Ash vs. Evil Dead Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME SHOW! Its different from the films in many many ways but still has the heartfelt goofballishness that made the films so great. I’ve watched both seasons 1 & 2 and they both are terrific. I started to wonder what the films would have been like if they had had the CGI technology then that we have now. If that were the case the movies would still be good; but not the timeless classics that they are now. In season 1 you’ll notice that there are many references to the first two films, but nothing referencing the ‘Army of Darkness’ film. Apparently there was some legal dispute over the “rights” to it and it could not be mentioned or referenced. But in season 2 it becomes a rather important ordeal to the actual storyline itself. The films served as an inspiration to a generation or more of up and coming film makers. Bruce Campbell can simply do no wrong as Ash Williams. This show is funny as hell! im so glad that its a show and not another series of films. TV just has so much more impact as far as story lengths go. I love it and you will to.

Bruce Campbell is one of those actors that are good, but rarely get roles, certainly not good roles. His iconic role was in Army of Darkness, which has become a classic cult movie and started this franchise.
This is basically a replay of the basics of the original movie. He’s a dimwitted, wisecracking guy who has a chainsaw attached to his one arm and carries a “boomstick” from S-Mart on the other, killing evil demons with both which have been set loose on the earth through an evil magical book called the Necromicon (from H. P. Lovecraft). Anyway, this series is one long series of extremely gory killings interspaced with a lot of wisecracks. The flaw in this series are the scriptwriters: they are too formulaic. Oh, well. He’s accompanied by several sidekicks whose main contribution to the story is a lot of screaming. Oh, well. I still like Campbell.

There are a surprising number of daylight scenes. I got the impression from the second movie that the Evil Dead can’t possess people during the daytime.
It seems like every household object in this show is hard enough and sharp enough to punch through a person’s whole body and impale them.
I don’t understand the writer of the Necronomicon being so eager to find it.
The person who wrote it is the person who needs it least. You have to have known the information in order to have written it down.
Maybe the point of finding the book was to destroy it rather than read it. But that doesn’t seem necessary since most of the book is written in a foreign language, and Ash can’t read it.
Still, I was on the edge of my seat, and I binge-watched the whole show in one night.
