The Army of Darkness is the sequel to Evil Dead II.   I’d never seen Evil Dead II, so we tried it.  It’s a cabin in the woods story that is a bit campy and comically gory, but the story is a little tired and the setting is limited to the cabin and woods.  It didn’t keep our attention.

I’d seen Army of Darkness before, but it’s always fun so we watched that afterward.  It is a horror fantasy Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court story.  Bruce Campbell is fierce, competent and campy in a fun way. 

At the end of Evil Dead II, Bruce Campbell’s character, Ash, is sent back to medieval times.  Ash has a shotgun and a chainsaw that fits on his left arm stump.  Evil demon monsters, mostly skeleton soldiers, are trying to get the Necronomican book to increase their power.  Ash needs the book to get back to modern times.

I can always watch Army of Darkness, so 9/10.
