This fav is an oldy but a good. It is the third installment of Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD trilogy
It is
You've probabely all seen this one all ready, if not, turn your computer off immediately and get to the video store.
This flick has it all, action, adventure, romance, comedy. As if you didn't know, the plot concerns our hero, Ash, being timewarped back to the middle ages (see the end of EVIL DEAD II)where he must fight an Army of the Evil Dead and protect the dreaded Necronomicon. If the Army of Darkness get the book, it means the End, and besides Ash needs it to get back to his own time. It's a non-stop thill ride. Its definately one of the coolest movies ever made....
But that's not the full reason I picked this. Sure I watch it with the Kid at least once a month and it makes a cool late night date flick and stuff, but I just picked up a copy from a Japanese Laser Disc from GOREHOUND VIDEO (you can also get it at VIDEO MAYHEM) which is 17 min longer and has a bunch of alternate scenes and scenes cut from the American release. Plus it has the original alternate Rip Van Winkle ending which was pretty cool and would have made for a hell of a Part IV...
If you loved the original, ya gotta check this one...

Now you'll likely have a hard time finding this one on DVD, and since Gorehound is now out of business, you might want to checkout:
It has a version with the original ending that is 15min longer than the original and plays pretty close to the Japanese Laser Disc release...
