REVIEW: ARMY OF DARKNESS
09/11/09
OVERVIEW:
Cult superstar Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) reunites with
director Sam Raimi (Drag Me To Hell, Spider-Man) to battle
the deadly forces of evil in Army of Darkness – the
outrageous, effects-fueled
action epic that will make you scream with fear and
laughter, now available on Blu-ray Hi-Deffor the first time
ever
September 15
from Universal Studios Home Entertainment..
Forced to lead a makeshift Dark Ages army against the
demonic Deadites, who possess all the deadly magic of hell,
the shotgun-toting chainsaw-armed, reluctant 20th century
time traveler Ash (Campbell) must save the living from the
dead, rescue his medieval girlfriend and get back to his own
time. One of the most popular horror comedies of all time,
now digitally remastered with all-new bonus features, Army
of Darkness Screwhead Edition is drop dead fun!
BLU-RAY: The film is
presented in 1080P widescreen with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio preserving
the film's theatrical
format. It seems to be the same cut use in previous DVD
releases, however
the picture is just flawless, giving the film the clarity that
only high definition can provide. Universal Home
Entertainment has done it again with this transfer. Not only the picture looks
excellent in this release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1
Dolby DTS-HD in English that provides a nice complement to the
picture. It also includes 5.1 Dolby Digital language tracks
in Spanish, as well as subtitles in Spanish and
French.
In terms of Special Features,
the Blu-ray Disc doesn't include much. It includes a feature
called "Creating The Deadites" which talks about
the visual effects and an Alternate Ending that doesn't add
to much to the original story.The new features are
U-Control BD Live.
This is a blu-ray for fans
only, if you are not a fan and haven't seen the movie this
is a good rental, just to apreciated one of Sam Raimi
classics before Spider Man.
