Three long and suspiciously quiet decades after his bloody last encounter with the demonic abominations in the
Army of Darkness (1992), the heroic former monster-killer Ash Williams, now a grizzled Casanova in bad shape, finds himself treading water. However, after spending years peering over his shoulder, convinced that
The Evil Dead (1981) would come back with a vengeance, Ash is unwillingly back in the demon-slaying game when, in one of those spur-of-the-moment decisions, unwittingly unleashes hell on Earth. As the plague of the Deadites not only threatens to destroy the neighbourhood but also annihilate the entire human race, Ash must brace himself up for the upcoming nightmare. But has the guy with the chainsaw and the shotgun what it takes to destroy the ancient Kandarian evil for good?
