Review of Army of Darkness (1992) by Julian E — 26 Jun 2013

Picking up where Evil Dead 2 left off, Ash finds himself trapped in the Middle Ages, still fighting it out with the undead. This film is a slapstick comedy gem. The only 'horror' element to it is the undead, that's it. The rest is all silly, goofy, physical comedy fun.

It's not really my cup of tea, as I would have preferred a little more darkness and seriousness, but the humor is done decently well. I'm mostly a supporter of this film because it's a sequel to two great films, and was one of the last bits of mainstream film I can think of to feature great use of stop motion. Sure, it's not as gory as the others, and it ain't scary, but I think that could have taken it in a far worse direction than this.

Give it a shot. It's not what I was hoping for, but it still manages to be a decent time anyway, so that really says something.
