The Evil Dead is an average, low-budget horror film. It's good if you're a horror or gore fan (which I am).

Evil Dead II is one of the funniest damn movies I've ever seen - I love every second of that movie, even the 10-minute remake of the first one at the beginning.

Army of Darkness ditches all "horror" pretenses and becomes more Monty Python-esque in nature. I enjoy it a lot, but in all honesty, I think EDII surpasses it in many ways.

I don't know what to think of a fourth one. Part of me wonders which ending of #3 they'll follow, then I remember that #3 didn't really follow the ending of #2 anyway. And #2 didn't follow #1 at all, it just remade it at the beginning. So my guess is it'll give us a whole new post-"sleep" scenario.

I'd see it, but wouldn't expect much from it. I'd like to see it return to its roots and be more Evil Dead II-ish and less Army of Darkness-ish.

And the R3 NTSC Director's Cut looks fantastic, it doesn't suffer from the Betamax-transferred added scenes that the Anchor Bay releases do. I have no idea why that transfer hasn't been released in the US, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with it at all.
