Who else thought it kind of owed to those 80s fantasy films i mentioned than Night of the Living Dead/Dawn of the Dead/The Exorcist like the first 2 movies? it was a different departure from horror genre yet does have horror elements but mostly was more in the tradition of fantasy-comedy-adventure.
Possibly.
They seemed to go a different direction with every Evil Dead film.
The first one was meant as a legitimate horror movie. Then the second one a goofy comedy. This one did have a sort of sword and sorcery vibe to it. Though it retained some humour, it wasn't as all out silly as the second movie.
I would argue this one was sillier than the previous one.
shareMaybe so. It's been a while since I saw the second one.
I remember not liking the second one in comparison to the first, because it was a lot sillier. So maybe that's what I'm comparing it to.

Army of Darkness got pretty silly. I love the entire series, mind you, but the second seemed to be about 50/50 in terms of comedy/horror whereas this one is more of a pure comedy with some horror bits here and there.
Of course. That's why they changed the title.
None of the Evil dead movies were akin to Night/Dawn of the Dead. Excorcist maybe.
The 2nd movie was basically a remake of the first anyway. Silly ? True, but entertaining nonetheless.
