Critics Consensus
Some of the evil magic is gone as this trilogy capper dispenses with most of the scares, but Bruce Campbell's hammy charm and Sam Raimi's homage to classic visual effects make for a fun enough adventure.
Peter Besas Variety 03/31/2023 Blending almost nonstop violence with humorous parody, Sam Raimi’s latest excursion into horror-kitsch should prove a crowd-pleaser for the mall trade and perhaps a mite beyond. Go to Full Review Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer 03/31/2023 Replete with thumping horse hooves, the battle cries of lusty men and the banshee screams of the living dead, Raimi's movie comes at you with a noisy, jokey swagger. Its hero even says "groovy" and gets away with it. Go to Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune 03/31/2023 Here's the problem: Bruce Campbell's character is a complete stiff, and so is everyone else he meets who isn't a special effect. The result is that we couldn't care less who wins any battle in the movie no matter how inventively photographed. Go to Full Review Alan Jones Radio Times Dec 17 As the second sequel to his classic Evil Dead, however, it's a vapid exercise in watered-down horror kitsch that betrays the whole ethos of the sublime original. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Sep 12 Despite abandoning the horror elements of its predecessors, it's still an entertaining showcase for Bruce Campbell's comedic chops and physical prowess. Go to Full Review Adrian Martin Film Critic: Adrian Martin Jul 30 Relocating Campbell and the nasty, invisible spirits who are his nemesis back in medieval times, the film is a riot of corny postures and camp lines.

Pete F Oct 12 Such a fun film and that much more enjoyable on the big screen! See more Kellyface Oct 12 A classic and personal favorite. Thrilled to finally get to see it n the big screen. Pure camp. See more jacob 08/30/2023 We need more old school horror movies back in theaters. It was great seeing it among fans. Everyone laughed and enjoyed it See more K G @KatyG-S 2d So that is what Ash went back in time for since the end of the predecessor. It was not as great as the others; the theme felt different with a sunny day on centuries ago, no wonder it does not look dark & eerie from the start. Judging by some of the enemies he faces (consisting of a few miniature beings & a another Ash) set up something comedic & they find themselves (laughing). Well, there was evil, targeted towards Ash. Was there dead? Yes, there was! Because skeletons starred in this. The deleted scenes could have made everything better. Sometimes, it was better to be just referred to as "Army of Darkness" like a spinoff not including "The Evil Dead-". See more Glenn H @Tredbull Jun 10 Pure entertainment. Bruce Campbell never disappoints. See more Martin P @endymetal May 17 hilarious and highly quotable b movie See more Read all reviews
