11. Army of Darkness

Disclaimer: I have not seen the first two Evil Dead movies.

The rest of this movie might have done well to borrow a page from the mini-Ash scenes, which lean on time-tested slapstick to largely successful effect. As executed, the culture clash inherent in a reluctant team up of our thoroughly modern, macho hero with medieval knights against the Deadites fails to amuse, despite or maybe in part because of the movies knowing use of clichs. The thudding, less-than-frightening action scenes do not help, which leaves the premise as this passable but awfully slight affairs best part.
