Directed by: Sam Raimi Written by: Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi Starring: Bruce Campbell & Embeth Davidtz What the box says: Bound in human flesh, inked in blood, and amazingly hard to pronounce, the ancient Necronomicon, or Book of the Dead, unleashes unspeakable evil upon mankind in director Sam Raimi's outrageously hilarious sword-and-sorcery epic. Back to do battle with the hideous "Deadites," Bruce Campbell reprises his role from The Evil Dead series as Ash, the handsome, shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed department store clerk from S-Mart's housewares division. Demonic forces time-warp him - and his '73 Oldsmobile - into England's Dark Ages, where he romances a beauty (Embeth Davidtz) and faces legions of un-dead beasts, including a ghastly army of skeletons. Can Ash save the living from the evil dead, rescue his girlfriend, and get back to his own time? Overflowing with spectacular special effects, Army of Darkness will make you scream with fear and laughter. Brent's Note: While this movie is technically the third movie of The Evil Dead trilogy of films, it is definitely not necessary that you see the first Evil Dead and you won't be lost if you don't see Evil Dead 2 either. This movie is intentionally very silly & stupid and is a lot of fun if you don't take it too seriously. |
