Where the first one started off with out-and-out pure horror, the second managed to successfully blend some cheesy humor into the same horror scenario. Where the 3rd went was into more cheesy, black humor in a different setting than horror like the first and second.
And it was like watching Conan or Red Sonja rather than an Evil Dead sequel. Of course Ash got his "king" tag from this movie (and from the end of ED2), but as far as ED movies go...AoD was more in the lines of an entertaining comedy/horror...than a horror movie with doses of comedy.
Excellent critical bashings folks! I have to say we have some very knowledgeable members here at HDC who can successfully critically dissect a particular movie...
Speaking of which...one movie which I have seen a lot of people giving the thumbs down to...is
Phantasm
yet there are some of us who adore it.
Why do the haters hate it? What doesnt click with them? Bring on the bashing!!
