Story: A man is accidentally transported to 1300 A.D., where he must battle an army of the dead and retrieve the Necronomicon so he can return home. (IMDb)


Army of Darkness is a madcap adventure worth taking thanks to Bruce Campbell’s hammy charm and Sam Raimi’s acrobatic direction, although an intentional lack of shocks make this a discordant capper to the Evil Dead franchise.
