10 Best Number 3s In Horror Movie History

Let's get this out of the way early - Army of Darkness is nowhere near as good as The Evil Dead or Evil Dead II. But let's give it some credit here, because that was always going to be a tough ask.

Still, as we mentioned with The Exorcist, let's not count this movie out based on what came before it.

Army of Darkness picks up right where Evil Dead II left off, with Bruce Campbell's Ash Williams trapped in the Middle Ages. To return to the present day, he must find and use the Necronomicon, the mythical Book of the Dead that got him into this mess in the first place.

There's plenty of gore, burtality, and zombie killing in this movie, all the usual Evil Dead sense of humour, except this time Ash is truly out of his depth in a time that he knows nothing about.

If you've put this film off because you heard it "wasn't as good as the first two", then you are doing yourself a massive disservice. Army of Darkness is still a lot of fun, especially for Evil Dead, so get online and get yourself a three-disc boxset right this instant!
