The best in the Evil Dead series, lacking horror, but tons of laughs and exciting adventure!
I know a lot of people loved this movie but I thought it wasn't good at all, as opposed to the masterpiece evil dead and the equally great evil dead 2 that mixed top notch horror with laughs this is more of a comedy and action movie than horror
This is definately the Funniest film out the lot but not the best. But i still love it with it's quicky in your face type Humor and the brilliant blend of adventure. This film may not be scary but i like the Evil version of Ash. Before you ask there is still a Demon in it at the begining of the movie. This is ment to be the last Evil Dead but rumor has it that Raimi is making a fourth Evil Dead. So far the script is being written and is lying around in Raimi's garage waiting to be read by the Infamous Bruce campbell who returns to reprise his role as the groovy hero, Ash Williams. If you like the Evil Dead films and have seen all 3 then there is special edition Graphic Comic book in which Sam Raimi gave permission to be made and sold. The Comic focuses on the first Evil Dead film and has a little Backstory in which suits the book perfectly. This Film and all the others and the Comic are must haves for Die Hard Evil Dead fans!!! Raimi is truly a geniuse!!
A Great Cult film! Funny as Hell!!
A really fun and cheesy movie. Not so much in the same light as The Evil Dead, but still a nice installment to the trilogy.
Best one out of the series, big improvement since the first.
Groovy!
duh-bruce campbell
This movie is hella fun, and in my opinion, more enjoyable than the first two. Ash at his best! Sexy, sly, and blood splattered! I can't believe it's been sixteen years already...
worse then 'The Evil Dead' but better than 'Dead By Dawn'. it was neither scary nor bloody, but an interesting movie to watch. just a classic medieval war movie and trying to get back to nowaday times.
Hail to the King!
I was blown away the first time I saw Army of Darkness. There's nothing else like it.
This one is a classic. One of the last good movies by Bruce Campbell. Very funny and cool old school effects. Remember shop smart shop s-mart!
A perfect wrap-up for a perfect trilogy.
This movie was a heck of a lot of fun. An absolute classic.
this was a great movie. pretty funny. had me laughing throughout the whole movie. maybe not as good as evil dead or evil dead 2 but a notch below.
I was very skeptical about seeing Army of Darkness because it would tackle on a newer, outrageous direction set in the Middle Ages, but I was fooled again. This is as perfect and as brilliant as its predecessors and might even surpass the original in brilliance and creativity. It's silly, good old fashioned fun. If your looking for scares there is scarcely none, but that is nowhere near the film's intentions, it's suppose to be hilarious, goofy fun and there's nothing wrong with that. I was also impressed that usually the gore level is maximum, hence Evil Dead, but this one was low. It served the purpose that you can still make a brilliant masterpiece and still exclude gore. This is a great addition to the series and I highly recommend it to newcomers. The evil dead trilogy is easily my favorite. Great work Sam Raimi. And if you've already seen the evil dead trilogy, check out the superior Drag me to hell.
LONG LIVE BRUCE CAMPBELL!
EVIL DEAD 4... PLEASE ! ! ! !
hore_freak13 took the words right out of my mouth. Once again, bruce campbell proves that he is absolutely the epitome of MAN. i remember seeing this growing up and all i remember was the phrase boomstick and these cool skeleton warriors. sam raimi does not disappoint! another great addition :)
This is my... BOOM STICK!!! I remember this flick from when I was a young teenage boy, thinking how incredible Bruce Campbell is. Then I found out this was a 3rd movie in a trilogy of something called "evil dead???" I thought, maybe I'll have to check the rest out... and from there it became history. Bruce Campbell is THE MAN. This is one set of movies they can NEVER remake because it will NEVER live up to the originals. Evil Dead is the definition of cult classic, and here folks is one hell of a movie.
Greatest movie ever made.Citizen kane has nothing on this one.
Not as good as Evil Dead 2 but it's brilliant, Bruce Campbell at his best once again as Ash! Come on Sam Raimi, make Evil Dead 4!
Hail To The King Baby! That right hes back and pissed off as ever. Iv never laughed so hard. From beating the snot out of Deadites and demanding sugar from damsels in distress. Bruce Campbell is a cult hero. The direction for this movie and the sheer hilarity of it make it a timeless joy ride everyone should enjoy.
I'm a seriously even bothering writing a review for this? I mean it's bad ass and fucking sweet. Bruce was at the top of his game. I don't know if I could ever forgive Sam Raimi for abandoning us to make boring box office trash. Maybe Drag Me to Hell will change my mind though.
One of my favorites of all time. Bruce Campbell is the man! Great mix of horror and comedy. I can watch this one over and over again. Thanks Sam.
As far as horror movies go this movie is lacking. But if horror and bad comedy are what you are looking for then this one hits the nail right on the head. It definitely has its moments and does remain true to the original formula of some good laughs and some good ol' fashioned demon horror. This one takes the laughs side a bit too far and the laughs are not really there. I bought Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 on VHS and then later on DVD but this one won't make the collection.
"This, is my BOOMSTICK!" Oh Ash, never catching a break. Great movie, took the franchise in a different direction, added a lot more comedy without sacrificing what made Evil Dead good. Still got the gore, the deadites, the chain saw, and of course, the boomstick. Bruce Campbell doesn't get nearly enough of the credit he deserves, the man is a great actor.
awsome 3rd installment in the series very funny,and once again campbell is king!
Should be hung next to the MONA LISA as a work of art. Most quotable movie ever?.
