Why it’s HorroRated
Army of Darkness leans fully into slapstick horror comedy and sends Ash somewhere the previous films couldn't go. Raimi keeps the pace high and the humor broad and Bruce Campbell is the whole show. It's not the darkest installment of the series but as a showcase for Campbell it might be the peak.
Synopsis
Army of Darkness leans fully into slapstick horror comedy and sends Ash somewhere the previous films couldn't. Raimi keeps the pace high and the humor broad, and the slapstick set pieces work as pure physical comedy. As a showcase for Bruce Campbell it might be the peak of what the character can do.
