Army of the Dead (really skeletons of The Three (thousand) Stooges complete with eye-pokes and other Stooge slapstick) try to defeat the medieval forces of good. They are doomed, of course, because those forces are led by a handsome American stud whose face is cut just right and who happens to have, in these middle ages, a durable chainsaw, a big gun, and a hot car. Charms the chastity belt right off the castle hottie and slaps the smiles right on the open-minded film viewer.

Let me start by saying that I love this movie - I am not rating the movie itself poorly. Trying to watch the Blu Ray 'Screwhead Edition' gives me a headache, though. Didn't anyone watch this oversharpened mess before they published it? It's as if they turned the contrast all of the way up, and called it good. Chainmail alternately disappears, and blinds as every link become a brilliant shining white - Same with BC's hair, sometimes it's dark, other times it looks white. Occasionally the picture gets so grainy that if you didn't know better, you'd think that it was a stylized flashback scene. I'm sorry I put out the extra money to buy this version - my regular old school dvd (and honestly, even my vhs version) look better than this. It's a trick, get an axe!
