Synopsis

Bruce Campbell reprises his role as Ash Williams, an aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who’s spent the last three decades avoiding maturity, and the terrors of the Evil Dead. But when a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, he’s forced to face his demons — both metaphorical and literal.

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
jtungsten16 Ash Vs Evil Dead is definitely going down as one of my favorite series of all time, this is a classic people, the acting, writing, cinematography and special FX are all top notch on this series, it just looks good and the location of New Zealand was the perfect Back drop. Season 3 happens to be my favorite with the addition of Lindsay Farris and the actress that plays Ash's daughter. I really think Starz made a mistake canceling this show, but I understand the whole pirating situation, everyone wanted the show, but didn't want to pay, which I understand too, but it needed to go on a paid network because of the content, if Ash Vs Evil Dead was on Fox they couldn't of done half the amazing stuff they did. I'm just glad we got our 15 hour movie and it needs to remain alive as a classic!
Pjtaylor-96-138044 Season 2 of 'Ash Vs Evil Dead (2016)' is almost immediately a different beast to the first, with the changes in style and tone being subtle but apparent right from the get-go. Indeed, if the first was 'Evil Dead 2 (1987)', then this is definitely a gorier 'Army Of Darkness (1992)'. It uses its comedy, which is much sillier and over-the-top here, to create wacky and increasingly ridiculous situations as opposed to simply placing these charismatic characters in inherently scary yet otherworldly scenarios and having the laughs come from how they react to them. The difference might not seem that big, but it actually is. It means that there are less proper scares this time, at least in the first half, and that the balance between comedy and horror isn't quite as fine-tuned because the emphasis is totally placed on slapstick tomfoolery, with buckets of blood substituting actual horror, instead of the genuinely creepy set-pieces that included the odd one-liner as releases from the tension (instead of the old cat gag). This issue subsides somewhat in the second half with the introduction of the big-bad, who is a unique villain and brings with him the opportunity for some more suspenseful episodes. The new style isn't entirely unsuccessful either, though there are more jokes that fall flat on their faces this time. The cast are just as charismatic as ever, with Campbell remaining the star and the newly introduced players making their mark in satisfying ways. The story is also somewhat improved in term of its structure and pacing, though its final two episodes seem like a non-sequitur compared to what came before and its last moments make little sense in general. The ending is an improvement, though, as it caps off the series in a satisfying way while leaving some room for a third season. It's much better than the quite bitter non-ending of the Ghostbeaters' first outing. In total, this series isn't as good as the first but it finds its footing as something slightly different, which prevents it from feeling stale. It is almost equally as enjoyable and there are some fantastic sequences, including a truly crass but satisfying extended 'fart joke', that stand out in memory long after the show is over. Its an enjoyable ride from beginning to end that's usually very funny, still sometimes scary and always a blast to watch. 8/10
Wu_Tang_Clam This was such a funny show with tons of action and gore. I seriously can't believe Starz is cancelling the show after 3 seasons. One of, if not the best, horror TV show available.
johnbell863 First off, this show was cancelled too soon after one of its best seasons, and that will forever piss me off. Second, this is a great continuation of the Evil Dead franchise. It explores the Book of the Dead and all the different demons it can summon, and has some really badass gore scenes. Some are gross, most are hilarious, and all of them have this twisted creativity that make this show stand out. After following this show from the beginning, I'm really sad to see it go. But even though Bruce Campbell is retiring the role, I know the deadite-slaying Ash Williams will live on eternally.
