Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Jordan

Bruce Campbell, The Chin, is the man of a million faces. What immaculate bone structure. Truly he is the face of a god.

The hilarious 3rd instalment of the Evil Dead series, it leaves the confines of the cabin in the woods and throws him back in time for a more epic final quest. Being the first rated PG-13 the violence is much more watered down graphically but the hilarity is cranked up a notch or two.

In this one he gets to fight off an army of little version of himself, as well as his evil twin and a whole army of the undead and possessed. As usual Sam Raimi pulls out all the stops with a completely cartoonish camera movies and a great mix of visual and practical old school low fi effects wizardry.

This one is a lot of peoples favourite in the series, I personally prefer the 2nd, that hits the balance of comedy and horror better for me. But none can deny the awesomeness of the film, with the great (or terrible) one liners, and amusing action sequences. Looks damn great on blurry. We watch the first two last year so it was great to finally finish off the series. An all time classic.
