Army of Darkness, with its demented madcap vision, marked Raimi’s true entrance into Hollywood-sized filmmaking, and you can trace a straight line from this, the final installment of a series that began as an indie feature funded by dentists with spare investment cash, to the director’s eventual helming of the Spider-Man franchise. Willfully glib but precisely assembled, the film remains one of the most entertaining films of the ’90s. Image/SoundWhile it’s true that the Evil Dead series became more and more campy over time, it felt like an organic transition. Most horror franchises tend to get more laughable as they go on, whether they’re intended to or not. Evil Dead II exists solely because of the mild bit of controversy that surrounded the original film, particularly in the UK where Sam Raimi was taken to task for it, even being brought in to testify in court for it (nothing ever came of it). Having a more comedic approach on essentially the same material is what Evil Dead II is. Army of Darkness, however, pulls out all the stops. Audio is included for all versions in English 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio with optional subtitles in English SDH. There isn’t much of a difference between the three versions in this capacity. Dialogue is always clean and clear, only occasionally slipping due to being overcrowded with noise, particularly during the final battle at the end. Sound effects have plenty of impact, especially ambient moments. When Ash is being chased through the woods or moving through the cemetery, speaker to speaker activity is appropriately showcased. Score has plenty of heft to it and mixes in well without distortion issues. There are also some nice uses of LFE, which pop up from time to time, particularly during the end battle. Real scenarios often make for the best horror media. How much we care about the characters determines the failure or success of any piece of media. Nightsleeper will have run into trouble if they focus too much on the action. Leather is fully aware of this, stating “We knew we were making a big action thriller, but you still need it to have heart, humor and warmth. I can’t write any other way,”

so much so you can't imagine any other actor in the same role.
