Army of Darkness, or S-Mart Employee of the Month Getting Medieval on Screwheads Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi were at a pinnacle for this genre making this movie. Nothing comes close in my book of horror comedies. I love all their other work, but this stands the test of time well and will crack most people up whatever their age. This movie is quoted regularly at gatherings of people partying, and it makes a great party movie. AOD is a superb mix of horror movie and comedy. The first two Evil Dead movies although entertaining are mainly horror with less comedy. Many fans adore them although the third in the series was much more to my liking.
An S-Mart employee has barely escaped a horrible experience in the woods where his friends were killed and he lost his hand. He has replaced it with a chainsaw attachment and he has a double barreled shotgun as well. Driving his 1973 Oldsmobile as fast as he can he is teleported while trying to escape. He ends up in medieval times and must prove himself to the local Lord by recovering a book of the dead. What ensues is comic genius as he fights skeletons, demons, witches, and himself. Excellent DVD with some extras. If you enjoyed this catch "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "Hotshots! Part Deux". - C. Luster
Favorite movie ever My wife and I originally saw this movie in the theater. I laughed so hard throughout the movie that I missed a lot of it. So, I bought the vhs tape and wore it out. Then when DVD came out, I bought it and have watched it at least a dozen times. Now I have the HD and I am glad I do. The special effects seem if nothing else, worse on the HD version because of the high detail, but that just adds to the character of it. Just can't get tired of this movie.
I have no choice -- I MUST love this movie! I love cheesey horror movies! I love The Three Stooges!
How could I NOT love this film? My God, it's sheer perfection!!
Good, Bad...I'm the guy with the gun! Yes the format is dead...BUT if you own an HD DVD player (buy it on close out) why not get the supporting HD movie software dirt cheap. Yes these titles will be re-released on Blu-ray but why pay twice the price for the same HD quality picture...plus the HD DVD player is an excellent standard DVD upconverter...much better than the $79 DVD upscalers that are on the market today.
Classic This movie is a classic horror/comedy. Bruce campbell is a great actor and this and the evil dead series are instant classics. I just wish they would of made more.
