Army of Darkness

Army of Darkness

1992

Directed by Sam Raimi

This is the third Evil Dead film... and the one most focused on comedy out of the three. There are some great one-liners in this film and Bruce Campbell does a great job as the macho hero Ash. The film really is a tribute to the work of Ray Harryhausen and there are some very funny skeleton army scenes. Not all of the humor works, but this is still a fun film to watch with a group of friends.

Evil Dead 2

Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn

1987

Directed by Sam Raimi

I just watched this film for the first time in quite a few years. Evil Dead 2 is on of the funniest horror movies I think that I have ever seen, and it still holds up over 20 years later. This is one of those films where you can just imagine that the cast and crew must have had so much fun making the film. 

The stand-out performer of the film is, of course, Bruce Campbell. He has such great comic timing and watching he this film you can see just how good he is at physical humor. The scene where he has to cut of his hand is grotesque, yes, but also very funny.
