Army Of Darkness

Warning: Spoilers

Going back and looking into various classics brought me to Killer Tomatoes and for the most part it was enjoyable, so it'd be no surprise that I would take up a few suggestions. The Evil Dead classics were said to be very good with only one problem, I'm not good at watching horror movies, particularly with the supernatural involved. Indeed, the first two Evil Dead movies were are little hard for me to watch at times. That said, they are good, though what really got me was the third one, Army of Darkness.

What sets Army of Darkness apart from it's predecessors is the reduction of horror in exchange for comedy. Now for many the thought of this would cause a great deal of upset, but for me this movie is just a continuation of the evolution of the Ash Williams character. In the first he was a simple person thrown into a nightmare, while in the second he tries his best to come to terms with the madness. So by this point he's just going along with the madness in order just to get what he wants, to go home. I feel that in this movie the character of Ash is more badass then most current movie action heroes. Indeed, his sometimes badass/ sometimes idiot just makes this character even more lovable. This is also the movie which contains some of the most memorable quotes.

I'm so glad I watched Army of Darkness and I highly recommend you track it down and watch it. As for the first two movies? If you like horror (or just desperate to see the back story) then you may enjoy it, so check them out too.
