Army Of Darkness (ED3) has less horror and more comedy than the first two films. It's still worth watching, if for no other reason to see how the trilogy ends.
@MajorDSmythe I saw the DVD in HMV not long ago actually, I might go there tommorow and see if it's still in there. If it is, I'll be sure to pick it up and give it a watch, cheers.
Definately worth it my friend! Absolutely brilliant! :-bd
Awesome movie.
Would love to see Fincher have a crack at Bond.
One of my favorites, and one I truly hurt after seeing.
I love good ol' Jeff Goldblum, and there are certainly some great dino sequences, but there is no denying that The Lost World is nowhere near as good as the original. And while I liked "T-Rex in the Big City" as a child, it struck me as overly campy to me this time...
Anyway, a 6/10 from me.
First the positives. This film stays rather close to Stoker's novel, at least in some respects where other Dracula adaptations fall short. Klaus Kinski's performance as Renfield is utter brilliance and Herbert Lom delivers a fairly enjoyable Van Helsing. And it has Christopher Lee as Dracula.
That said, this film isn't a Hammer film and so there's no connection with Lee's Dracula in those films. In my opinion that shows. Lee is stoic, perhaps a bit too stoic. I miss that spark of menace he brings to some of his better Hammer Dracula's.
The film is overall cheap but maintains a fairly decent aesthetic for a low-budget Italian horror film of the early 1970's. It's no Fulci, Bava or Argento, but the final result, aided tremendously by Bruno Mattei's editing, doesn't quite dissatisfy.
After a while, the film tends to drag a little bit but not enough to give it a negative score, at least IMO. It's a fair bit of fun for Dracula fans.
Or never seen ;)
The Hobbit - I love it.
7/10
The horrors of africa.
And these are some of the most useless, spammiest posts I've ever read (or not read), gentlemen. ;-)
I feel ashamed to admit that that is one Dracula film i've not seen, and it's got Soledad Minanda in it.
Haven't seen that Dracula yet.....Scars of Dracula rules , it's underrated and I loved Troughton as Klove.
The story of a bank teller turned serial killer of wealthy widows to support his family.
Offbeat Chaplin story.
Cute little slasher flick from the golden years of the genre. Doesn't take itself too seriously and that makes it earn some points from me. It's no Friday 13th or Halloween but it certainly isn't as big a stinker as Don't Go Into The Woods Alone. Laughable acting, ridiculous script, deliciously amateurish score (but with some great punk beats from way back) and often terrible effects nonetheless bring entertainment to the house of slasher fans like myself. To everyone else, I say don't watch this film. ;-)
I have heard so much about this film. Joss Whedon even got involved, right? I will have to give it a watch sometime.
No! Joss Whedon! Wrote it, at least.
Nah, Drew Goddard, who was a writer for shows like 'Alias' and 'Lost.' This was his first time directing. In fact, Joss Whedon helped him write the story, which was pretty cool.
If you do end up getting to watch it, try not to read up on it whatsoever. Just watch it, and I guarantee it will surprise you.
@DarthDimi, haha, that's very true. Wonderful way of putting it.
I also bought and watched Army Of Darkness for the first time today. It's extremely OTT, and like @MajorDSmythe said, it's more comedy than horror, but it is a very fun film.
1) Evil Dead 2
2) The Evil Dead
3) Army Of Darkness
I also hear that they're remaking the first film. I think you can't replace Bruce Campbell, but I'll see it at the cinema. I didn't mind the Halloween remake so maybe this will be like that, nowhere near as good as the original but fun anyway. If not, well it'll be fun trashing it.
Hadn't watched it in a while and I forgot how bad it was (aside from the great pre-title sequence). I'd put it down as Brosnan's worst.
Spiderman 3 allllll over again... X(
I know, and I think Raimi is too, but I don't have much faith in remakes normally and Campbell was the main reason I enjoyed the first 3.
I'd have preferred another sequel.
Dodged a bullet there then (although I do actually like NSNA).
Hail to the king, baby.
