Army of Darkness Blu-ray
Screwhead Edition Universal Studios | 1993 | 81 mins | Rated R | Sep 15, 2009
Army of Darkness(1993)Action | Comedy | Fantasy | Horror | Romance     Forced to lead a makeshift Dark Ages army against the demonic Deadites, who possess all the deadly magic of hell, the shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed, reluctant 20th century time traveler Ash (Campbell) must save the living from the dead, rescue his medieval girlfriend and get back to his own time. For more details about Army of Darkness on Blu-ray, see the Army of Darkness Blu-ray Review Starring: Bruce Campbell, Embeth Davidtz, Marcus Gilbert, Ian Abercrombie, Richard Grove Director: Sam Raimi Army of Darkness Blu-ray, Video Quality  Army of Darkness makes its highly-anticipated Blu-ray debut with a disappointing 1080p, 1.85:1-framed transfer. The transfer appears to be the victim of noise reduction; it looks overly processed and far too sharp, lending to it an artificial appearance rather than a pleasant, film-like look. Grain appears sporadically but generally during effects shots or low light levels. Bright outdoor shots look "good" but display the most egregious of the processed appearance. The occasional speckle of dirt also creeps up from time to time. The transfer also suffers from some overzealous edge enhancement; distant exterior shots of the castle, for instance, are particularly aglow. Colors look fairly bright, and detail is moderately impressive. Chain mail armor, for example, looks thoroughly textured and nicely rendered, though it's not quite as sharp and lifelike as similar items worn by characters in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Braveheart. Black levels are decent, and flesh tones never appear overly rosy. Army of Darkness doesn't look bad by any stretch, but there seems to be plenty of room for improvement. Army of Darkness Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Army of Darkness grooves onto Blu-ray with a strong DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack that fares much better than the video presentation. Full, aggressive, and fun, it never lets up and delivers an engaging sonic experience that takes full advantage of the entire soundstage. The soundtrack positively booms on occasion, particularly in conjunction with the thuds of Ash's "boomstick" or, at another juncture in the film, as Ash hides in a wooden cabin as enemies attempt to beat their way into the structure. Directional effects, too, are solid. Sound often scatters all around the soundstage, and plenty of smaller details make their way into the mix, too. Whether clanking bones in one scene or thunder clapping off in the distance in another, the listening area often fills up with smaller but in no way unimportant sound effects that complete a surround sound experience. Also featuring solid dialogue reproduction, Army of Darkness sounds better, clearer, and crisper on Blu-ray than it ever did on DVD.
