Product Description: Bound in human flesh inked in blood - and amazingly hard to pronounce - the ancient "Necronomicon" (Book of the Dead) unleashes unspeakable evil upon mankind in director Sam Raimi's (Darkman) outrageously hilarious sword-and-sorcery epic.Back to do battle with the hideous "Deadites" Bruce Campbell reprises his role from the Evil Dead series as 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 England's Dark Ages where he romances a beauty (Embeth Davidtz) and faces legions of undead beasts including a ghastly army of skeletons. Can Ash save the living from the evil dead rescue his girlfriend and get back to his own time?Runtime: 81 minsFormat: DVD HD Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 025195013130 Manufacturer No: 61101612
Amazon.com: A movie that only true horror buffs could love, Army of Darkness is officially part 3 in the wild and wacky Evil Dead trilogy masterminded by the perversely inventive director Sam Raimi, who would later serve as executive producer of the popular syndicated TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Raimi's favorite actor, Bruce Campbell, returns as Ash (hero of the first two Evil Dead flicks), a hardware-store clerk who is magically transported--along with his beat-up Oldsmobile and a chainsaw attachment for his severed left forearm--to the brutal battlefields of the 14th century. He quickly assumes power (who else in the Middle Ages packs a shotgun and a chainsaw?), and unites his band of medieval knights against the dreaded Army of the Dead. Raimi gleefully subverts almost every horror-movie cliché as he serves up a nonstop parade of blood, gore, and vicious sword-bearing skeletons--an affectionate homage to animator Ray Harryhausen's classic Jason and the Argonauts. The frantic action is fun while it lasts, but even at 80 minutes Army of Darkness nearly wears out its welcome. You know that Raimi can maintain the mayhem for only so long before it grows tiresome, and fortunately this madcap movie quits while it's ahead. --Jeff Shannon
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.
