This is not the wet-behind-the-ears Ash we got in the first movie. Both a reboot as well as a sequel, Evil Dead 2 sees Ash in the same cabin in the woods as the original, but the story is all changed up. If there is a perfect horror movie, it’s Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn. But it’s not the best movie in the series. Ash is much more of an action hero in this one, wielding a chainsaw for a hand (And later a groovy metal hand) and a “boomstick” in the other, but there are just so many memorable moments in this movie that it’s sometimes easy to forget just what a great overall film it is. And if you’ve ever played the video game Duke Nukem, then a lot of the lines in this film should sound familiar since probably half of that game’s quips and one-liners came straight from this movie.Īrmy of Darkness is definitely the silliest movie in the franchise and what most people probably think of when they remember the Evil Dead series. But instead of this being even remotely terrifying, what we get instead is a whole lot of slapstick humor with Bruce Campbell even pulling the ‘ol sneeze-a-roo when trying to answer an important question because he forgot the answer to it. Army of Darkness follows Ash after the events of Evil Dead 2 (more on that in a few) where he gets sucked into a portal and sent back into medieval times. By 1992, Sam Raimi and company decided screw it, let’s just make a horror comedy, with more emphasis on the comedy.
