10 Most Unexpected Time Jumps In Horror Movies
1. Back To The Middle Ages - Evil Dead II
What better way to end this list than with one of the maddest time jumps in not just horror history, but cinema in general.
After attaching a chainsaw to his hand and deciding he's had enough of these damn Deadites, Ash Williams and his accomplice Annie Knowby resolve to banish the evil monsters once and for all by reading a section of the Necronomicon.
Even though Annie dies in the ensuing scuffle, the spell works, opening up a portal that sucks the creatures through it. Unfortunately for Ash, he and his trusty Oldsmobile are also pulled in.
Does Ash end up in an alternate dimension? Does he arrive in Hell and have to fight off more Deadites? Nope. He ends up in the Middle Ages. Because sure, why not?
It turns out that the portal was to the distant past and Ash has rocked up in the time of Arthurian legend, where his advanced weaponry alerts the attention of a nearby group of knights. The final shot of Evil Dead II is Ash screaming in frustration, setting up the next film in the series, Army of Darkness.
Hands up who saw that one coming.
