    Boat People

    Army of Darkness

    ★★★

    - this has by far the most plot of the evil dead movies
    - each one rewrites the previous
    - love to see the wires
    - stop motion skeletons move so good
    - i know this is rated R but it almost feels like it’s a kids movie with all the slapstick
    - holy cow so many quotable one liners
