Army of Darkness was also not a hit when it was initially released, but thanks to home video and repeated cable airings throughout the years, it became a cult favorite. It was such an aftermarket success that Universal allowed Anchor Bay Entertainment to release a Director’s Cut of it on DVD... many times over. Personally, I prefer the Theatrical Cut more. The original ending, which involves Ash accidentally sleeping too long and waking up in a dead world, just doesn’t seem to jibe with the campy thrill ride that came before it. It may have been a more befitting end for a “loud-mouth braggart” like Ash, but it clashes with the overall tone. One thing’s for sure: if that decision hadn’t been made, we might not have gotten the Ash vs Evil Dead TV series. Got all that? If you’re a long-time fan of the film, I’m sure you could easily follow all of that. If you’re like me, though, and only had a passing acquaintance with Army of Darkness until now, let me lay out the specifics of this four-disc set: There’s a massive amount of supplemental material to dig though. Disc One contains no extras but Disc Two features Medieval Times: The Making of Army of Darkness, a great documentary by Red Shirt Pictures on the making of the film. It contains interviews with many of the people involved with the production, including actors Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, Timothy Quill, Richard Grove, Bill Moseley, Patricia Tallman, Angela Featherstone, director of photography Bill Pope, editor Bob Murawski, production designer Anthony Tremblay, music composer Joseph LoDuca, costume designer Ida Gearon, special make-up effects artists Howard Berger, Tony Gardner, Robert Kurtzman, Greg Nicotero, “Pit Bitch” performer and effects artist William Bryan, mechanical effects artist Gary Jones, first assistant director John Cameron, visual effects supervisor William Mesa, and last, but not least, stunt coordinator Christopher Doyle. Also included is the original ending, the original opening, and a set of deleted scenes, the latter two with optional audio commentary by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell (the original ending features the commentary only).

A horde of deadites lay siege to the Ultra HD fortress with an impressive HEVC H.265 encode that exceeds expectations and pretty much puts the previous Blu-ray release to shame. Coming from brand-new restoration and remaster of the original 35mm camera negatives, the native 4K transfer, approved by Raimi and cinematographer Bill Pope, showcases incredibly sharp details for a majority of the runtime with a few soft, blurry moments sprinkled throughout. However, most of those are associated with the optical effects, compositing and matte photography, so they are to be expected and easily forgiven. Otherwise, the individual hairs of the cast, the threading in the costumes and the tiny pebbles on the ground are discrete, and the small fractures and imperfections along the castle walls are plain to make out from a short distance. Facial complexions appear natural with an accurate peachy-rose tone in every actor and lifelike textures, revealing every pore, wrinkle and negligible blemish. Also included are two poster tubes with a poster inside each. One poster is rolled up and features the original theatrical poster one sheet, and the other comes with the newly illustrated artwork for the film. and there is plenty of comedy gold for Evil Dead fans (with an onslaught of great one-liners).
