"A lunatic sword-and-sorcery-and-screwball romp, Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness is a rousing mishmash of horror gore, Middle Ages swordplay, comic-book fantasy and, er, the Three Stooges." - Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

 

"Benefitting enormously from Raimi's brisk, no-nonsense direction, it shows again that he can fill a broader canvas with complicated effects." - Jay Carr, The Boston Globe

 

"A lot gets overdone in Army of Darkness.  Everything in fact.  But Campbell, who as Ash wears a chainsaw on the stump of his arm, his shotgun on his back and a smirk on his lips, ultimately saves the film, just as Ash saves the day." - John Anderson, New York Newsday

Bound in human flesh and inked in blood, the ancient Necronomicon - the Book of the Dead - unleashes unspeakable evil upon mankind in director Sam Raimi's outrageously hilarious third chapter in his Evil Dead trilogy.  

Back to do battle with the hideous Deadites, Bruce Campbell returns to the role of 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 the Dark Ages, where he romances a beauty (Embeth Davidtz, The Amazing Spider-Man) and faces legions of the undead.  Can Ash save the living from the evil dead, rescue his girlfriend, and get back to his own time?
