Army of Darkness

Army of Darkness is a movie in case you're wondering. It was made in 1992 and was written and produced by Bruce Campbell. It is the third of the Evil Dead movies but you don't need to see the prceding films to understand this one. I didn't.

Ok, first things first. The plot. Fairly simple and original plot. After a run in with some demons in the present day. Well, not present day. It was present day then, in the 80s. It's the past but it was present day when the film was made. Anyway, the main character, Ash(Campbell), is sucked through a portal and he and his '78 Buick were transported back to the 1300s. The demons he encountered were accidentally conjured by the book of the dead, the Necrinomicon. So here's the deal. In order for Ash to return to his own time, he has to take the Necrinomicon from it's cradle in the woods beyond the kingdom he lands in. He then gives it to the midevil guys so they can use it to defeat the Army of Darkness and send Ash home. But everything goes horribly wrong.

In order for Ash to safely remove the Necrinomicon from it's cradle, he has to say the words, "Clata Varata Nicto." But he messes up and the Army of Darkness awakens. That's about all I can say without making the movie horrible for you.

Keep in mind this movie is incredibly cheesy and "B"ish because it ways made that way. It is, however, hilarious and the cheese just compliments its humor. The majority of the funny parts in this movie and the one-liners. These include, "Good guy, bad guy. I'm the guy with the gun," and, "Shop smart, shop S-mart," and of course, "Clata Varata Nicto." This film also includes Ashes "boomstick speech."

It's a funny and all around cool movie that I recomend to anyone. It is rated R for mild violence and the F word is used once. It was made in 1992. So if you're bored one night, and you feel like renting or buying a random movie, make it Army of Darkness.
