Army of Darkness, also known as Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness or just Evil Dead III or Bruce Campbell vs Army of Darkness, is a 1992 comedy horror film directed by Sam Raimi. It is the third and final installment in The Evil Dead trilogy. The film was written by Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan, produced by Robert Tapert, and stars Bruce Campbell and Embeth Davidtz. Continuing from Evil Dead II, Ash Williams is trapped in the Middle Ages and he battles the undead in his quest to return to the present. Army of Darkness is not as violent or gory as the prior Evil Dead films, relying more on... slapstick. The film was produced as part of a production deal with Universal Studios after the financial success of Darkman. Filming took place in California in 1991. It was released in the US on February 19, 1993 and grossed $11.503 million domestically and another $10 million outside the USA for a total worldwide gross of $21.5 million. Critical response was generally less positive than the first two films. Since its video release it has acquired a cult following, along with the other two films in the trilogy.
