don’t know what it was about evil dead and evil dead 2 that made sam raimi look back at them and decide the only logical conclusion to the trilogy was to send ash to 1300 AD to fight a skeleton army but i absolutely love where his mind was at
ciaraProbably my favorite of Raimi's trilogy because the main character is at his most entertaining here, and while I find this one's insane tonal whiplash and absurd out-of-nowhere concepts to be utterly at odds with the previous two films, they're silly and distinct and…

kaye 🌀Apr 6, 2022Nobody moved a camera like ’90s Sam Raimi. You could teach an entire class on visual storytelling on just what Raimi does here in the first 20 minutes. The pans, shifts, zooms, and dollies; they’re wild and frenetic but they’re also totally clear and completely in the…

˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗Mar 30, 2022Okay I knew that Evil Dead 2 turns the franchise into a comedic thing but I have only seen the first Evil Dead and the remake so I didn’t know the TONE of comedy that this would be… boy, was i in for a shock. Absolute blast of a movie, weirdly very scary at parts and then…

- Chief Saqif is "meh" onArmy of Darkness
foo went from a supermarket worker to maximus decimus meridius
Jeff The Epic likedArmy of DarknessWhile feeling like a total departure from the series’ horror roots, this movie still maintains it’s signature violent slapstick comedy, but cranks up the humor. This movie doesn’t take itself too seriously, but I sometimes wished it would taken itself a bit more seriously.
Cam lovedArmy of Darkness1st time watching this was 15+ years ago and I didn’t even know wtf was going on. All I remembered was a man with a chainsaw arm fighting skeletons and deadites. Fast forward now I can fully grasp how goated this film really is. The intro was amazing, fully capped both Evil Dead 1 & 2 very well as…
- the one and only lovedArmy of Darkness
i really enjoyed it, i don’t like how they can’t get the rights for the previous movies and always has to do a remake kinda in the beginning super iconic lines and pretty funny parts. i watched the directors cut and the different ending was pretty nice, i would like to see something based upon that…
Brandon Kelly is "meh" onArmy of DarknessA gloriously campy fantasy adventure that feels like Evil Dead II collided with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Bruce Campbell is at his absolute best, delivering absurd humor, over-the-top antics, and an endlessly entertaining take on Ash’s journey. While it’s a blast as an adventure and a…
Cinemutt is "meh" onArmy of DarknessSome parts are awesome & hilarious, & others are the weirdest and cheesiest thing I’ve ever seen. Definitely fun but I wish there was more to it. Bruce Campbell was awesome & I 🫶 the concept but idk it was just alright. Maybe I needed context but I don’t think it would’ve helped.
- Jojo is "meh" onArmy of Darkness
I’m conflicted about this movie, I thought I would like it more. The goofiness is fun at times other times I’m a little done with it, ash was smart in the first few films now he’s like a dumbass…there was a lot of points where the movie just lost me. A fun setting though 5/10 🏰
Thebluemonkey69 lovedArmy of DarknessIf the 1st is too boring to be great and the 2nd is a balance between comedy and horror. This film the opposite of the first one want campy and ridiculous and I enjoy the camp up to a point then it stops being fun. Evil dead 2 is by far the best of this trilogy this is 2nd 8.5/10
Re-Animated Corpse likedArmy of DarknessThe plot for this one, in my opinion, felt more constant than the last one! I will say the is one and the last one are definitely around the same level of enjoyment BUT I enjoyed this one way more! I love the slapstick, love the fights, even if it’s not as scary as the others :DD

USER SCORE (247)
Universal acclaim based on 247 Reviews
Taken on its own terms, Army of Darkness displays some ambition and wit, though not nearly enough to lend it broad appeal.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
A poor man's Excalibur, but the fact of the matter is that the film displays far too little of the incisor-sharp wit and out-of-control mayhem readily available in the other two films. It just doesn't work.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
No matter what your opinion is of the movie, you're unlikely to be bored.
