Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness (1993) Review

By Paco McCullough

[Note: This review discusses in some detail the cult classic Army of Darkness. If you haven't seen it, then quit reading this and go watch it.]

Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness is something of a contradiction: a studio-released, creator-supported bootleg of the film Army of Darkness. Released by Anchor Bay, the dvd has commentary with star Bruce Campbell, writer Ted Raimi, and writer/director Sam Raimi. It appeals to diehard fans of the original film, as its main appeal is fifteen minutes of additional footage and the original ending. As the box itself says, "Here lies the closest thing to an 'official' director's cut of 'Army' that you'll ever find."