Army of Darkness is a classic film. It may not be as great as Evil Dead II, as it sacrifices some scares for more laughs, but it's an astounding piece of art nonetheless. One cannot call himself (or herself) a horror film fan without seeing this movie. It's a must-see, and deserves more than the 3.5 skulls it received on this website. Watch it now!
simply good... nice effects for 93 .. and it was the best starting and ending in the fucking trilogy...shame that he becoms old in this virsion but so scary look
"Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up", see this...this is my review of this film... Nothing but fondness for this flick. A staple on a weekend horror-night with my friend back in the ol' highschool years!!! Great stuff!!! A kick-ass p-corn flick!!!! Quotes a plenty in this little gem!!! "Groovy"!!!
Awesome. Please Bruce, EVIL DEAD 4!
Classic movie, one that can be watched time and again.
great! with rare exeption bruce campbell has never made a bad film(i.e. alien apocalypse, man with two brains). not near as gory as the first two evil dead films, but just as fun. the chainsaw hand is one of the coolest props ever. cool monsters too. great fun.
Fun entertainment and a cool horror film from the third entry in the evil dead series, this and part 2 are my favorites of the 3, this one was cool in where it took place at. ash is a fun character and bruce campbell obviously has a blast in these movies. he fits perfectly in this character
Hail to the king baby. The best damn movie ever made Horror or not. It rocks my socks. I give Bruce Campbell vs The Army of Darkness 10 Deadites out of 10 Deadites. Remember folks....Shop Smart...Shop S-MART..!
"Ash is back, literally. Trapped back in the middle ages, the Evil Dead hero must not only do battle once again with the merciless deadites, he must also take on the savage Army of Darkness. Bruce Campbell returns as Ash, the only surviving member of the first two Evil Dead movies. This story pretty much takes up where the last one left off, with our hero trapped in the dark ages. Only instead of being revered as a hero, Ash is beaten and shackled by an army of men who believe him to be a member of a rival army. Quickly Ash is put to the test by once again doing battle with an evil deadite when the army throws him in to a pit. However, what they didn't expect was for Ash to defeat the deadite, which he does, and thus they render him a salvation. Our hero is then brought back to their town, and asked to journey out in search of the illustrious Necronomicon, so the evil can be destroyed once and for all. Reluctantly he agrees, but just like Ash, instead of finding the book and destroying the evil, he finds the book and not only creates an evil Ash, but an entire army of undead skeletons. Now the real battle begins and it's up to the living to stop the dead. Army of Darkness stars the excellent Bruce Campbell in the role that was tailor made for him, and once again, he does his job perfectly. Watching the punishment this poor man takes is really a reason to rent this movie in itself. He is really the main focus, and there isn't a lot of screen time for anyone else, except for Ash's maiden love interest played by Embeth Davidtz. But to the fans of these films ,I'm sure that's just the way they like it. Also returning is Sam Raimi the director/writer who has carved his name in Hollywood with these movies. This is a great re-telling of sorts of the Jason and the Argonauts story, only with a little more schlock, however in some scenes, like the skeletons giving Ash three stooges treatment, there is a little too much schlock. Don't get me wrong though, the film is funny and does have some great one-liners, such as Ash introducing his sawed off shotgun as his "boomstick", and calling some of the men "primitive screw-heads". The effects are great, and the direction is superb, especially scenes of the Army of Darkness riding horseback and attacking the castle. However, being a huge fan of zombie movies, I was hopping to see a few more deadites and a few less skeletons. Although I know Raimi did this on purpose so he could put a different spin on his story and keep it original. Of special note, on DVD there is the actual original ending that was not shown in theatres. It's a great ending that keeps a little more in tow with the story, and does an interesting job of setting itself up for a sequel. Raimi, producer Rob Tapert, and co-writer Ivan Raimi, do a good job of putting this film together, and it is a lot of fun to watch. Although not as serious and as gory as the first two, this third installment definitely makes me thirst for another sequel. I do hope, however, that they go back to the style of the original films, cutting out a little of that schlock, and adding in a few more chills. So if you're in the mood for a horror trilogy, check out the first two Evil Dead movies and then get ready to take on the Army of Darkness." -- JohnnyPhoenix (Johnnyvolume555@hotmail.com), imdb.com
This was by far, the best Evil Dead movie out of the trilogy. Very quarky, funny, gory, and just plain awesome.
it was really good
If you haven't seen the Evil Dead trilogy I feel sorry for you.
Hail to the King Baby!
this is a comedy no doubt about it, but with demons and set in the past. Really fun to watch but don't plan to be scared. enjoy bruce campbell fans.
Really good! One of my favorites as a kid.
This movie is a classic. Plain and simple. The cult following is huge, and it is just loved by all. And for good reason. This movie is what I like to call "slapstick horror". You have unique camera angles, funny blood-squirting, and funny dialogue. It isn't meant to scare you, it is meant to entertain you. Blood squirting isn't meant to gross you out, it is meant to be funny. And it is. This movie is a sequal to Evil Dead 2, where ash uses the Necronomicon, but ends in medieval Europe, hailed as the savior of the people from the "deadites", which are pretty much the same monsters from the other movies. The story may seem a little odd, but that doesn't stop it from being good. I think the best part is when he screws up the magic words for claiming the Necronomicon (they were the ones from "The Day the Earth Stood Still") and releases all havoc on the land. This movie is extremely enjoyable, and is, in my opinion, one of the funniest horror movies ever. It is too bad Bruce Campbell is regarded as a B-actor because I thought he was great here. Overall, I would say rent it. You'll be glad you did. |
