"Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures."
Bruce fucking Campbell.

Okay I knew that Evil Dead 2 turns the franchise into a comedic thing but I have only seen the first Evil Dead and the remake so I didn’t know the TONE of comedy that this would be… boy, was i in for a shock. Absolute blast of a movie, weirdly very scary at parts and then immediately 80s-teen-movie goofy right after it. The jokes feel like they’re for kids, but the spooks do not! Wish I’d watched this before I could recognize all the one liners!

Nobody moved a camera like ’90s Sam Raimi. You could teach an entire class on visual storytelling on just what Raimi does here in the first 20 minutes. The pans, shifts, zooms, and dollies; they’re wild and frenetic but they’re also totally clear and completely in the service of telling and enhancing the story. And then the sudden shifts from epic horror to goofy comedy; nobody’s ever done that better.
Five stars ain’t enough. It really doesn’t get better than this.

This film concludes a horror franchise I consider to be one of the greatest ever conceived.
It is the trilogy's Santa Claus, adding joy, merriment and laughter.
And chainsaws.
And Deadites.
And time travel.
And cloning.
And magic.
Ok, so it's nothing like Santa at all, but you get my point.
Oh, and I'm so proud! I managed to do this without one quote!
Groovy!
....bollocks.... -
don’t know what it was about evil dead and evil dead 2 that made sam raimi look back at them and decide the only logical conclusion to the trilogy was to send ash to 1300 AD to fight a skeleton army but i absolutely love where his mind was at

“Well hello Mr Fancypants. Well, I’ve got news for you pal, you ain’t leadin but two things, right now: Jack and shit... and Jack left town.”
Name a better trilogy. I’ll wait.
Edit: Also Game of Thrones Season 8 wishes it could do what this film does…

raimi continues developing the manic kineticism and gory slapstick of his evil dead movies into something that now borders on fantastical mad magazine cartoon spoof territory. i could see someone finding it exhausting even at 80 minutes but the pure, breathless passion it has to throw every dumb gag it possibly can at you and then proceed to blow it to bits just for the hell of it is its charm. not to mention the truly historic levels of mugging and stop-motion action craft. hail to the king, baby.

A perfect, hilarious end to one of the greatest trilogies of all time. Sam Raimi is such an inspiration. The effects in this film are stunning and fascinating and the ideas are creative and imaginitive. Most of all, it's hysterical; the ridiculously goofy, campy, awesome zombies' use of modern slang like, "you're going down," in 1300 A.D. I used to think that this was the weakest in the trilogy, and maybe it is because I consider the first two to be masterful works of pure inventiveness, but I'm starting to think that Army of Darkness may be just as good. The best one liners. Raimi unhinged, in his purest form. Much credit to Ivan Raimi as well and of course, the Man, Mr. Campbell. "Groovy."

I was fucking obsessed with this movie when I was 13. Watched it until it was threadbare. Glad I gave it a 20 year pause. It holds up but I still viscerally remember every line and gag. Bruce Campbell is so cool and funny. He got in a little late to be "the guy" who made me want to become an actor but he's the Lincoln on my Mt. Rushmore for sure.
Don't have a lot to add other than to say that if we ever make a Rude Tales movie I want Sam Raimi from 1992 to direct it.
