Review – Army of Darkness

Though it’s firmly established that I really don’t like intentionally funny horror movies, this one’s even more awful than usual for such efforts. Imagine a cheap latex Satan as the fourth member of the Three Stooges, and you’ve got a general idea of what you’re in store for here. The not-very-special effects are as dreadful as the script, a boring bit of hack work that relies mostly on violence punctuated by “snappy” comeback lines that wouldn’t amuse an average twelve-year-old. The biggest insult is that this is the second (and with any luck the last) sequel to Evil Dead, a classic of low-budget fright film-making. Wish I’d skipped it
