The third - and seemingly ultimate - of the Evil Dead movies discovers Ash Williams and his trusty chainsaw, somehow transferred to medieval England, about to clash, once again, with the undead. Whilst being an alien in a peculiar place, he entices an auspicious young woman, Sheila and assists the hesitant inhabitants.
One of the wonderful things about this film is that it progresses at such a rip-roaring swiftness that one has barely time to catch their breath or even total the irrationality of the story. But, who cares? This submission, which somewhat avoids the initial Evil Dead's basis, and exploits more of the crazed, intense rapidity of Evil Dead 2, seems contented to tender considerable quantities of humour mixed with guttural bloodshed and merely the thinnest character exposition. This is a magnificent conclusion to the finest trilogy in the comedy horror genre (probably).
Rent this movie. watch this movie. never ever let this movie out of your sight. If you like comedy, blokes with mental eyebrows and pointy chins, chainsaws, modded cars (not saxo style spoilers, but mad max style chopping whirly bits), and just plain cheese, this is definately the movie for you. Loved the 2nd, liked the first, worship the third. Absolutely mental.
I fully endorse this movie - watch it when drunk, sober, miserable, happy - just watch it.
Like the characters themselves, the zombie genre just keeps on returning - yesterday came the announcement of a new film entitled Army of the Dead, while today brings a brand-new trailer for upcoming blood-soaked thriller 28 Weeks Later.

Fans of the movie may... Read more
