‘Army of Darkness’
Technically the third part of the Evil Dead trilogy, the good news is you don’t really need to watch the first two movies to understand what’s going on here. I mean, you should, but you don’t have to. Regardless, Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) finds himself back in the middle ages battling the undead. It’s goofy, funny, bloody, scary… Everything you expect from a Sam Raimi movie, and a whole lot more. Unlike the serious Evil Dead, and Evil Dead 2 (which split the tones), Army of Darkness finds the perfect balance of parody and tribute, and helped truly launch the franchise.
